1913 Canada Fifty Cent

 

Seller's images of my latest acquisition:





This is #13 of 42 for the date set. We'll see in a week or two what it looks like under my own lens.

 

beautiful color.

 

It's kicking my butt under the lens. Too damn much luster.

 

1918 -- 25 cents:

 

Wish I could remember when/where I got this.

Here's one Dave and I went back and forth on today. I liked it....he came to me and asked if I was going to buy it???? I said if you wanted it go for it... then offered to buy it for him as I knew the dealer, and guessed he give me a brake. Dave said well.... I will pass don't want to spend that much. So I asked the dealer for my price.. that was $50 less then marked! So I pulled the trigger. Jaw Drop

@Seattlite86 one of Keith's coins

Had to tag you heavy..... just to let you know the deal maker did it again.

 

Your timing is flawless; just fired up the phone upon being served my first brew.

She photographs quite nicely.

Watch this space for three of my own acquisitions at the show.

 

Nice walking the floor with you today....This Fall we will do a rerun of last year's Gettysburg trip.

 

You bet.

 

I got this one and several others out of stuff my Grandparents had.
I dearly LOVE the reverse!

Baltimore show pickups. First, a clean but circulated 1876H, purchased at a fair price from a dealer I wished to swing some business to. Canadian Large Cents tone much darker, as a general rule, than US IHC's or Lincolns, and I wanted one of that color in-hand to study. For those unfamiliar, the missing serifs on the obverse are normal for the issue.





Next, what I'd characterize as a "low-mid AU" 1910, chosen for the color. The same dealer had a couple other coins I wanted, and one tends to get a better discount when buying more than one coin. Pro tip: if the dealer isn't willing to discount for cash, move on. I've yet to buy a coin at a show at the marked price.





Finally, one of the other coins I wanted from that same dealer, a 1916. In-hand, I'm undecided whether His Majesty performed some slight service of commerce to the Dominion; I'm going to go based on the assumption that's true if only because of the slight reduction in luster. No biggie; I didn't pay Mint State money for it anyway.





There is another coin from that purchase to be presented, but I'm going to leave that one to the camera of the person for whom it was purchased.

Pro tip #2 Take Paddy with you......he makes offers that they can't refuse.....or else!

 

I was lucky enough to see these in hand....all nice finds!

 

The 1876 came from the guy you got yours from. I'm happy you got it; the New Brunswick was enough for me and I really don't have enough money to be constantly playing out of my scope anyway.

 

You know Dave another reason I like these Canadian Lg. Cent they have some nice varieties .

I believe that Keith does the Gettysburg show also....maybe some new finds from him come fall.

 

Just wow. (I'm late to the party)
