Some Recent Pickups

Thought I'd share a few pickups for the type set from the last 6 months or so. Thanks for looking!

This one just reminds me of Sleepy Hollow, I think they eye appeal is amazing but realize it's probably not for everyone:

WOOW !!! Nice pickups. Is the 1885 V nickel a proof ?

Not a gtg. You can cheat and look up the cert #. It must be. Edit to say oh yeah it sure is.

Nice hunting!

Impressive group! That Barber dime has nice looking colors and the nickel has a great strike and, again, awesome color.

All fantastic coins! The dime looks like it has been left alone for a long time, great toning. I would have a tough time selecting a favorite. Thanks for sharing your photos. Super collection.

Yes it's a proof but I wish it wasn't! 1885 is a very tough/expensive date in mint state which makes it a popular coin in proof because they're so much less expensive. Date set collectors can grab a proof like mine or for the same price an XF coin.

Yeah I really love that gold dollar it's one of the more recent pickups so maybe some recency bias but it's got great eye appeal the luster is fantastic. I really like the gold dollar series in general.

Thanks! Yes I think that's why I like the dime so much. I took one look at it and thought that's a coin that's been sitting untouched for decades in pristine condition. One little hit on the obverse keeps it at 66+.
