Electric Anaconda and a cool Proof seated half

ANACONDA

Pretty cool, eh?

oldcameoproofsguy

That's really cool. What denomination is it?

ANACONDA

Quarter

stman

One of those 3D coins?

DHeath

What was the paint they used on the posters in the late 60's......oh yeah, flourescent day-glow. I'm surprised that it isn't one of your usual sublime pastel examples, but pretty none the less. I like it, but it makes me wanna listen to Hendrix Little Wing.

ARCO

Oh the humanity!!

Adrian - the chinese methods of torture don't compare to your cruelty! Excellent coloring, need to go to let my retina heal.

Anaconda. . .I really hate it when I see your posts. I can't resist clicking on your ebay links and drooling on my keyboard as I admire what you have to sell. I see you still have that 1892 PR68DC barber quarter and even worse, you have a an 1866 PR65DC seated dollar. OH THE PAIN !!

That is awesome! When Barber smokes some weed, she sees some weird colors!

FrattLaw

Hey, is that one of the coins Easyman sells on Ebay -- looks AT to me.

ANACONDA

I would not call it a three degree coin.

Dog97

It's neat! Glad it's not a 97! I'm about broke.

Honestly, I don't like it (and I usually like most coins Anaconda has for sale/shown). It look unnatural to me. Is it slabbed?

I like the look of this coin much better:


And I loved the look of that 3-Legged Buffalo with rainbow toning you had on eBay a few days ago. Stunning.

ANACONDA

NGC Proof 66.

Hadleydog

That is a stunning 1905.
The 1911 is also very nice.

MrLee

Beautiful colors. Did you leave that in a box of crayons on the dashboard?

Dave99B

I withhold my decision until I see the reverse. PLEASE!

I'm with Greg on this one. Neat colors, but it looks like somebody spilled soldier on it, and the flow is just...odd...

Hi Adrian,

That NGC PR66 1905 Barber quarter is a stunning example of psychedelic artistry at its finest. In other words...I dig it!

Mike

ANACONDA

The reverse of the Barber is nothing special but i'll post an image later of the reverse to satisfy those folks out there who would like to see it.

Here's another cool coin:

Hadleydog

Ohhh-my! That is wicked.
Thanks for sharing and please keep the pics coming!

ANACONDA

Here's a tough coin to find especially with a full strike and no problems:

Hadleydog

A very, very cool piece! What's the pop on this piece in 65?

cosmicdebris

All very nice pieces. So when are you gonna have a giveaway and have one of us win one?

ANACONDA

The pop for the bust quarter is 35 in 65, i believe.

Here's another cool coin, a rarity 7 coin:

she's on fire, quick someone put her out!

I had a chance to look over Adrians collection this weekend and can say without a doubt that his collection is beathtaking. His eye for the unusual colors is amazing. Do yourself a favor and find a show that he will be attending and allow about an hour just for his table. Be sure to bring a wad of cash because if you like beautifully colored items (and the truly rare items also), you will be spending money at his table.

here is one I bought from him this weekend

Sorry- I just had to see this one again.

Draco

I really hate toning, but I'll make an exception for that pattern dime

Coulport

So did NCS feel they could salvage it?

awsome Adrian,

25 Cent version:

Hadleydog

That 1871 dime must be from the legendary Chernobyl hoard, she is radio-active!
Awsome!

mbbiker

that pattern dime is amazing that is by far the coolest toning i've ever seen on a coin. (question on that coins grade to be a PF67 wouldn't it have to be fully struck? the word liberty is almost missing or is that just the picture?)

ANACONDA

There are two possible explanations for the 67 grade even when "LIBERTY" isn't fully struck......

1) NGC doesn't require the coin to be fully struck to garner a 67 or

2) NGC made a mistake and that coin should not be in a 67 holder.

My suspicions are that 1) is the right answer.

It seems to me that it would have been a 68 but for the incomplete strike. There is essentially nothing wrong with the coin other than the incomplete strike as evidenced by the lack of definition of LIBERTY on the obverse and the minute planchet abrasions which were not struck out on the reverse.

Just my opinion.

Adrian,

I bought a small dentil Capped Bust Qtr because many of the large dentil varitety have striking problems, unlike yours. How's the luster on that coin? I ask because I think the only way one can tell if by seeing it in person. Luster on early 19th Century coins is typically subdued (if they're original), and I find that this often doesn't image well.
