1970s

dallasactuary — Sun, 31 May 2026 22:28:08 +0000

Here are my 1972 cards. I've split them into singles (the only one I have or the best one I have if I have more than one), and doubles (which in a few cases might actually be triples or quadruples - but mostly just one of each). The singles are mostly EX-MT, with some better and some worse, but in either case not a lot better or a lot worse; I think the vast majority are EX to NM. Because the singles group includes my best example, the average quality of the singles group is higher than the doubles group - EXMT to NM for the singles, EX to EX-MT for the doubles.

The doubles group is virtually all from the first three series, a small group from series 4, and none at all from the last two series (semi-high's and high numbers).

The singles group has most of the first 3 series, a fair amount of series 4, and just a few from the last 2 series.

Here are the pictures I took, but feel free to ask for more if you'd like.
.
First, just a sample of the doubles. I plucked handful of cards out of the center of the box and I think these fairly represent the quality of the entire doubles group:
.

.
Next, a picture of the entire doubles group in a box to show they stack nicely and there is minimal edge or corner wear.
.

.
Next, a picture of the entire singles group. The ones that didn't fit in the box are shown on the box.
.

.
Next, a picture of the singles cards from the last two series (15 from series 5 including a nice Brooks Robinson, and three high numbers (which are about EX condition).
.

.
Finally, a picture of the star and/or rookie cards from the singles group. They are all in nice shape, but as you can see there aren't a lot of them (I sold most of them off years ago).
.

.
And I was writing my description of the star cards, my old brain remembered another small cache of star cards I had stored somewhere else. This last group is in very nice shape, near mint or better, and since it includes some really big stars I'm glad I remembered where to find them.
.

.
You'll notice there isn't a picture of the star cards in the doubles group. There are a few but not worth photographing. Just assume there are none and you'll get a few mildly pleasant surprises.
.
In total, there are 435 (or so, don't be mad if I'm off a few) singles and 300 (or so) doubles).

Asking price is $550.

LordM US coins, February 2026

lordmarcovan — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 10:54:22 +0000

Here's a quick image drop of my US coins as of early February, 2026.

I am an eclectic collector and do a little bit of everything: Ancient, Medieval, World, and US. As such, this is only the United States portion of my collection (excluding my holed coin collection and metal detector finds). It is presently far from complete as a type set, but I still think it is a pretty good sampling.

Now that the gold portion of it is essentially complete (as far as I'm going to be able to go, anyway), I'll be turning back to focus more on the minor denominations that I lack to make this a proper type set.

Here are the four main categories of my (certified) primary collection:
Ancient & Medieval Coins (to 1600 AD)
The Twelve Caesars of Rome
World Coins (1601-present)
United States Coins

Here we go. The coins are listed chronologically, by date. I know this display style looks a bit wonky to those of you who are more accustomed to seeing US coins sorted by denomination and type. I use the chronological sorting in my other non-US categories, so I use it here, too, for consistency across my entire collection. I'm just used to displaying them that way. Maybe when this is more complete as a type set, I'll display them in the more traditional "denomination & type" order.

Thanks for looking! I hope to hear what some of your favorites are.

Silver dollar lot

lordmarcovan — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 21:16:07 +0000

This 18-piece silver dollar lot just kinda “fell into my lap” over the weekend. Rather than immediately send them to my dealer friend, I thought I’d offer them here.

Best offer received by 12:01 AM Eastern time on Wednesday morning, March 25, gets the whole lot. Free Priority Mail shipping, fully insured with tracking to US addresses.

Coins are XF to UNC, with most in the AU range. The two 1921 Morgans and the two Peace dollars look UNC to me and are in snap-lock plastic holders. The rest are in fresh archival quality flips - I removed them from the ratty old holders I received them in.

I’m completely ignorant about VAM varieties so these are unsearched in that regard.

As of this typing (5:00 PM, 3/23), melt on APMEX is $54.09 each, so a little over $973 total. I’ll start the bidding below melt, at $850.

I’ll try to come back here as often as I can to update the OP of this thread with the highest current bid amount received, so check back periodically for that information.

