<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1145555, member: 13650&quot;]Well, today I unexpectedly ended up bringing home four different types of metals.&nbsp;&nbsp; First off, everybody thought these were pretty interesting.&nbsp;&nbsp; These are 1 oz. .999 copper rounds that were the best I&#039;ve seen.&nbsp; I probably should have gotten more.&nbsp; They were going for $5 a piece. EDIT: They&#039;re going a lot cheaper on ebay so I&#039;m glad I didn&#039;t buy more!&nbsp; Geez.&nbsp; Blew it on these.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f203/vessxpress1/coinalbum3/copper.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Then I picked up a couple for my US type set.&nbsp; The 1883 No cent is not as high quality as I really wanted but it was one of the best I found at a very reasonable cost.&nbsp; Would like one with luster to it but this will fill the spot for now.&nbsp; &nbsp; The Barber dime is just a 1914 AU range, I&#039;d say.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f203/vessxpress1/coinalbum3/Vnick.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Lastly, I went down there for a $5 gold piece.&nbsp; Didn&#039;t really have anything specific in mind.&nbsp; Then I ran across this 1881-S in an old PCGS slab graded MS-60.&nbsp; The guy called it a rare 1881-S over O.&nbsp; &nbsp; This attribute does not show up on the label (of course)&nbsp; in the red book or on NGCs price guide so I don&#039;t know if he&#039;s making it up or not.&nbsp; But it definitely looks like an &#039;O&#039; behind the S to me.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve included a pic of it here.&nbsp; See what you guys think.&nbsp; I really have a thing for overdates and mintmarks.&nbsp;&nbsp; This one has great luster and really no blemishes with very limited contact marks.&nbsp; I believe it could upgrade if re-submitted today.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f203/vessxpress1/coinalbum3/5-combined.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I forgot to take a pic of the label.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Here&#039;s the MM:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f203/vessxpress1/coinalbum3/croppedMM.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
