Post your $50 to $100 coin purchase

I'm not really into silver, but that's what I'd call cameo on a coin not produced specifically for that effect like moderns.

This is $76 minus $15 in eBay Bucks I needed to use up. the uneven wear makes it difficult to grade with half the coin being 0 and half being F12. But its a 96 for less than $100. I've seen so many minor clips, I don't think it adds value at this point.

 

$89.38

 

$34
PCGS MS-63

 

$66

 

This coin was $96, so that fits in the range. This is a very recent, last week, purchase to build a mint state coin set for 1938. This 1938P Mercury dime is graded MS66 FB by NGC. Only the two quarters to go.

This was part of a mixed lot of coins I just purchased but I would say it was “priced” in the $50-100 range. Slabbed MS-63 examples have sold in the $300-375 range. This would, in my opinion, grade MS if not for the obverse rim ding and the reverse gouge. Still a really cool so-called dollar.

 

RRRRRRR

 

It's a very nice medallion but the designer sure didn't know how to write 1492 in Roman Numerals. lol

 

Was this minted in 1842-1843? Perhaps a 400th anniversary coin?

 

The obverse roman numerals read 1492 (MCCCCXCII) while the reverse read 1892 (MDCCCXCII) and 1893 (MDCCCXCIII) which were the years of the 400th anniversary celebration exposition (hence the two years of the commemorative half dollar).

 

she's a beauty..and under 100??? darn

 

messed up. Can't delete.

 

This was $63.95. it's an eBay purchase that was relisted at least once. I tried to get it under $50 but the seller wouldn't budge. I decided not to sweat $15.



It's a common S-213, fairly early Die State. Detail up to XF in places and no corrosion. But severely damaged. I sort of specialize in these misfits.
