<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 17790252, member: 71642&quot;]Hey that was the one I sold.&nbsp; I thought long and hard about parting with it, but I was selling the gold one and decided to make a clean break.&nbsp; A real favorite for me, but trying to focus a bit more.&nbsp; Pretty sure one or two of the ones I sold came from [USER=246]@gmarguli[/USER] (if not specifically, the type--I sold my Albanians too and I know I&#039;ve bought a few of the minors from him over the years).&nbsp; I need to remember to hop over to NGC and delete all those coins.&nbsp; Maybe this weekend.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1536230[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for my NEWPS, well I don&#039;t have a good photos of a couple--defeated me with their tricksiness, and I&#039;ve been under the weather so not in the mood to fight with the camera.&nbsp; A couple had a TrueViews so I&#039;ll post them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1536231[/ATTACH] </p><p>From CRO at NYINC.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t been able to get a good shot--the TV is a bit too much of a glamour shot, mine makes it look dull and lifeless.&nbsp; Reality is a nice reflective surface with pretty color.&nbsp; It&#039;s a nice counterpoint to my nearly white one of the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also bought a lovely frosty (dare I say prooflike though it&#039;s not stated on the old holder label) 20 sen from [USER=25782]@bidask[/USER].&nbsp; Another repeat date but worth it for the cool look.&nbsp; Working on photos there too.&nbsp; And no Trueview--too old in the slab.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A nice addition to my mother/baby themed medals-- I haven&#039;t done more than a phone photo of the obverse with:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1536244[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And finally, not EXACTLY a NYINC purchase.&nbsp; I spotted this while bidding on a different one at Heritage.&nbsp; The Heritage one was nice and in a 62 slab.&nbsp; But I liked the look of this 63 better though the grades are like splitting hairs here.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Fortunately I was outbid at Heritage and promptly bought this from a seller I like--so though timing-wise and budget-wise it was part of NYINC, it was really just a private buy.&nbsp; And nice because the seller just got back from Japan with a new pre-Meiji coin for me that I can&#039;t wait to get.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I like this one because well, it&#039;s nice and has some nice deeper orange remaining.&nbsp; It&#039;s an era type I don&#039;t have.&nbsp; And my shots aren&#039;t quite as nice as the TrueView but at least are respectable!&nbsp; Japan Tenpo era 2 shu (1832-1858).&nbsp; Super common, but this one is just nice.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1536242[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1536243[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And something I don&#039;t usually collect are the Japanese Occupation issues.&nbsp; It&#039;s a fascinating design and again, overpaid but for a tin coin in a 62 slab, it had an uncommonly good look. Missing the oxidation often seen.&nbsp; Kind of like [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] calls CircCam©</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1536245[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
