Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Here was a stellar eBay snipe! The pics weren't very good at all, but I could see enough old toning peaking through, and it was listed at an oddball hour on an oddball day. Very pleased! My new favorite Seated Quarter by far Guess that's not saying much since my others have always just been AG to F+, but...

Very decent looking quarter. Such a great design!

 

And here is my new-ish addition! I already posted it in the "post the rarest coin in your collection" thread, but that was before a slab cleaning. It is the most stunning example of this ultra-key date I have ever seen! COMPLETELY disgusted with my photography, but slabbed proofs with color are my achilles heel. NGC PF-65RB.....I'll include a few of the raw shameful photos for a better idea of how the color can POP!

 

Stunning seated!

Back to the Walkers. Somehow I always seem to gravitate back to these.

 

December 3 if metals are down I will order the set.
Platinum stay down!!☺
I only get 1 birthday pick anymore.

 

It amazes me how lovely the designs of the platinum coins are, but they can't make those designs on regular coinage.

 

Mintage number are always low even when they offered 1/10oz .
Art put into this set has always been great .☺

 

Reverse 22s 63 cac( not real new)
22s 64. It's hard to tell the two apart, besides the scratches on obverse of 63 cac.

 

Old gold is addicting.

 

Sweet coin

 

Four Commemorative dollar capsules, each for melt + 15%.

 

I have a laureate bust of Elagabalus, I didn't have one with the "cuirassed bust". A bit scarcer, but not too much.

Still a nice chunky silver.

I think these are reruns . I can't think I made any buys since last month. I did buy a 1893-s s$1 n55 but have the same in PCGS if anyone is in the market I'll post it next

 

Any opinions on thiscoin ? On first site I passed on it then each time I looked at it again I liked it more. I don't have a Morgan that color . Hopefully it natural ....

 

found this beauty in change

 

Don't you just love it when a NEWP shows up and looks even better in hand than it did in the auction pics ;-)

 

Beautiful 41 D...MS66? CAC? Here's the one I just got yesterday.
