Here are some of my finds, some of these will go in for grading, some will go into my albums...

This 51s Frankie was a pleasent find, its a white coin with nice luster:

A lovely 16p that is off white but has very good luster and a solid strike!

Another nice GEM Winged Liberty, coin has very nice luster and iss off white in color:

A Brilliant Blazer!!! Tons of Luster, great strike, looks mint fresh!

A knockout Lincoln with some killer neon greens in the Obverse!!!

Viva Las Vegas!!!!

I looked at many Washingtons, but I did not find any that I thought were worth some of the prices being asked.

When I look at raw coins, I'll assign a grade to the coin in my head, then look at the purchase price, if after the grading fee plus the price of the coin puts me in a position to atleast break even, I'll make a purchase....

I will say though that I made offers rather then pay what was written on the flips/stapled holders.....

every dealer that I did this with accepted my offers....

Great job on some nice finds! And welcome back too. I like the 1916 Merc and the color on that Lincoln!

Very nice purchases, Lucy. That Lincoln is very wild looking. Nice catch on the Franklin. The Mercs are very nice looking coins also. Looks like you did very well.

My grade guess' for the Mercs...

'16 - 64FB or 65FB... The pic is a little blurry, but a nice lookin coin
'35 - 67FB A Beauty!!! Album or Grading?
'37 - 66FB Another great lookin one, I see a couple hits in the reverse field that I think would keep it at 6... otherwise would be a 7...

All of em are beauties Lucy... lemme know how my grading matches up with yours on the Mercs!
