Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Yes, I agree. This is the best I could capture the toning on the 91 but couldn't quite get the reverse toning.

During the Holidays I visited my family who lives on Maui. While there, I checked out one of the island's few coin shops since I was in town and had a few minutes to kill. I wasn't really expecting to find anything based on previous visits to the shop. The shop usually has very few coins on display and those that are on display are typically way overpriced. That said, I stopped in anyways... glad I did. As I expected, there wasn't a great deal of coins on display and most of what I seen was pretty boring and very high priced. But in the bottom of one display case I saw the following set in a very beat up plastic holder...








But even in that beat up holder and in the bottom of the display case, I could tell the coins were nicely toned and I had to take a closer look. Shockingly, when I asked the price I was actually quoted a very fair price, barely above the silver melt value of the coins. After a closer look, the coins were beautifully toned on both sides. Unfortunately, the Peso appears to have been cleaned (probably when it was first put into the cardboard holder many years ago) as there are various lightly hairlines across MacArthur's face and in the fields when tilted just right. The 50 centavos appears to be problem free. In any event, I'm glad I was able to find something in the shop, especially something this cool and relatively inexpensive.

After opening the case I attempted to get better pics of the coins as follows, but it wasn't easy to get the color to show well without completely washing out the coin with too much light...

Wow that is one VERY nice toned 1968-D:thumb:

 

2011 Army Unc

After seeing both this coin and the half in person, I'm not the least surprised by the low number sold:

 

So many new things in my collection I can't share right now due to not having the camera at home... But here's a little teaser.

Oh, btw, it is an 1887-S like the picture says, not the title.

 

St Gaudens Gold

PCGS graded this St Gaudens as MS64. I was in the market for a 1 ounce bullion coin and found this St Gaudens for about the same price. What can I say? I jumped on it!

 

Got this 1918-D Mercury out of the junk silver bin. I'd say it's XF and a decent coin.

 

Two new ones!

One of the various 'extra finger' doubled dies,


And a nice Circ-cam 1843 Half dime

Wow..I havent seen that one yet. But I must say the silver half is infinitely nicer than that.
