My newest addition was not bought but dug last week while digging a civil war camp in lower South Carolina...a very nice 1794 LC.

 

Great rare gold, Hugh and congrats on digging that copper, Alan!

 

Dang! Glad I can't afford to buy gold!

 

The seller photos don't do this 1921 D Morgan justice. It's very nice in hand. The toning is quite pleasing actually. Keep in mind the scratches are on the capsule. I'll post a pic of it out of the capsule when i get more time.

 

Newest walker. This one just drips luster

 

Trime for my 7070

 

Great Trime!

Here is a upgrade I got at ANA to a old slot filler I had of a very scarce coin of a Roman empress that didn't last very long due to a nut job husband.

Looking at her eyes I think she might have been the nut job Great coin as always. Love that reverse.

 

That is a cool find.

 

I'll take your losses any day, Hugh.

 

Once again, Mat, I don't collect ancients but I enjoy looking at your coins and the descriptions.

 

lets try and stay on topic, please

 

Many can be had, cheap

 

Looks familiar Stiel/. HA ha

 

Thanks !

 

She was for marrying the guy.

Thanks

Another great coin, Huge. I parted with several u.s. coins but kept my seated dollar in VF range.

 

Please forgive me but this is the first time I've found something older and worth over $5. I found 40 of these unopened and signed in Al Hirts old desk in a drawer I bought a while back in the French Quarter. If I hold for 40 years they could pay for the desk .
I love Jazz.
