Let's see your newest acquisitions!

I've been assembling a 7070 for quite some time and never considered "upgrading" or "swapping" any of them. My Morgan silver dollar though, always felt a bit flat. I picked this up a few days ago, along with the Lincoln cents a few posts back. Very pleased. Any comments on grade are more than welcome! Thanks for looking.

My 3 auction pickups tonight.

 

Just picked this one up

 

Finally found a reasonably priced 1899 Morgan for my RS. I didn't really see the wonderful toning in the sellers picture but when it arrived I was blown away. I need to send it to pcgs to be reslabbed and pictured. Hopefully it has a chance at a 65.

 

Nice coin. Why do you need to re-slab it? Is it for your registry set at PCGS? If/when you do cross it, let us know the results. We all know that it will cross one grade point lower...(sarcasm)

 

Yeah, I just like pcgs better for some reason when it comes to non modern coins. And I'm not positive but I don't think they would grade it lower. I believe there is some sort of guarantee, though I've yet to do it so idk.

 

My sarcastic remark was intended for those who believe the only answer is a PCGS coin. Anyway, don't want to open up that discussion.

 

Only this could be wrong page for this discussion??

 

Another coin I have wanted for awhile, a coin featuring a funeral pyre. Got a good deal on this one. Also liked the toning.



Antoninus Pius (138 - 161 A.D.)
Struck Under Marcus Aurelius
O: DIVVS ANTONINVS, bare draped bust right.
R: CONSECRATIO, funeral pyre of four tiers with quadriga on top.
Rome Mint, 161 - 180 A.D.
18mm
3.2g
RIC III M. Aurelius 438

 

It kind of looks like a birthday cake...

 

Alot of people think that. Its really this:

Ok, I know the lowly modern Lincoln cents get little respect but it is still nice too have one so new it does not show up in the population report yet. I am also know that as time goes by and more and more are sent in for grading pops will of course continue to rise. I still have a lot of coins with populations in the single digits after 50 plus years. NGC MS69RD 2014 Lincoln Shield Reverse cent. I believe the current NGC population is 3 at MS69RD. Here is the certification # if you would like too see NGC's photo. #3966834-001. I always have too thank the seller for looking out for me. A large portion of the top population coins in my 59-Date circulation Lincoln collection have come from this seller. Thanks Mark. Of course this one will be going out too robecsimages as soon as I can too be photographed.

 

Picked this up today. Love the toning.

 

MS-65 Stone Mountain in an NGC No Line Fattie.

 

I'm with you tho I like the look of pcgs slabs better. To me it's 6 of one half a dozen of the other pcgs or NGC. And I've got about equal numbers of both tho as late I feel NGC more consistent

 

Bought this NGC MS67RD 1946D Lincoln Wheat Ear cent a few weeks back and it was sent into CAC by a fellow collector for me too see if it meet CACs standards. This particular coin did meet their standards and received a green sticker today. Been trying too buy examples I think will meet their standards and them I wait and see. I have had some successes and more failures. Hoping as I learn too even it out some. I hope you enjoy the coin. 1 of only 14 too meet CACs standards

 

1803 O-103 R-3
1803
O-103

R-3 [as are all 4 die marriages]


Obv 1.

Rev: C, Leaf nearly touches base of I.
13 arrows.

This seems to be Prime die state, w/o trace of reverse die crack.

 

1880 S MS64 DPL. It's in an old NGC no line fattie. Couldn't resist the color. Not a monster but nice.

 

Found 3 of these in my change today

 

Actually that Morgan is much nicer than the monster toned coins.
