1932-S AU 55

 

Just arrived... sorry for the lousy pics - the coin is not as dark as it appears here. I like the surfaces a lot, they seem to be very original...

 

Lovely.........

 

Lovely too.........

 

Thanks. EBay scanner pics were dull and lifeless but the NGC pics told a different tale, so I pulled the trigger. I was pleasantly surprised.

 

Snatched this one up with some of my CWT sale proceeds... NGC Fine Details, but the rare 10-T pairing. Obverse 10 is the "1 Over Horizontal 1" variety. The slab is incorrectly attributed as a standard 4 Cinqfoils obverse, but my inspection, and that of the seller, and that of Heritage when it last sold in 2010 all concur that it is in fact the die sink error. Crust, but it was part of the W. Phillip Keller Collection, bought in 1962 from Bob Vlack.

 

Added this to my LC collection. The wood grain look stood out to me.

 

PCGS MS67. I'm so thankful to Robec for selling it to me, it's no doubt my favourite coin

 

Seller's pictures. Hasn't arrived yet...

Not my usual milieu, but loved the look of this Washington. Low pop--only 26.

 

Picked these up at auction Saturday. Didn't buy much but pulled the the trigger on these four sold together as a set.

 

1889 Morgan higher mintage, but not bad in MS 65. You can pretend there is a CC on the reverse if u want ?

 

@HAB 28 peace$, very nice Morgan! Lovely in fact.

 

I wish all my Morgan 65s looked ike that!

 

Thanks! I'm pleasantly surprised myself. It's by far my best looking ms 65 Morgan.

 

I couldn't find any toners on the Bay recently, so I spontaneously purchased this baby... to be honest I didn't even exactly know what it was... BUT it turns out Lewis Feuchtwanger was born in Germany and invented the alloy "argentan" (aka German Silver) for a hard time token issued in the city of NY during times of economic recession.

See? I just bought it to learn about history ;-)

You read my mind lol.... I saw the pics and WAS pretending I saw a CC then thought I should make a joke about it. Then I read what you wrote. Great minds...
