Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Just picked up my birth year proof set from a LCS. Here is a quick tablet photo. As I walked in he was working in some unopened proof sets. I checked the bid board and picked up a couple of silver world coins at just below spot. Then I noticed the year on the box of proofs 1963. I said hey that is the year I was born. He said I got this in today, an unopened box of 25 sets! He was opening each one looking for cameos. He let me have the pick of the 25 for $18. $1.50 over melt! He also let me have the original box. Not the best pictures but the coins are awesome. 57 years in storage and just opened about an hour or two ago.
Note the shipping label. I have no doubt that the box is original. The envelopes themselves were sealed as well.the way the tape is on the box and the label over the tape make it impossible that the box was opened and resealed.

That's why I don't believe there are any "sealed" proof or mint sets. Just like "unsearched" rolls.

 

I really like that burnt orange toning.

Got this one in yesterday. The D mint mark isn't visible in this photo, but under the scope I can make it out. The light angle has to be just right.

 

Couldn’t pass up the near cameo look of this one.

 

Also, my first $10 Gold Indian. So neat.

 

My 1875 s I got for a 1.10$ AG3 ish

 

Love me some AG Ag...

 

Saw a lot of circulation that did

 

I got a couple of new coins. One is an 2019PCGS MS69 Mexico Onza Silver Libertad. The other an 1927-D Peace Dollar.

 

I'd say between PO01-FR02. Still worth melt @ $1.95 today.

 

It arrived yesterday

 

and here are 3 different images of the above 1879 Morgan

 

and much to my surprise this arrive also, the OGP packaging

 

So after my last submission to a TPG I'm back to self slabbing.
This time it's the colorized BBHOF 50c. I used 2 gaskets then super glued the pieces together and made my own label

 

Very nice

 

I have a mint workers large fingerprint on an Ike Dollar.

 

The third image shows the luster present

 

I agree
