Let's see your newest acquisitions!

I picked this up at the Florida F.U.N. Convention. Just took my own pictures tonight. The coin has some areas of concern but they are a tough find with good detail. The eye appeal is really nice.

Hit the LCS this afternoon and picked up a few coins for the collection.

And two Kennedy Halves.
The 84 D has a ridiculously mirrored reverse and the 89 has PL surfaces on both obv and rev.
Can't say no for $3 each!

 

My last new acquisition is from my grandmother.
I went out to visit her this past weekend for the first time in over a year. Last time I was there I told her I collect coins and she said she had some and would show me them while I was there. She never got around to it and we both forgot. So this last time I was there I remembered about the coins and asked if I could see them.
I was expecting just a lot of old silver coins she stuck away when the US changed over in 1965. However, they were mostly clad Ikes and Kennedys with a few common date circulated wheats. She did have one common date XF Morgan, a VF 43 Walker, and a 40% Kennedy.
She said I could take anything I wanted but I felt bad taking the only silver she had in there. So I grabbed this 89 Kennedy which for some reason caught my eye.

 

Nice first
1957 Washington B rev I am not sure what one Rev this one is but could be also a DDR
*/It could be the photo but I would like to put under a lop. It has the marking of of one or photo shades make it look like one.

 

I got a 1959-D half dollar that I got from a co-worker.

 

I had a Domna Antoninianus but I ended up unloading it in a trade a month ago. So I needed a new one and found this one at Long Beach on thursday, decent price too.
