Here's one of my latest acquisitions: a 1907-S Barber dime in, I think, AU-55 condition

 

Nice Barber. Barbers are a tough coin in really nice condition.

Just bought this rainbow-toned 1913 (Type 1) Buffalo Nickel.
Love those Buffalo's on the mound!

 

Just came in today! My coin budget is small at the moment and it takes a little saving for me get something like this.

 

That's a nice Stone Mountain! I think the Stone Mtn is one of the most under-rated designs amongst all the classic 50 cents commems.

Nice pickup!

 

I prefer the 1945-S based strictly on eye appeal. Very nice acquisitions.

 

TexasJarhead, I think we have similar tastes in coins! I liked the 44D when I first saw it (very unusual toning). But tthe 45S just has eye appeal out the wazoo. After a few days of mulling, I think the 45S is better (2 grades lower and much cheaper). I like it when that happens!

The combination of toning and luster is just killer.

 

Nice Stoney's guys....

 

If you're still looking for feedback on this, I'm going to be odd-man-out: I prefer the 44D. I like the subtle but even toning and, as nice as the toning and luster are on the 45S, as a type person, the weak strike is a deal-breaker for me.

Overall both are very nice and your Buffalo is stunning!

 

Thanks oval!

Yes I might end up keeping both Walkers. Tell you what, i have NEVER seen toning on a walker like the 44. So evenly distributed on both sides and not a hint of black or spotting. It's cool how the red and gold toning enhances the detail. Funny I never noticed the weak strike on the 45, but looking at the picture again ... i see what you mean. Two coins, both nice, totally different looks. The luster on the 45 is really eye popping though. The 45 was 1/3rd the price of the 44 -- that's a consideration.

I am so psyched about the Buffalo. I've been looking for a type 1 (on the mound) buff for a while. That one had fantastic two sided rainbow toning, and I was very happy with the price. That was an easy decision for me.

 

I got a 1894 and a 1906 Indian head cents from my grandpa! He is awesome! Yeah, they are only 2.00 but it was the thought that counts.
I also got a "1899" V-nickel! I posted a thread somewhere about how I thought it may be a 1885 or a 1895!!!!

 

Those are the best aquisitions Taylor......the ones that are "handed down". They are truly priceless, as we'll alway remember their particular pedigree.

 

I think he bought them from a dealer, but yeah, I will never sell!

 

Ike that I picked up on eBay for my type set. Will sit on it for a while, but the small spot at 8 o'clock on the obverse might be enough for me to keep looking.

1972-S PCGS MS67

 

Bought this from Angel Dees not long ago. Andy Skrabalak is probably the best dealer of small cents in the industry.

That is one sharp Lincoln. Hopefully I can find one on that order.

 

Thanks, rlm, for the nice words. Andy's cents aren't cheap but he has high standards and I think they're worth the premium. Here's a '26 I bought a little later.
Lance.

 

Now that is a sharp coin. I only have one coin from Andy. My 12-D came from him. It wasn't one of my better buys, but it was a fair price.

 

Here's yet another Stoney
