    Last night I got a head start on Saturday morning coffee with coins.

    The wife was out of town for a girls trip to Monterey/Carmel. My son was on campus for an evening course for his Master's degree program.

    I got home at about 4:50 p.m. I had the house to myself for about 3.5 hours. I pulled out the collection and reorganized my slabbed coins in PCGS boxes. I also organized some raw coins to submit to PCGS in a bulk submission on a quarterly special.

    After coin playtime was over I turned on the TV and found that the GS Warriors were playing the Miami Heat at Chase Center in SF. The score was 103-100 in favor of the Warriors with about 6 minutes left in the game. Next thing you know Steph Curry and his teammates go off on a run. Final score 123-110 Warriors over the Heat. Curry scored 33 points in this game.

    Had no coffee last night. Do not like the taste of it. Ice water, ice tea, a cold beer or a glass of wine are my preferred beverages when viewing round pieces of shiny metal.

    Like this one.

    Gallon of coffee and back at the inventory. I had no idea how many coins, raw and slabbed I have bought in the last 5 years.
    Getting some ideas for boxes of 20. One with a variety of all 70 grades. Another for W pennies and nickels and such.

    Yippee 🥳.
    I’m over half way finished with the inventory 😁
    Cup of Kona and checking on my beaver collection. Pretty good over 20 examples and now the next level. Beavers get more expensive as I learn of new coins. Still wondering if there’s any currency with beavers ?
    Everyone enjoy their weekend. We are having snow and then a little more and guess what? Another storm coming in today. The ski resorts are happy 😁
    Here’s one of my favorites for today 🦫

    Good day, forum fellows!

    Having a great cup today while dropping the kiddo off to ballet.
    I will share a sweet Civil War token from Seneca Falls, NY that was counterstamped with the punch from "H.Franz." Apparently, he took over this business from D. Skidmore and had some leftover tokens in which to leave his mark. Good for One cigar in the parlor.

    This is a great design in the CWT series and seldom becomes available. I picked mine up when Q. David Bowers was selling off his grand collection that he put together over a 60 year period.
    Here is the normal copper version, also from QDB:

    Have a great day, guys

    Sitting at a coffee shop. Just had a pumpkin cranberry muffin and checking out this thread for the first time. Here is one you may have seen. Came in on Wednesday.

    The second was my first ever chance to hold a Draped Bust $5. It is interesting how the dates look the same with the date over strike.

    The third is the first ever Capped Bust $5 I have ever held.

    I love Draped Bust $5's! You have some great coins! Doing the full set?

    @Inspired70 , I wish. The 1700's have moved past me. I do want to find a nice "Fat Head" or two and another nice Capped. The most I could pull off would be an 1800+ set.

    Had a good Saturday morning with coffee and coins. Had to get out a couple of fun S mint coins to keep me company for the S mint article.

    Awesome! Lovely coins, too. 👍

    Here is the TV, to get this look, you have to shoot it raw and avoid slab glare.

    Want to sell?

    Poured out some bitter coffee yesterday morning after examining this new purchase, a lowball 55/54. It's not bad looking from a distance or in the seller's photos (below), and it's definitely an overdate. However, it's difficult to see it with all the surface pitting it has, even though it's a middle die state.

  • Sincere thanks for all the great coins, memes and coffee. No photos for me; my camera fell in the lake in a canoe accident. Here is my 2022 Klatch roasting orders, lots of 5lb bags.

    September 01, 2022 Paid Fulfilled $227.40
    May 26, 2022 Paid Fulfilled $235.40
    February 19, 2022 Paid Fulfilled $151.60

    Today its Costa Rica Finca Garcilaso H15 Anaerobic Natural. Recent favorite was Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Worka Anaerobic Natural Gr1. I favor a fruity, berry coffee but sometimes a traditional Italian roast can not be beat.

    I just gotta ask. Can we see your brewing setup and your cup? Sorry about your camera. Take a few pictures with your phone, many of us use nothing but 😁 and get good enough pics to post.

    Coffee and Currency this morning? A much different 50c than my usual ...

    I would also drink wine for breakfast if I had gold like that. Very nice.