Current high bid: $850 (no bids received yet)

LordM World coins (1601-present), February 2026

lordmarcovan — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 12:22:22 +0000

Here's a quick image drop of my World coin collection as of early February, 2026.

I am an eclectic collector and do a little bit of everything: Ancient, Medieval, World, and US. As such, this is only the World Coins (1601-present) portion of my collection. The earlier (Ancient & Medieval) and the United States coins have their own categories.

Here are the four main categories of my (certified) primary collection:
Ancient & Medieval Coins (to 1600 AD)
The Twelve Caesars of Rome
World Coins (1601-present)
United States Coins

My holed coin collection and my old metal detector finds album are currently not imaged.

One challenge that I have is that my Ancients & World coins compete with the US side for my limited budget. (There are so many nice coins and so few dollars to spend on them, right?) But I have fun being a "jack of all trades" and will continue walking that path. Maybe if I have the energy and time, I'll do similar image drops of all my other collections, too, if anybody wants to see that.

Here we go. The coins are listed chronologically, by date.

Thanks for looking! I hope to hear what some of your favorites are.

LordM 12 Caesars, February 2026

lordmarcovan — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 12:06:43 +0000

Here's a quick image drop of my Roman "Twelve Caesars" collection as of early February, 2026.

I am an eclectic collector and do a little bit of everything: Ancient, Medieval, World, and US. As such, this is only the Roman Twelve Caesars portion of my collection (excluding the other Ancients, which have their own category).

Unlike the other collections I'm posting, this one is complete. Maybe I will work on upgrading it later, but most of my attention is now focused on the other categories of my collection.

Here are the four main categories of my (certified) primary collection:
Ancient & Medieval Coins (to 1600 AD)
The Twelve Caesars of Rome
World Coins (1601-present)
United States Coins

Maybe if I have the energy and time, I'll do similar image drops of all my other collections, too, if anybody wants to see that.

My sister made a little video of me presenting this collection to my friend Jeff Brandenburg. Since that was a live conversation done without notes, there are minor errors in it- I misspoke in a few places.

LordM gold type set

lordmarcovan — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 12:25:58 +0000

Well, I can now proudly proclaim myself mostly done with my gold type set. I probably do not need to tell you what a challenge- in fact, what a near impossibility- it would have been to complete this set on my modest earnings as a low-ranking hotel clerk. In fact, had it not been for some inheritance in early 2022, I never would have been able to acquire most of these coins. Prior to 2022, I couldn't even afford the melt value of any US gold coin larger than a quarter-eagle! After 2022, and after paying off my debts with the inheritance money, I decided to put most of what was left into my coin collection. Maybe coins are not the smartest "investment" vehicle, but the enjoyment I get from owning them makes up for that. Not all of the dividends of this investment are tangible and monetary- some are more intellectual.

This is only a basic design type set of the post-1834 gold coins. I did not bother myself with the subtypes (No Motto, With Motto, etc.) I did add an additional pair of classic gold commemoratives- because I could.

As of this posting (February 2026), I've got everything in Mint State except for the Type 1 and Type 2 gold dollars (which are both AU58), and the Classic Heads and $3 (which are XF40, XF40, and AU58, respectively). I might try to upgrade those gold dollars to MS examples, but I'm not so sure I feel the need to upgrade the Classic Heads or the $3.

Since I've pretty much spent up all the "mad money" from my inheritance now (though I did save some in the bank for a rainy day), I'm back to having only my regular salary to shop with, so there won't likely be any more big gold purchases unless I sell something else. It is now time to turn back and focus on the minor denominations for my US type coins, though I remain an avid Ancient & World collector foremost, so my budget and attention are divided amongst the different categories of my very eclectic collection.

Since I bought most of these coins in 2022-2023, before gold prices doubled, it looks like I had fortuitous timing.

Here they are. I welcome your comments.

Gold Dollar, Type 1 (1849-1854)

Gold Dollar, Type 2 (1854-1856)

Gold Dollar, Type 3 (1856-1889)
