That looks like a nice cast counterfeit. I think you need to sell it right away. I'll take it off your hands....

 

So I picked up a few coins and now I would like to share and ask how much you would pay for any of these? Thanks for the input.

1875-S Twenty Cent
I got this one for $51. These are my images sorry they are not that great. Tell me if you think I overpaid.
1987-S Constitution Commem
Before I say how much I paid for this I would like to know how much you would pay.

 

Why would I? I'm just trying to help out a friend. If you don't like it then don't like the FB page. easy as that! [/quote]

Actually, its a violation of forum rules. Take it from me, I posted two SEPARATE want ads and boy oh boy did I hear about It

 

I see a lot of "dogs" posted here on ct but their usually problem coins

 

Since my last coin posted was his father, Macrinus,I needed his son, Diadumenian. Picked this up for $10, fairly common for him. I liked the portrait & patina so thats why it came home.

Just Arrived

 

Love the constitution commems. I just had to part with my gold one

 

I've been on a coin buying hiatus for the last few weeks. Settling some debts and selling some coins.

Anyway, prior to my decision to halt coins for a moment I had a heritage auction I was bidding in. This is my first heritage experience and when I woke up this morning I had an email stating that I won the coin I was after.

Here's a little peak.







Can't wait to see her in hand. 1762 and in so called mint state condition. Hopefully she's a looker in hand. I didn't know anything about the coin prior to buying it (still know very little) but such a lovely design couldn't be ignored.

 

Great stuff guys!

 

I

I don't know anything about it either being a us collector only but it is a pretty coin I know what it's like to be on hiatus I am too haven't bought a coin in over a month due to low funds

 

Monday, I went to my favorite pawn shop (where, in Aug 2013, I bought a complete 16-36 WLH collection from which I made 70% profit flipping it) to see what they had.

They had a complete Buffalo set with all the keys and semi-keys for only $199. I quickly looked over the main keys to get a sense of condition. They were acceptable, so I bought it. I'm a Buffalo collector, and I'd like to keep some of the keys (in particular the 13-S Ty2, 14-D and 14-S) The 13-S Ty2 is AG/G, so not that important to keep, but the 14-D and 14-S are VF and I'd like to hold onto these at a minimum. I'm hoping I get a good return on selling these.

Here are pictures of the highlights from the set (I didn't photograph the 26-S, because it's AG at best and looks to have been acid treated):

 

Hit the score the past few days. I met a lady who had a few coins she wanted to go search and sell. Ended up finding a few nicer ones, and ended up keeping some of the large cents for my -$20 Large Cent Collection.
Well, today, I went to my LCS and they sold me a bunch of cull/worn large cents.
Ended up picking each one at a good price.....which was cheap.
I also ended up with a 1798, which is my oldest US cent.
Also I got a great....well its not that great, but a coin I have waiting a while to find.
1914-D Lincoln Cent for my Wheat Collection. Its got issues, but its a 1914-d, and for what it cost me, I could not pass it up.
I am super happy and glad I got the coins I did. It leaves me some room for paying a bit more when I end up finding an 1804 Large Cent and 09-s v.d.b.

 

picked up a few toners and key dates and conditionally rare ones recently.

 

couple more..

 

Nice toners. I think your definition of "a few" and "a couple" needs to be modified...lmao. Looks like you acquired a small hoard!

 

One thing I love viewing is proof coins. If its not a nice cent, show me an awesome proof coin......and the toning is easy on the eyes.

 

For some reason I bought a coin that wasn't toned, or a nickel. Momentarily lapse of reason.

 

Well then sell it to me for what you payed......if you got a good deal lol.
