Some eye candy of varying degrees from an econ order which graded today

Econ times are doing well! I had an economy submission go "in process" on 4/15 and grades posted today. Despite being graded on Monday, I do not feel like I got "monday grades". (all 9 of my 9 coins graded)

Per usual I bought them all raw.
This was a bit of a shock as I did not know it was toned when I bid on it, and 24 also happens to be one of 2 holes in my buffalo date run. This graded 63 as I expected the spots to keep it out of a 64 holder. The luster is very nice. 1924 is a tougher philly buffalo and especially with color. Now to find that 1921!

This was too cheap not to buy. MS66

My first graded barber and only one in MS I've ever owned. I think I'll keep it for the type set.

and here are some toned morgans but everybody has seen those before.

MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Morgan’s are most certainly not my series but I love those looks. My preference on the buffaloes is the 1936 which has a great combination of strike in color. The barber looks most worthy of it type set keeper as well. Congrats!

    I'd much rather have a 1924 that looks more like the 36-S, but the 24 with color don't seem to surface very often, at least in my fishing hole.

    Thanks @FullHorn !

    Nice finds! Are those your images or TVs? Asking because I also got econ grades today, and I’m eager to see the images to figure out which examples I got Monday results on (two of mine bagged as cleaned). ;)

    These are called "coinfacts" images and are normally up before trueviews.
    If you put this link into your browser and change out the cert numbers to match yours, you should be able to see your photos assuming you got gold shield holders.

    Thanks so much for that tip! It doesn't yet work for me... while I went the gold shield route, I think the cert numbers I have are not yet live. They're not yet clickable in the order details, either.

    Anyway. Your results are inspiring. :)

    Mine aren't live yet either, but the CF images work so keep checking.

    I'm not really a Buffalo collector. But, seeing that 36-S is making me want to be one!!! That's the kind of toning I love! Wish I had some like that! I also like your Morgans. Is the 1896's blue really that soft and light in hand, or is it darker? I'd love to have one like that one!

    Rocking my "shiny-object-syndrome"!!!

    Hi Eric,
    The 1896 trueview is pretty spot on, I'd say. It is mostly light blue.

    The "buffalo date run" thread will not help you stave off your newfound feelings for buffalo nickels!

    Nice coins and good eye! All look pretty darn nice. It's a little frustrating since I have 3 packages-2 Regular and 1 Express that were marked "In Process" on 4/17 and not one has been graded. Grrr.
