Let's see your newest acquisitions!

few more grabs
Dansco for the merc, starting a short date Jefferson that I'm slowly going through. Bought the 66 star sight unseen, was hoping for color, but the golden tone is nice and the luster is a killer.

A 66 * Jefferson nickel. That is interesting.

 

44d. WOW!!

 

Back to my SLQ set.

 

And it has the typical 44 D die crack through the scalp.

 

I had to run right over to post this one. I really feel fortunate to have won this outstanding coin

 

Today my friends it is official. I have totally gone nuts and out of control. Buying this coin on the fly without ever considering it and making a 5 second decision was a blast. Me the only bidder. Trust me I'm not bragging but crying inside for what could I have bought for $105 . Why is it when you need the house to bid they never do

 

So you bought it for $105?

 

That's one of the rarest Morgans there is. Congrats Hugh!

 

Not bad for a ten spot.

 

No key dates that I'm aware of yet and the oldest dime (1877) is paper thin but finding them creates numismatic value for me! Picked up a buffalo nickel with a strong date 1936 (rare for me), two barbers, four merc's, and six rosie's plus a 1943 war nickel.

Besides a couple of pockets full of clad and some wheaties, this represents a solid three days of dirt fishing. Unless I find a key date, I probably could have purchased them all for less than the cost of gas but where's the fun in that?

 

Picked this up on the bay for a little over melt. An interesting tie clip haha. Sellers photos
