If you purchased any gold at the ANA, pre-ANA, ANA auction, non-ANA August coin show, or any dirty gold coins purchased in the month of August, this is the place to post them.

You are truly having fun, aren't you RYK?
Wonderful coins.....especially your 1802/1!!
I enjoy your taste in gold.....not so much in NFL teams!!!
Won't 9/11 have some serious mixed emotions for Steelers/Ravens/et al NFL fans!!!

Me too!

Yes, I am listening to David Hall's advice and am having fun with my coins.
I have no favorite in the group...I like them all for different reasons. The 1802/1 $5 was The Big Purchase of the show, but the size of the check is not necessarily proportional to the magnitude of enjoyment. In fact, in some ways, the more expensive coins make me nervous.
I am looking forward to 9/11...but it does not sound right to say so. Ben R owns the Ravens!

I am most intrigued with the 1802/1, since early gold is an untapped area for me. I look forward to reading about that variety in my copy of the Harry Bass Museum Sylloge.
As to my recent Dirty Gold purchase (1849-D quarter eagle, in a VF35 PCGS rattler), to date I only have a poor photo taken with my iPhone camera. I plan to ask Todd to shoot it at the earliest opportunity. In the meantime, I will e-mail you the iPhone photo.
I don't know if this is a known variety - the "lump" above the first "A" in "AMERICA" is a rim cud, not a ding.
1844-C $5
Maybe these are not "dirty" enough, but I loved these collector kind of coins. I never owned a Taxay coin before. That was awesome to me as well. Of course, adding another Norweb provenance coin never gets tiring to me!
Lot #9592. 1883-S Liberty Eagle $10. AU-53 (PCGS). Paid $1093
Description by S-B: Light reflectivity over well struck surfaces. Some light abrasion but no major marks to negate this coin's excellent eye appeal. A difficult date with only 38,000 coins struck for general circulation and not offered that often, even in the auction venue.
From Stack's Americana sale of January 2007, lot 5262. Lot tag included. Earlier from Bowers and Merena's sale of the Norweb Collection, March 1988, Lot 2236.
1897 Liberty Half Eagle $5. AU-58 (PCGS). Paid $489.
Description by S-B: Frosty honey gold with lively rose highlights.
From the Howard Collection. Purchased privately from Don Taxy (sic = should be Taxay) in the 1970s. Accompanied by a tattered paper "receipt" written on an envelope from The Public National Bank and Trust Company of New York.
<< <i>1799 $10.

Yes.
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Original skin high grade gold is close enough. Nice coins!
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.

The 1844-O Half does look like a pattern at first look. While the 1802/1 is seriously cool, there is just something special about the look of that three dollar piece...
Thanks for sharing!
