Let's see your newest acquisitions!

After comparing the pictures with about 30 of my '64-D's, it seems to me that the Type C has better defined tail feathers and leaves, with clear points on the leaf tips and one leaf bordering on the far right tail feather, while the eagle's right claw (left side of the coin) is less clearly defined. By those criteria, none of my '64-D's matched the coin in the pictures.

Tailfeather are defined there lines in them.a very few 64-D are the only silver quarter that has the C Rev
1965 they redesigned tailfeather

 

I picked up this dime on the bay last night ,I like the 50's dimes in high grade cameo's
I think they are rare and were hard to make and I like that
I also colect franklins but not in cameo, because they cost way to much

I'm liking that '35

 

Nothing special, but it's hard for me to pass up an MS65 and up anything for $7.00

 

I know I haven't posted this one not exactly new but had Todd at BluCC photograph it.

 

Nice Half Dime

 

Koinjester;
Your Half Dime is beautifully toned and eye appeal galore!

 

Nice pick up!! Don't crack that baby though, submit for regrade it you feel a 64. I have to many people using PL/DMPL designations on crack outs, to risky even if you think it is a lock DMPL.

 

I'm with you on that blu62. I won't be cracking it out anytime soon, it's a decent coin whatever the slab says. Maybe in ten years when todays 3's are gradeflated to 4's. I'm just saying that for the money I plan on building a 20 coin box of these in MS63 and that box will be something to behold without having 64 and 65 money tied up in it.

 

I just got these images back from PCGS TrueView Photographic Service, where the coins are cracked out of the slab and photographed raw. The color and detail one can capture without having the slab plastic in the way is truly great. These two coins I consider visual sisters, the toning color is so similar.

On the Walker (PCGS MS66), a coin I bought off eBay in June, I have never seen a better toned example. I love the way the red and gold toning help accentuate the coins detail. It's extremely rare to find such attractive toning covering 100% of both sides.

On the Franklin (PCGS MS65 FBL), a mid-July eBay pickup, 1959 is an especially tough date to find toned since that was the first year after the U.S.Mint got rid of the cardboard holders for Mint Sets, which had provided a great toning catalyst for decades. I think this particular Franklin is an especially nice end-of-roll toner evidenced by the one-sided color and the sharp linear edges of toning colors on parts of the coin. Note the lighter-colored gold area with sharp well defined linear borders that starts on either side of the T in LIBERTY, and the area behind Franklin's head where another sharp linear border appears, and finally the green line above the date. Usually E.O.R. toners are blotchier looking than this superb example.

Both of these coins had substantial toning premiums, the Walker at 2.7x, and the Franklin at 2.2x -- prices I was more than happy to pay given their tremendous eye appeal. I have yet to see their equal. The population of Walkers and Franklins with toning this attractive is extremely low.

 

Went to the LCS today for some small note currency sheets.

I swear, this just followed me home...

Here are a couple I got off the bay. The 25- was the main reason I bought the lot. I don't think it is AT, but it probably will not grade. The 56-D is interesting, but I am pretty sure someone did something to it. Still it has lots of luster and that is not shine.

 

Very interesting colors on those Lincolns, RLM. Are you going to send them in for grading?

 

I seriously doubt anyone would touch the 56-D. The 25- would be doubtful, but even if the did, it would be lucky yo get a 64. In other words, a $30 to $40 coin. That just does not balance too well

 

Funny, my computer at work is not letting me see the whole page at once and I knew this was your post rlm before I saw your avitar. Nice pickups!

 

I picked up these a few days ago

 

The -56 cent looks AT to me, the rim is still red, but the whole obverse and reverse are blue and purple, colors that do not begin the toning process.

 

Because the 25- is a woody, maybe?
