Oh dear.......

 

There's one in every crowd.

 

Picked this one up for $49. It has some nice toning on it, and it's far better than the eBay seller's pics led me to initially believe. I photographed it in two ways (direct light and axial light). It resides in an NGC holder, graded MS66.

 

I had the O/C professionally imaged by Messydesk, and when I registered the coin at PCGS, this image popped up:

 

Common coin, tough slab to find. This will be my third Merc dime in this type of slab. Here's the sellers pics off ebay.





Oh yeah, the coin looks great too. Be interesting to see what it looks like in hand. I've also picked up 5 or so other Merc Dimes on ebay over the past week or so, have been far to lazy to post them here.

 

this came today :yes:

 

My latest

 

That's beautiful, James. Thanks for presenting it!

Another Merc arrived today...

 

Today in the mail

 

Picked this up from the coin shop recently.

 

Love the Expo halves! I am considering buying a 5 oz. bullion formed to be a expo half. Quite accurate. Hoping to get it at the right price. Now all I gotta do is get the money to buy five ounces of silver...

Picked up quite a few nice coins last weekend. I will post two/day.

1921 Peace NGC MS62
Been wanting one for a while and finally found one with good hair detail. Beautiful coin!


1826 CBH NGC XF40
Was looking for a nice high AU, but fell in love with this coin. The bust stands out gloriously against the background. Strike is sharp and clean too, especially on the satrs, which is hard to find.

 

Sweet Peace('s).......

 

Great Peace dollar, Valente. I've been looking for one of those! Wonderful 1826 50C, as well. I can see why you use "glorious"
Nice pickups and I look forward to what follows.

* PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS JUST A FILLER COIN, BUT I AM VERY PROUD OF IT AS THIS IS THE HOLY GRAIL OF MY COLLECTION THUS FAR!*

I finally got one!!!! WOOOOOOOOO! I am so stoked! I traded mostly roll-finds for this guy. Over all it cost me $25, since I got most of what I traded for face or less.
