    This is a great thread.

    One of these days I am going to acquire a Barber half that will be of quality similar to those posted by El Dorado. :)

    That's cool. My wife works in Healdsburg, but not at a cigar store :)

    Gentlemen, always a pleasure to congregate here with some hot coffee and eye candy.
    Here is a new one and kind of reminds me of us all studying our coins:
    1859 "The Antiquary" Merchant Card, John K. Curtis. PCGS MS64BN

    Have a great weekend.

    VERY cool my brother 👌

    I've shown my grades and TVs of my latest submission to PCGS already. I was looking forward to examining them in hand again today, but the Post Office apparently doesn't bother to come up the 300-foot driveway to my new house. They'd rather tell you that you weren't at home when they call. So, instead of looking at nice coins in-hand with some dark roast, I'm looking at old photos of coins on my computer while I record eBay purchases for my collection.

    During inventorying, I came across an eBay receipt for a 1949 Canadian dollar in ICCG MS66 that I couldn't recall ever purchasing. Then, in the process of posting coins for a thread about "eye-appealing" coins, I spotted it! It was in the "Postal mishaps with Coins" file along with my nice 1849 half that came through a postal "Immaculate Compression" intact. :D So, unlike the last two Saturdays that were ruined by eBay crooks and their misleading photos, I count this as a good Saturday looking at coins. LOL.

    Don't mail coins in thin letter-like packages. Enough pressure was applied to the coin that it cut through the soft plastic ICCG holder. The coin was returned to the seller for a refund. I don't know the outcome of this coin's regrading.

    Definitely my favorite thread outside of my own :-) it’s making me want to sell my whole collection of moderns I’ve been making the past 5 yrs for just one of those toned proofs.

    But it’s hard to let go and it would be like starting over but also starting a new.

    Good morning 😃
    Check out this picture of my 9 year old grandson’s artwork that was transferred to a dang coffee cup. He’s been studying Picasso and it shows. Our little school district comes up with some really nice fundraising stuff.
    Holiday I don’t spend much on coins for me but these tokens were priced right. One shall be a gift for my adult son, Dave 😁

    It looks like an adult painted this cup.

    Love that mug, and the story behind it! Better than any coin.
    You can definitely see Picasso influence in his work.

    Impressive!

    Good morning everyone 😀
    This morning having some Hawaiian blend and today’s post is not a coin. It’s the very first Beaver note I’ve found.🦫. There’s plenty of coins with beavers but paper is another story. 1934 to boot 😁

    mmmm, mmmm, mmmm <3

    I've always been more of a business strike man ... and that 01-O is something beyond special for a product of New Orleans ... but that 01-S is ... ohhhh, it catches me speechless every time ... just sublime! Looks like it was just unwrapped from it's 100 year old tissue paper!

    Do you have special sunglasses to protect your eyes when looking at your collection?

    I have nothing new this morning. However I am going to attend today's San Francisco International Coin Show.

    I hope to pick up a new coin or two at that show that I can post to this thread.

    It COULD qualify as a "beaver buck" as it hails from Oregon . . . . .

    Just left the coin show.

    I am now enjoying a new, roughly 2,500 - 2,600 hundred year old coin.

    My first ancient. It is a Hoot!!

    Spectacular choice for your first ancient!
    A beautiful example of that pivotal piece of history too!
    Congratulations!
