"Sweet" addition to your set! Russ takes great pictures doesn't he? His pictures help sell his items at good prices. Good prices for him that is. Ha, Ha. Lee

You can't trust that Russ worth a damn!! He showed us how to take deceptive pics of ugly coins. Made a scratched to hell brilliant proof Kennedy look like the deepest DCAM you ever saw. I wouldn't buy anything from that rat bastage.






































Just kidding!!!!

Sweet!

I think I bid on that one. (At the extreme lowball level).

Bunker

I saw that coin and was going to bid and got sidetracked. Russ has nice coins and takea great pics. WTG on your new purchase

Baley

There were several forum members bidding for Russ' two cent coins, I feel they closed at fair prices for both buyers and seller!

Thanks for your comments guys, will update when it arrives
(provided this "Russ" character turns out to be legit and actually owns the coins. Estate sale!)

Russ

I was wondering if it was going to find it's way in to THE type set. Very cool. It's a strong coin for the grade, so feel free to bump that up when you crack it out.

On a related note, while I was sorry to see them go, the sale of my Two Cent Pieces helps to confirm the adage that if you buy nice coins you'll usually do okay. Overall, they actually brought a profit above what they cost me over the last couple years. Not any kind of "you suck" profit, but it's nice to be able to enjoy the hobby and make a little money at selling time.

You took Russ' sloppy seconds? Just kidding. Very nice example. Congrats on the new addition.

SDCollector

Very nice Baley. Soon that 2 cent piece will have the Baley Type Set pedigree.

Baley

The coin arrived today! Super fast shipping and indeed, a very nice coin. Thanks again Russ!

I'm at work now but will post some pics tonight, the obverse is a nice deep red-brown like cherrywood, the reverse has a sort of woodgrain effect, with a rich golden periphery and darker brownish centers. I agree that it's strong for the grade, in fact, it's soon to be a raw MS63

Guess what Baley....

Baley

Thanks again guys, now I'm home and have had a nice drink, and took these pictures:




I think I captured the essence of this coin just a little better than Russ did!

The book's in the bank, so the breakage of the slabbage will wait until next week (I've got another sweet upgrade on the way anyway, check out this pcgs barber quarter:

SDCollector

Lovely, absolutely lovely. Both coins have gorgeous color. Baley, you definitely have the eye for coins.

Way to go Baley. Both you and Russ know nice looking original coins. I'm sure you are happy and it does make a great upgrade to your type set. What are you going to do with the othe AU two cent peice in the Dansco? Congrats.

Baley

What are you going to do with the othe AU two cent piece in the Dansco?

I have a Whitman 2-volume type set (my "B" set) that receives coins that were bumped out of the Dansco.





Coins that get bumped from the Whitman get either sold off or given away.

Reminds me, 5000 post giveaway is coming up pretty soon here!

Take more pics when cracked.

Nice early type coins! The GMM 1796 quarter and half in the "B" set stand out like a sore thumb...

Baley

LoL! yeah, and the 1796 GMM dime, too. The dime is getting some nice toning about the rims

Just place holders until I can locate (and afford) some nice AG/Good pieces for those holes.... tough coins!

Will take more pics of these coins in their new homes next week

Baley

Take more pics when cracked. -mgoodm3

Yes, Sir, mgoodm3, SIR!!

Here is the coin now that it is free from the plastic case and put in my storage and display situation of choice:

Numismanic

Looks great in your set!

Very nice set Baley. Beautiful coinz and photos!

Baley...I still hate you !!!



Very sweet

Hey Baley. I'm making good progress on my Dansco. Just picked up my second LS Dollar in the Heritage auction last night. Awaiting delivery of a few other coins, and pretty much done except for a LS (arrows) half dime and 2 LS quarters (motto and no motto). Still haven't gotten any commems, and not sure if I'm going to fill those holes, as commems never did it for me. I'll try to take some pics of the finished sections next week and we can have a battle of the Danscos

mdwoods

Nice looking set of coins you have there.

Baley

Thanks guys, it's coming along, it's coming along..

here's the new Barber quarter in place:





...and we can have a battle of the Danscos

Bring it!

Another great coin released from its entomb-ment!

Now what happened to the S mint mark on that quarter Baley? Did you scratch it off?
