Looks like a foil wrapped chocolate treasure coin. I'd eat it!.

Honestly that was my first thought..looks gold like on this end.

 

Not the most spectacular piece in the world, but it's my first Seated Liberty Half ever purchased..
I know the pics aren't wonderful, but all opinions positive and negative are welcome..

 

All ya need to do is get it in focus.
They are beutiful coins!!

 

Looks like nice original color and skin. I like it!

 

I picked this up from Michael Kittle at the last Long Beach show. This is his image, and I hope he doesn't mind me using it.
Its a PCGS MS66

 

Dayum, that is one beautiful looking Merc dime!!!

I don't know WHY I keep visiting this thread. All it makes me want to do is go buy more coins. I'm testing my self control here and I'm FAILING!!!

 

I am failing too. My name is Silverhouse and I am a coin addict. Its been five days since my last purchase. Lol

 

Your doomed. Don't fight it.

 

We all Know the feeling too Well

 

But it's like a car crash, just can't seem to look away....

 

It's definitely an addiction. It never seems to get better.

 

Not even with alcohol......

 

Best dang addiction I've ever had!

 

This political token came along with a large lot of assorted pins and ephemera I purchased..
Just curious what your thoughts are good and bad on the piece.. Modern ? Old? Etc....
I'm still working on the photos with the 6S.. I either need a better lighting source or possibly an Olliclip macro clip on lense .. I just can't seem to get that sharpness of details like you guys all do .
If it has any value then terrific

or unc possibly cleaned[/QUOTE]

this coin looks a lot better in hand. It arrived today. I think the seller tried to enhance the pictures. I'll post pictures I took when I get the chance. I don't see any evidence of a cleaning or being dipped.

 

This is a medal or token which acknowledges the 21st President and Vice President of the United States. The hole at the top tells it was used with a chain when worn. The hole doesn't help any with it's value, in fact holes usually take a way from it. It probably was a give-a-way and is valuable only as a keep sake to it's owner.

The coin club commemorative/token would be most valuable to the club's membership. Some members will try and make a collection of all the tokens produced for their organization. This is probably where any value would exist. This is along the lines of exonumia rather than coin collecting. A very small nitch compared to collecting in general. I would guess the value to be a dollar or two unless you can find something selling on eBay for more. Even if only a few exist, it's demand that dictates it's worth. I can't say either of the pieces are on a large "want list" of collectors.

 

Robec's 42D dime is amazing! (and the photo quality is unsurpassed)

 

Won this at an auction over the weekend. Very intrigued to see it in-hand. I find the descriptions from this particular auction house to be spot on. Here is a partial description from the listing:

"This eggshell-white MS64 example assuredly falls close to the gem level, as the cheek shows essentially no marks, and the flashing strobes of mint luster illuminate the fields."

This will fill a spot in my collection at the grade level I desired. A MS65 jumps in price aproximately 7x. I hope the luster is everything they describe because I might just give it a reconsideration or cross-over chance.
