    I really like my 1911 66BN matte proof cent that I got recently. It was my first. i really like the detail and the coloring on it. I think that I need to get some more of them.

    This one made my heart beat a bit faster - is that like being psyched?? image

  • I received my 79-O Morgan PCGS MS63 yesterday; light cameo contrast obverse and reverse, booming luster, 99% white, and a strong strike. image

    Adrian,

    I was really happy with this one ... image from earlier this year

    I also bought an awesome AU58 (62/3?) 1933s WLH about the same time, but I haven't shot her with the new camera yet

  • Cool. Neat coins. Double die nickel, matte proof Lincoln, and a '57 proof set.

    I'm getting a shipment in of 4 coins. I went into the office today expecting them to arrive only to find out that they won't come in until tomorrow.

    I did, though, get 2 weeks of mail which included a couple of auction catalogs and some blue and grey sheets which I enjoy perusing.

    I also got a few coins from a buddy of mine (the fellow who sells coins of mine under anaconda.rare.coins.ii)....a walker in 66, a pattern in 64, a toned commem and something else which I can't remember.

    Also, since you guys aren't into currency, I might be getting a really cool piece of currency in which is the first piece of something - a really popular type note to be graded in 68.

    So, we all are in the same boat......when is the next deal gonna happen!
  • Hey Todd!

    Nice tough date SLQ with a decent head for the date. When are you going to sell me your icon coin?
  • Just got a cool 1853 3 cent Silver

    Nothing really special about the coin itself - a nice boderline XF/AU for the price of VF - Nice die clash too

    Also upgraded the type set with an AU Bust Half Dime

  • Man, those three centers are tiny coins, aren't they! I wonder how many have gotton bent getting pushed into an NGC insert.

    Not sure about NGC but PCGS and ANACS have treated the few that I have had holdered nicely

    I have seen a few bent ones in dealers showcases though - they do not hold up well to rough handling

    Adrian,

    My icon isn't mine ... you'll have to talk to Jon about that one ... I borrowed it and am never home when they do the uploads. I do have one for you though, but we can talk about that later (if I decide to sell her) image

    Glad to see you're posting again ...

  • That's good...I'm sure many people get somewhat nervous when they send coins in for grading, especially small thin ones.

    Wow, coppercoins, you have been quite busy!
  • Recently bought a Pan-Pac 50 cent commem

    It is "in the mail"

    Anyone care to gueestimate the grade from these pics?

    This WLH. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

    41P WLH
    US Navy CWO3 retired. 12/81-09/04

    Looking for PCGS AU58 Washington's, 32-63.
  • Welcome to the forums, Snoodle.

    The coin looks fairly mark free with the exception of a few scuffs off to the left on the obverse. I can't get a handle on the luster. I'd say MS 63 but again, it's hard to tell from the images.
  • Anaconda,
    Thank you. The obverse photo is my current desktop on my computer. I can't wait for it to arrive.

  • My last couple. A raw 1934 - D VAM 3 Peace Dollar that`s about an AU55 or so. The other is an original 1878 - S Trade Dollar graded by NGC as XF45. I showed off the Trade Dollar a few days ago in this thread: My new Trade Dollar came in. 1878 - S .

    I'm pretty crazy about this new Barber quarter

    image

    image

    I liked it so much, I broke it out of the PCGS holder and pushed it into a hole in my album image

    I'm really pumped about this three cent nickel that Dpoole was nice enough to sell to me this last Saturday:

    image

    I've wanted one for about ten years and have only reciently put myself into a possition where I could own one without having to make sacrifices elsewhere in my collection. It's a super nice example. I'd rank my happyness in owning this coin on par with the purchase of my first MS 09-SVDB. ...and that's saying a lot!

    LoL! I wasn't going to be home when it closed, either,
    decided to place a pretty high proxy before i went to the beach party.

    3 bidders bid it up while I drank beer and played volleyball;
    got home, not expecting to have won it, was pleasantly surprised to still be on top.

    seller's photos; coin looks better in hand and even better than that without the plastic image

    thanks ccr and PofL image

    Always wanted a proof gold coin. Kinda cool to have one that is from before the Civil War.

    Got this partial mint set of 54-S coins a few months ago and submitted the dimes and quarters a few weeks ago and I am psyched about the grades! The quarters have colors like the dimes in person. mike image

      Recent acquisitions that I am psyched about are:

      1. An 1880 S PL Morgan, MS 63-64 which is the first coin to take up residence in my U.S Type Set Dansco album;

      2. A 1964 DCAM Proof Kennedy, PF 68, which I found in an original proof set and which is also sitting in my U.S. Type Set Album; and

      3. A 1954 DCAM Proof Frankie, PF 67, which I picked up in a Capital Holder at the June Long Beach show and which is sitting in my 1950-1963 set of CAM Proof Frankies.


    • From the ANA. This has been submitted to PCGS for grading (I think that it is a genuine proof, 1 of only 103 struck):

      I picked up a clipped 1916-D cent in VF recently, it was the first coin to go into my date set in about four months. I forgot to image it, though.
