Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Good looking 1951-D! Me likey. Good bell lines are relatively common for the date/mm, but they're tough to find with attractive toning. I agree with you that it looks really clean for a 65.

Got this one the other day. Sellers photos.

 

Those letters are the Cyrillic equivalents of SPB or St Petersburg. Nice coin!

Nice looking Commemorative proof coin I received. Steve

 

Just back from ANACS....the special they had for grading 2 coins for almost free just had to pay shipping

 

Hi, about a year ago I purchased a 1926 50 cent US Sesquicentennial. Very cool coin. Steve

 

It's one of my favorite coins

 

Nice pick up

 

I got these in the mail today. First, a 1945 silver Washington quarter and a 1969-S proof quarter. The 1969 is UNC but I don't know what the 1945 would grade at (XF-AU?):




Next, a 1909 Canadian large cent (I didn't know they made large cents for this long until I found this one on ebay):

 

That's awfully nice for an AU. What kept it from being an MS 60?

 

I am a big fan of the large cent, cool coins. Steve

 

It must have been judged to have a slight rub somewhere. Without the rub, I think it could actually go 64. The luster isn't quite a 65, but the other elements certainly align with a 64 IMO.

 

I picked this up for my Morgan set. I was a little leery of the grade when viewing the photos, as it doesn't appear to have a lot of luster. I got the coin in hand last night. It has a nice, but not booming, cartwheel luster. There is some toning on the obverse rim area from 9-2 o'clock. The reverse has light rose toning, with some dark blue rim toning at 6 o'clock. In this instance, I relied on the CAC sticker as the reason to bid. Since they had seen the coin, I was comfortable it would have the necessary elements to meet the grade. I'm very happy I bought this coin.

These scans don't properly represent how nice this coin actuall is when viewing it in hand.

 

I received this last night and am really pleased. As you rock the slab, there's a lot of cart wheel luster and it also just radiates around the coin. The head design elements are well defined. The rivets on the shield are all there and the emblem is also fully defined. I know this particular year and mint typically have a strong strike and this is a perfect example of it. A great edition to my Type Set.

 

I like large cents too. I have a feeling this is going to be one of my favorite Canadian coins in my collection.

 

I love your large Canadian cent. It's beautiful.

 

Thanks! The price was right too (under $3 shipped). If this is the going rate I might have to buy a few more.

 

Picked up a couple toners I liked the look of.
