Electric Anaconda and a cool Proof seated half

Pretty cool, eh?

oldcameoproofsguy · January 26, 2003 12:27PM

That's really cool. What denomination is it?

ANACONDA · January 26, 2003 12:27PM

Quarter

stman · January 26, 2003 12:32PM

One of those 3D coins?

DHeath · January 26, 2003 12:35PM

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.

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 !!

airplanenut · January 26, 2003 12:41PM

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

FrattLaw · January 26, 2003 12:44PM

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

Michael

ANACONDA · January 26, 2003 12:45PM

I would not call it a three degree coin.

Dog97 · January 26, 2003 12:50PM

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

gmarguli · January 26, 2003 12:50PM

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 · January 26, 2003 12:58PM

NGC Proof 66.

Hadleydog · January 26, 2003 1:01PM

That is a stunning 1905.

The 1911 is also very nice.

MrLee · January 26, 2003 1:25PM

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

Dave99B · January 26, 2003 1:35PM

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

Dave

MastaHanky · January 26, 2003 1:40PM

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

coingame2000 · January 26, 2003 2:47PM

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 · January 26, 2003 2:49PM

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 · January 26, 2003 4:00PM

Ohhh-my! That is wicked.

Thanks for sharing and please keep the pics coming!

ANACONDA · January 26, 2003 4:14PM

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

Hadleydog · January 26, 2003 4:28PM

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

cosmicdebris · January 26, 2003 6:15PM

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

ANACONDA · January 26, 2003 6:42PM

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

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

jbsteven · January 26, 2003 7:58PM

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

beautiful

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 · January 26, 2003 11:06PM

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

Coulport · January 26, 2003 11:39PM

So did NCS feel they could salvage it?

toners · January 26, 2003 11:42PM

awsome Adrian,
Allen

cosmicdebris · January 27, 2003 12:34AM

25 Cent version:

Hadleydog · January 27, 2003 3:55AM

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

Awsome!

mbbiker · January 27, 2003 4:04AM

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 · January 27, 2003 4:50AM

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.
