    Them's be some fine lookin' Wheaties and the snarlin' pooch be a showstopper.

    This 1982 small date, 3.1 wt. was found 2 yrs ago and was put aside for a rainy day lets say.
    The rim is...? ..."Autographed" ?
    That question, and 3 or 4 more, are for another day ?
    Show and tell only.

    @CRHer700 -

    Let's start at the beginning. First, did your parents know you were on their phone and did you have their permission?

    Thanks for posting and btw you're off to a great start @CRHer700

    Remember to use a little charm while on the hunt. It goes a long way in developing relationships with tellers, dealers, and the like.

    Best of luck,
    Chris

    Hole Filler.

    Now, that I have a moment to expand on this one hole filler.
    Beautiful specimen with hardly a nick on her (sound familiar). Pleasant dirt toning and the Shield is silky smooth as a babies butt :) but, imo this one will struggle to get past 65. Weak Strike!
    I'll go with Murphy's Law here, you can't have it both ways, very often anyway.

    It certainly is quite the addiction, today was my weekly pickup, so I'll post my finds when I get finished with them.

    "They came as advertised", well almost. There was a 1965 in the roll the 1964's. Everything else was solid.

    I have around 250 mint sets arriving over the next few days. I’m going to need a few winners to cover costs.

    And for the first time will actually keep this lot separate from the rest so that I can put actual profit or loss numbers to it after the grading is done and the leftovers are sold.

    I’m feeling optimistic that my purchasing and grading skills have improved. Obviously, both require a certain degree of luck. My last two subs were well into the black so I’m looking to tighten it up even further by being more selective and less reactive.

  • CoinscratchCoinscratch Posts: 8,658 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Or is that less selective as in quit picking so many already. Seems like half of every order is just dumb stuff but I just had to try it out.

    Case in point: Cool looking coin though it would’ve been a better pocket piece at MS 62. Rim dings smash die polish.

    This one however still grabbed a 67 even with the hit..almost got there but still looking for 68.

  • CRHer700CRHer700 Posts: 1,921 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Last month was almost unbelievable for nickels. I got 1 shield nickel, 2 V nickels, 24 buffaloes, and 8 wars out of $1500. Most of it came from this really good box that had 3/4 of those listed, with many of the buffaloes in particular. Soon I will post my totals for the month, right now I am still working on it.

    Alright, here it is: last months totals are in!
    The attached pictures are the report and some highlights of last month.









    The shield nickel is my first and only one in my collection of that type, and the oldest coin I have ever found. The 1887 is also in very fine (literally) condition.

    I’m just playing around anytime toes or bellies are included in the picture it’s kind of comical.

    Well the first batch was a bust. Obviously these aren’t the Grandioso collected mint sets that I thought they were going to be. Props to the seller for the pics. I’ll have to be just as crafty to move these and I’ll just leave that right there :-)

    Next up! Second batch same seller expectations low but I’m gonna stay optimistic :-)
