    More coffee, more coins. That's what a Saturday morning should be about!

    Wish I had coffee at your house this morning!

    Well, I already posted in coffee with coins yesterday, fully believing it was Saturday 😆
    Im happy to report the Mets took the home opener from the Marlins handily, 9-3.
    I'm enjoying coffee with my kiddo over breakfast right now.

    Have a great Saturday, ladies and gents!

    I cant wait until I can forget what day it is!

    Good morning! Coffee in hand, going through the whirlwind of a week I had with coins.

    Last Saturday I was kind of taking a breather ... a new auction purchase in hand that hadn't cost a lot ... thinking of how to get the war chest fatter for summer. And then other stuff happened!

    Since Sunday ...

    Sold four 1/4 ounce Eagles through the BST (had kind of planned on this)
    Won an 1806 Draped Bust Half in a premium grade (completely unexpected)
    Sent a box to PCGS of some raw stuff (I had been considering for a while)
    Sent a box to Heritage for an upcoming venue (also in the works for a bit)
    Got two coins back from PCGS (about 100 days - both nice CBH's)

    Damn it, this coin thing ended up being a lot of work!! :D:D:p

    Here's the in hand kitchen pictures of the DBH ... I made it's own thread with closeups and the story here if you didn't see it

    .

    Oh my!! I like a lot!

    Having a cup of tea 🫖
    I’ve been building a ms 67 S uncirculated womens quarters 2022 set. I’ve been lucky to win the Maya and the Sally at a great price. Added these couple days ago. Only the Anna May left. Goal was to pay under $100 total. Looks like I will come in way under

    Matching holders and grade 👍🏼

    🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶

    Coffee and a Walker. Simplicity is good. Happy Sat Gents. PS @pursuitofliberty Congrats on the 1806 Half, as it is not only beautiful but an incredible piece of history. @Inspired70 That Morgan...Holy cow! Love it!

    Awesome 1943 Walker @Eldorado9! One of my parents born in 1943, so always a favorite year of mine. She looks like she has good luster if you rolled her in slab.

    I'm a sucker for high grade bust halves, especially those with provanence. Pouge had a great eye. The luster on this coin is over the tope for something from 1824!
