Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Hi Alan. I have always admired the lion design with a paw on what looks like the 10 commandments. this coin is made of copper. the ruler is Leopold 1 ruled from 1831-1865. this particular date 1837 has a mintage of 12,038,000. seems like a lot , but not to many mint state ones out there. from the PCGS population report there is only mine graded MS-64 and 1 other same date graded MS-65. I always search Ebay for high grades of this type of Belgium coin type. I want to eventually get/buy a mint state denomination set of the 1,2,5, and 10 centimes denominations. I just have the 1,2, 10 to go for ha ha ha.... the 10 is much harder/rarer to find in mint state and when they do come up they start at $500.00-600.00 dollars. I saw 2 come up on Ebay about 10 years ago. they were fantastic but $600.00 each and I was poor then.

spirityoda, Thanks for the info they are just such a beautiful coin, I hope you have luck and find the rest of the set. all the best Alan

 

The Girl Scout is for my grand daughters birthday the half I just bought for no reason

 

thanks Alan. that's the beauty of coin collecting. it can be a lifetime goal. in the meantime there are always many other great coins to buy/study about.

 

I'll compair it with the TDR I have then send it off if it is

 

Comparing your pictures to this one, I'm not seeing it.

 

That tends to be a trend in coin collecting...

 

Someone listed this 1918 Buffalo Nickel as au on the bay. Well, it not au it's an uncirculated Buff and I would guess the grade as ms-63. Because of the seller not being able to grade nor image very well I just scored!!



I down loaded the seller images and fussed with them a bit. These are my images. I won this coin for $49.00 LOLOL. I love this hobby!!....DEX

 

I love how there's no date because of the off-center degree.

 

Nice! Not quite as much with lowball grades, but I have definately made out big time thanks to crummy pics. Well done!

 

It's there big tee, I'll post a picture of the obverse with a arrow to the double ear, nothing is under the chin for a marker

 

This just came in the mail today.
It's got a nice raised line on Jefferson's head running North/South.
Maybe a die scratch?
There's also one coming out of the bottom of his chin that curves towards his neck. It's a lot harder to see in the pic though.

 

2005-P Minnesota Extra Tree Wexlers DDR #61

This one is as Rare as they come, There are no Cross References, or Die Markers, They have a Die Markers now, long Die Crack runs from Washington bust, right though the designer initials. Mr. Wexler is the only one to have seen one of theses :lurker:

 

I'm starting to like the Bust coins too...

 

I saw this Alfred E. Newman 1 Oz round sell for 96.00 about a month ago, well, I managed to get this one for 39.00. Not too bad I suppose. Makes me wish I kept all my Mad Magazines.

 

Yo Dex,

Is this a weak strike, worn die, or what? The lack of detail on the obverse center is so prominent.
I can see the obverse is uncirculated though, thanks to a tip from you.

 

I can clearly see the one in his hair. Although I can't tell if it is a die crack or a scratch/hit. Same with the crack on the reverse after unum.

 

:thumb::thumb::thumb:Nice one Fine-15 or better!!!!

 

I picked up this 1899 Barber Dime today for $7.50 I think I did well even thro it has a high mintage.
