Today's Coin Shop Finds

Rampage

I went to my local coin shop and just sat down and started searching through a large box of proof sets and other binders filled with coins. Below are two coins I picked up. Details are with the pictures.

Also, I noticed he had a stack of maybe 40 used coin albums, some more used than others. I asked how much for the used albums and he said take what I want. So, I got 6 albums, one for Jeffersons, one for roosevelts, one for IHC (LOC album), one for Liberty nickels (LOC album, one for Washies (silver issue book), and one for Frankies. So, 6 books for free.

Other than that, I got a couple of real nice toned Jefferson nickels.


This Franklin half I bought because it looked like it was so close to DCAM, hopefully. The spots are on the holder and the fields are allot cleaner than what appears in the scan.



This Lincoln was in the 1968 proof set I bought for $6.00. For $6.00, I could not pass it up.



So, what do you all think?

You can't beat them . . .especially for the price . . .

The albums are interesting . . . LOC albums in nice shape are always a great find. Nice pieces of history . . .

Actually, the LOC albums did not even look like they were used.

Nice score on all. I like the LOC albums myself.

Very nice. That Franklin looks great.

Both look great.

I wouldn't say the Franklin "looks close to DCAM", though- looks more like "close to CAM" from where I'm sitting. I just don't see enough frost to warrant DCAM. Of course, I'm sitting at work with a terrible monitor. Whatever the case, that's a nice Frankie.

That cent looks closer to DCAM in my estimation than the Frankie does- sweet!

I agree the Franklin looks more CAM and DCAM, but the lincoln is a beauty.

Thanks guys. They were both cheap, so even if the Frankie is only a cameo-not a bad deal.
