mine is a 1900s XF barber quarter with a cool little die crack along the hair ribbon I pick up for $70.00 at China Lake Coin and Currency in Hallowell Maine. I wished my cam or scanner was working I'ld post a photo, but maybe next week I have them going.

    My most recent purchase was an 1877 Indian head Xf-45, and 1872 Two center Vg-8.
    Both coins are currently at PCGS, where I hoping for the grades I quoted ya!

    I do have a grading guarantee on the 77, and the 72 two center not enough value to worry about it.

    Bought them at are local show last weekend.

    I just bought a F-12 1909-S Lincoln cent. Nothing special, but it was one of the last three coins I was missing for my circulated Lincoln set collection. Picked it up from my local dealer in town. Raw - $40. Think I got a fairly good deal. I may try and take a pic of it later.

    I just received in the mail today a 1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel (restored date) image

    It looks fantastic. Clear as day with the correct diagnostics.

    Much better looking than the G and VG examples I had been looking at (and a lot less costly) image

    A 1944P MS67 Merc Dime coming from a board member and a 1943S Merc Dime MS67FB coming from Northern Nevada Coin. Both coins coming from good people to deal with.

    This Old Gal stopped by this morning so I snapped a new picture of her.

    Good to see you Mac, congrats on the new purchase.

    Mark -- that pattern must be dazzling in person. I especially love the way the reverse toned on that great design.

    My newest coin. I got it when you-know-who (he is a board member) posted the picture and I could'nt resist.

    I went to Ebay, and another board member ran up my bid, but I got it only 150% of the value. Typical for meimage

    OK Will someone tell me how to post a picture on this message. I attached the file, and it only came up as an attachment.

    An 1861 O No Motto Seated Half in a PCGS MS 65 from the Bowers auction in Baltimore.
    I can't image anything (in fact, the coin didn't even have an image either in the catalogue or
    on the internet site).

    It's an original coin which was in an album for a long time. Not a single mark on it, amazingly enough. If you tilt the coin, it appears prooflike around both obverse & reverse rims. Strike is typical for New Orleans coinage. Luster is present, but as it's an original coin, it is subtle. Has attractive toning on both sides.

    1902 $2.50 PCGS64 from a local coin show. Already had a PCGS64 Liberty $2.50, but this one was so nice I couldn't leave it there.

    Got 2 actually. 1883 CC Morgan with arc toning and a 1938-D/D Buffalo nickel.I think the morgan will go MS-64 and the nickel should be a MS-66.

    Willimantic coin show in CT.

    By the way, I like Boiler's coin the best so far. Those patterns are so striking!
