Nice dates!

 

Always liked the "wildman" obverse on these. Finally got one. Plus the toning was the cherry on top.

 

Welcome to the forum

 

Here's an 1832 CBH I picked up on Ebay. Not sure about the Overton. It doesn't have a lot of reverse detail for a VF 20 but the surfaces look nice so I'm wondering if PCGS bumped it up.

 

Cost for maybe a VF 25 if lucky 30 could be more than you could sell it for But Overton # is could change that to.

 

I got this 1912 D NGC XF Details. I got a good price for an XF. They gave it a "Details" designation because of the scratch across the neck. I would think that would be a small reason for a Details grade.

 

I agree with you. It looks more like it was struck with something on Obverse die like a piece of wire or metal.

 

Here's two of mine...a continuing example of a 'budget' half, but nice grade for my replacement 'Type Collection'...and a 'colonial' 1 cent that I recently bought...

I wish I could afford even higher grades, but my budget-- and even time itself---seem to be an ever constant and annoying issue LOL

 

Very nice selection and they are beautiful coins.

 

Proof silver quarters have arrived! My Favs........

 

Here's a pretty scarce little bird.



Why? You might ask.

Because there were only 998 minted across the whole series/type over a 20 year period.



I enjoy mexican coinage and love images of Cuauhtemoc

I don't venture into moderns often, but when I do, these are the type of coins I am looking to acquire.

 

Yes, I like those too!

 

I really like the posts and coins listed.....I think high grade and even proof issues are the best way to go for these types...Lots of eye appeal and added value due to the ever declining population of higher graded coins..and who can't love that image of Cuauhtemoc!!

Great posts guys!!!

 

Another new addition, this time more gold. This makes my third modern gold in my collection. Helps to be dry spell buying ancients !

Russia 5 Roubles

 

Czar Nicholas, I presume...and a great looking coin!!

 

Interesting and cool looking coin.

 

Traded with a friend for IHC and picked up a 1875. Really warn but had fun trading.
Trading is a great way to pick up coins you need and it's cool seeing other collections and getting rid of duplicates. Have a couple cold ones and have fun.

 

Yeah, I hope to trade a few in the near future...several moderns, but mostly numerous 'Ancients'.
