The 1976-D Lincoln Cent has proven to be an illusive coin to find in a higher graded condition. NGC lists only 9 in MS-67, and 111 in MS-66. I found a seller with three of those 111 MS-66 coins, and purchased this one:
This one arrived today, just in time to have something to play with over the weekend. I couldn't resist adding this little beauty to the collection when I came across it recently, especially when the seller was reasonable and open to negotiation.
I am sure others on here are familiar with this coin. Some of the most common varieties I held off until the end or if something with unusual character popped up. This 1803 BB-254 / B-4 is that sort of coin, second most common of the date (BB-255 is insanely common, but this is a distant 2nd) with a vintage inscription. I am combing through census records to try to possibly figure out who Jut and Dick might be. Paid a little more than I wanted for it.

This 1841-D should arrive by Monday. Back in October 2019 I could have purchased this particular coin but hesitated as I had just made an offer on a home and had an existing home to sell. I regretted my decision soon afterwards and ever since. 1841-D $2.50's are seldom available, especially with CAC approval. When the coin became available again this month I did not hesitate to pull the trigger this time. Thank goodness for a second chance.

Low mintage, 1260 coins, all struck on the day of coronation, May 6, 2023
I have a thread describing it further on the world coins forum…
Yesterday at our local coin show I picked up a roll 1967 pennies for $1 each to use for a project I had in mind.
Turns out they’re not really big enough for the coffee scoop I was going for but this was my first attempt this morning.

50c straight across for this beauty. Merchant rolls are harder to come by than imagined. But im getting there.. and this is thanks to the wife today... and welcome to my 'Box of 10'...
I haven't collected coins since my youth (I'm 55 now), but I've always had a fondness for them. Three years ago, I helped heirs open the safe of their recently-deceased aunt and discovered a magnificent collection of coins, including hundreds of Morgan/Peace dollars. There were the first seven of the Carson City Morgan series in that stash, and I've been thinking of them ever since.
Last week, I started my Carson City collection with the purchase of these three coins from three different online sellers. Being inexperienced, I'm hoping that they are all legit. Lol!

LOL, I had that in my watch list and was trying to decide if I wanted to deal with crossing it to PCGS when you got it. Nice coin man.
Finally found a rotated reverse (metallic alignment) 1989-D Congress dollar.
The price was right.

Not a new purchase, but recently CAC’d. This was cracked out from an old ANACS holder (62 to 62).
This one arrived today, just in time to have something to play with over the weekend. I couldn't resist adding this little beauty to the collection when I came across it recently, especially when the seller was reasonable and open to negotiation.

I liked the eye appeal on this one.
(Add). Falls somewhere between a "D" and a "weak D". Don't think it qualifies as a weak D.

Maybe an Ike would work?
No problem at all! 👍
I’m glad I saw this now because by this time tomorrow it will be in the mail to PCGS!
These pictures that I just took are pretty decent, but as you know, The Trueview should be a LOT better!
