Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Thanks for the comment, the part around the date is also a very strong die clash, plus the die crack.

Seller's pics.

I never considered myself much of a Washington collector, but they've been calling to me lately and I can't get enough. I got this particular example for non-cameo money. Very satisfied.

 

Lyds, do you "officially" collect Kennedy die varieties? How many have you got?

 

Heres a couple, not really new acquisitions but i did pull them from my junk foreign silver jar and get them fancy new air-tites to protect them, and to add to my more desirable keeper collection.

 

Purchased a few coins while I was up in Oregon this last week. Got this nicely toned Buff for $2-

Got this 1941 Woody for free. Was listed at .75 cents but the guy at the store said he just wanted cash and not to deal with change lol.

Again I am sorry about the quality of my images I am working on doing better but I think it will take some time.

 

Got this Steel Lincoln for free as well.

Picked up this lovely toned Lincoln Proof for $1-. This one will go to Robec for imaging when he gets a chance. The toning on it looks like a lava explosion in the back ground.

 

Heres some more pics of the 1960 proof.

Also picked up 5 War time Jefferson for $2- each but I havent taken pics of them yet.

 

Won this one on eBay. It was a gamble hoping for a nicely toned 59 proof. Instead I got a PR70 that I had to crack out. I know I am crazy right LOL but I just dont understand how SGS grades coins like this at a PF70 so its now a Raw again LOL.

 

Gonzo...nice coins and I do admire that Woody. One day I shall own one....one day.

 

Gonzo, next time you travel north, come up here so you can get those smokin' deals with me. I am totally jealous right now of that buff.

 

Miguel Hidalgo was feeling lonely so I had to get him a twin brother while gold's still down.

 

I went to work today and came home with this Battle Creek Morgan. It was a Good Day

 

Gonzo, I love that woody Lincoln. Nice find - so much character.

 

Me gusta mucho!

 

Just back from PCGS.




The Type 2 (Fred) has the wrong coin number and will go back. Instead of 7409 it should be 97409.

The coin numbers are as follows for the 1972 Eisenhower:

87409 - 1972 Type 1
97409 - 1972 Type 2
7409 - 1972 Type 3

The Jefferson was pulled from a roll and is exactly the same error as the famous (or maybe not so famous) 1959 Black Beauty Jefferson's which were hyped in the late 60's for moon money. (It's all in the name folks!)

I'll call mine Fred! Actually, the two above could be called Fred and Wilma. Yeah. Fred and Wilma! :yes:

At any rate, sintering is similar to the powder coating which goes on lots of automotive parts. Specifically Wheels. Its a process where a metallic powder is magnetically charged to another surface and then heat is used to adhere the powder. (Xerography?) Supposedly, copper dust is the powder and the annealing ovens are the heat source. When a coin passes through the annealing process normally, nothing happens but when the planchet gets "stuck" in the annealing ovens, then the sintering occurs.

Of course, this theory was debunked back when the same thing occurred with the Presidential Dollars and Chris Pilliod stated that it was more of an "improper alloy mix". PCGS uses both terms.

6 or 1 or half dozen of another.

 

I will have to do that my friend. That Buff was a lucky find. I have been chasing toned buffs for a while now but they tend to be way above my budget. I saw this one and at $2 well lets just say I triped on the way to adding it to my buying pile lol.

 

1924 Peace Dollar for my circulated set. Trying to get them all to look like this. Found in a junk dollar bin at my lcs

 

I do love the ghost-like image of Peace and am thinking of starting a similar set.

 

1969-S Proof Lincoln (PCGS PR68RB). Just got this TrueView photo back a few hours ago from PCGS. It's about as intense a rainbow that I have ever seen on a Proof Lincoln. My iPhone slab shot is at bottom. (This was an eBay Buy-It-Now for $18 + free shipping.)
