Message:: [QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3217933, member: 71723"]Well, I snagged lot #4, the 1851 half cent; #11, the 1915 Red BU Lincoln; and #33, the 1865 BU+ (with a lot of red) 2c for my 7070. The 1851 is also for my 7070. The 1915 is a set upgrade. My previous 1915 was a dog. (1915 is the "key" coin of the Philly-only set.) Pics to follow, tonight. I have pics of the guys examining lots, too. When I left Harrisburg for York on Saturday, there was NO light in the sky. LONG day. All prices below are for hammer price (add 10%):1851 half cent - $1001915 cent - $571865 2 cent - $55 Bargains galore, but oddly not so much on my targeted coins. I ended up as backup bidder on so much stuff. Told you I was cheap. Note: my 7070 set rule is that ALL coins must be better than the "average bear" for the type. Quite a few are slab breakouts. And yes, they are in a literal 7070 Dansco, with pages added by me for modern new types, and eventually, gold. Filling holes is gonna get pricey real soon here. Only the 3c silver, and a few commem halves are reasonable in what's left open. I want one modern clad commem, one modern silver commem (Washington or Bill of Rights), one from the 1930's commem boom (thinking a San Diego), and one from either the 20's, 40's, or 50's in those four slots in the album. I'm also thinking the extra pages need a "flat" low-relief Kennedy and a higher-relief one, either early or recent, maybe both.[/QUOTE]
