I just took THREE, yes, THREE tests in a row (last one ended at 11... Honors Bio, then Driver Ed [easy but it still required concentration], then Honors Pre-Calc...

MY MIND HURTS SOOOOO MUCH! How about you all post a picture of a pretty coin to easy my mind back to normalcy? Don't stop at just one picture

NICE JOB on that pic!

Beautiful.

got it from PCGS Saturday afternoon, put it up on eBay in the early evening, sold with BIN a few hours later

shylock · September 23, 2002 6:04AM

Dan -- that's a coin from their inventory which they imaged. They take wonderful images these days, maybe Mark (Coinguy1) can tell us what they use.

jtryka · September 23, 2002 9:58AM

Mike,

Those are a couple lovely ladies! I especially like the 14-D (? not sure from the scan, but it looks like a D to me!). The 08 is nice too, is it a motto or no motto? I just got a nice 08 WM a couple weeks ago, so now all I need is the 08-D WM. Right now I am bidding on a really beautiful lady and I'll find out tomorrow if I get to take her home!

I really like this lady, so don't anyone even thing of sniping her from me!

littlewicher · September 23, 2002 10:09AM

Here are some coins from my personal collection.

boiler78 · September 23, 2002 10:12AM

Heres another coin thats fun to look at

Morgan Dime obverse

Morgan Dime reverse

A tiny morgan dollar.

littlewicher · September 23, 2002 10:15AM

Here's another awesome coin. Unfortunately, this coin isn't part of my collection.

This is a 1855 PCGS MS65 RD Large Cent. Talk about drooling!!!!!

Fairlaneman · September 23, 2002 10:26AM

A Little Color to Sooth Yourself.

jtryka · September 23, 2002 10:27AM

Wow LW, that is a beautiful wheat cent proof! I was looking at the Heritage Signature Sale for some saints, and I was about to drool over the 1932 in MS-66, but then I clicked on the close-up photo and she had a dog face! It's a shame it wasn't well struck on the face, but heck it is a 32!

jtryka- thanks they are both nice coins

. The first one is an 11-D in a PCGS 64 holder I thought this one would be a for sure 65 with a shot at 66 and the 1908 is a no motto wells fargo in a pcgs 65 holder. mike

WWBillman · September 23, 2002 12:27PM

Here is a PCGS MS66

michael · September 23, 2002 1:01PM

wow wild!!!!! all great posts! here is another coin this coin is fully original and has some light fly specks that keeps it out of a 68 holder the color is lighter than the scan and the coin as with all satin proofs is semi prooflike the coin currently resides in an ngc satin proof 67 holder. rose/red turoquoise blue/green yellow/gold evenly blankets both sides

sincerely michael

Mike,

I agree with you on the 11-D (sorry I mistyped it as a 14-D before, my eyes aren't that bad yet!). I just sold a 64 on eBay and yours looks a heck of a lot nicer than mine.

Bill,

That is perhaps the most beautiful nickel I have ever seen, thanks for posting it!
