I’m still drinking coffee, and now that I’m done picking my jaw up off the floor after seeing @EastonCollection ’s 1796 …
A humble newp, but a type that I’ve always liked yet couldn’t find attractively toned until now. In a 6+ holder thanks to the excellent luster in hand. Happy Saturday all!

Happy Saturday everyone! Since this coming week is Thanksgiving, I am thankful for this seated dollar in collection.
Damn!
I come here to show off my new seated dollar and this is the first coin I see. How deflating (LMAO)! Like watching a triple dip of ice cream fall out of your sugar cone onto the ground. I might as well go back to watching my crummy football team lose again.

I may go for a 40's set. Someone posted their XF/AU 1840's set here long ago. It was impressive and planted the idea in my head. Mine will be quite different, though, with two EF40's and a G6 so far. The G6 is the best coin for the grade of the three.
That's truly a gorgeous coin, @Inspired70. Thanks. I had a really good laugh posting this!

I love your seated dollars. That's a great pair of 1842's! In my humble opinion all seated dollars are a treasure!

It's the same coin. I don't know what it's going to look like. Gerry says his photos are accurate. I suspect the TV is closer to the look in hand. I love the originality of this coin, though, compared to the PCGS coins I saw on Coin Facts after the purchase.
I feel the same way about seated dollars. Though I focus on SL halves, I cannot resist grabbing one of these awesome coins every now and then.
There are some really nice coins in this thread. @Inspired70 and @CircCam, Wow! Stunning coins! @Catbert likely spilled his coffee looking at those two gems.
Yet another Red Eye Saturday. Today, the Early Walker quest continues with this GC auction pickup from last Sunday:
Rock solid for the grade & went for a good price relative to the pg & difficulty obtaining one of these at this level. Remaining are these 3: that nasty 21-S, 28-S & 23-S. The latter? I have a commitment to buy a really nice CAC one @ FUN (& @ a decent price point too)! In reality, then, there’s two. But it will take some more time due to that 21-S - it’s a budget buster!
Have the best day everyone; I’m still feasting on the turkey leftovers!
AND now for something completely different - I had too much coffee yesterday and high on caffeine - so I couldnt find any coins that I liked so I got these - ( sorry this thread is coffee with coins not paper - so I apologize in advance - FYI- I did get them at a coin show!
Pretty cool but not coins -
A leisurely Saturday morning, going over some of the coins within your collection.
This likely appeals to nostalgia and the desire for simplicity. Classic coins can evoke fond memories of a time when money felt more personal and less overwhelming, offering basic functionality without the distractions of modern "tap here" credit cards. It’s also an affordable way to own a piece of contemporary history, and offers a unique charm that stands out in a sea of modernized hobbies and distractions.
Just my take as a reflect on this satisfying pasttime.

Now that I have the 1842 seated Liberty dollar in-hand, I agree with Gerry Fortin that his photos of this coin were more accurate to the coin in-hand than the Trueviews.
Posted this li’l beauty last week in the ongoing NEWP thread, and I thought it worth another viewing on a cold Saturday morning with my Dunkin’….. I’m quite enamored with it.
She’s going into the SDB for a while come Monday.
Have a great and safe weekend with friends and family everyone!

I couldn’t resist this one - an absolute shimmering beauty. This date is common, essentially a bullion coin. Still interesting; I think it’s a safe bet it was part of a Swiss bank hoard back in the day!
Here's one I found from Northeast Numismatics about a year ago, and welcomed her in to the fold. I need to redo the images to get the color right, as she's a quite attractive AU in hand. Love the reverse below and around the left wing. She has a P55cac dinner jacket if that matters to anyone.

She's a beauty @pursuitofliberty! Love the consistent toning across obverse and reverse. Looks cleaner than an AU.
I thought I had posted the obverse. My mistake. Here she is.

Good Morning,
Ten dollars worth of fun—from a new Loomis roll of mixed Philadelphia 2022s and 2023s—found three in one roll of the twenty rolls.

It's nice to see that this 1876 XF45 turned out to be more colorful in-hand than in this photo. It's got some luster and color.

Your 1840 & 1042 are WOW coins. I love them both. You got a fantastic eye.
Now that I have the 1842 seated Liberty dollar in-hand, I agree with Gerry Fortin that his photos of this coin were more accurate to the coin in-hand than the Trueviews.
Happy Saturday morning to all. Getting an early start today. This newp arrived midweek.

Good morning—
Good Saturday morning everyone. Looking at a CBH this weekend.
This coffee mug is available on Amazon - I got to get one-
A recent acquisition (they are getting far and few lately) : So I am happy for now.
Called off at work this morning due to low census! I've been keeping this on my desk lately for ease of admiration.
