What did you buy in January?

Baley

these arrived last month:













I'm curious to see what other collectors are getting for their sets

this is the thread to show off your NEWPS! (blech that word)

stman

I like the Busties Baley. They even got some "Original" on them. As far as that word you used at the end....

Never-mind, I don't want to upset myself.

I don't have any pictures (yet), but I was able to close deals on three nice lots of clips. I upgraded close to a dozen coins in my date set in a trade for a clipped half-dime and Barber dime; I bought back a bunch of early dates and traded for a big date-set addition from a fellow breaking up a set; and I also bought nearly a roll of common Lincoln clips and half a roll of silver dime clips from a local dealer. Mad Marty isn't the only one scouting out error hoards. Oh yeah, I also scored a clipped Standing Liberty Quarter off Teletrade.

I can see February being a very quiet month

I was expecting to see a 1802 bust half, Baley. I've been keeping an eye out for one. In the past month I've seen only one and it was $6k.

Nice purchases.

USAROK

I picked up these 3 in January and a couple more that I don't have images of yet.

Sorry for posting twice but I forgot I had a picture of this January arrival. The luster on it is just outstanding (Note that I avoided using the "D" word to describe the luster. It was difficult, but I somehow managed to keep control of myself. ).

I just received a 1926-s P65 Peace dollar from Larry Whitlow. Blast white with a great strike and luster. Was very pleased.

This was an addition to my Dansco type set. I really like the character of the chopmarks and their historical context.

Nice coins, everyone. I especially like the 1794 large cent.

I purchased 6 coins in the wake of fun. Here's one:

Altho I had planned to buy NOTHING in Jan., I ended up buying 4 of the Westward Journey sets - and glad I did - - some circ Mercs and an AU '52 Frankie, a Sulphur Butterfly/Canadian Mint, more circ Mercs, a roll of no-date Buffs, a few circ Wheats and something else, I can't remember - oh yea, a small bag of WI quarters. I also ordered, but haven't received the P and D Sac rolls. I think I also bought a couple another darkside coin, but can't remember.

For Feb, I am working on an AU Oregon commem. half, maybe more circ Mercs if I get to town, and saving most money for major buy on the Bison nickels - from bank and mint.

March - ok - let's not go there. I'll probably be broke.

Edited to add: Also got a Pentium 4 computer. I put the flat panel monitor in layaway.

These two.

I was very proud of myself. I didn't buy any coins in Janurary (Well, maybe like $200 worth on Ebay, but nothing substantial). Hopefully I can keep that up through April or so.

I got interested in another series in January, and started working on that. I bought 10 Large Cents (1846-1855) all approximately grading Fine. I love a large, circulated coin that you can physical handle; it has character. Probably will try and complete a set or Large Cents now form 1816-1957. Am saving up, and will try and find a 1857 Large Cent in Fine this month. Will posts pics later on as the set nears completion.

One lowly coin. G4 25c.

Here are a couple more of my "odd-ball" 19th century political items.

For much of the rest of the 19th century after the Civil War, the Republicans tried to label the Democrats as the party that was responsible for the war. This was known as "waving the bloody shirt" after an incident when a pro-union newspaper editor was beaten and flogged. Soon there after a Republican senator brought what was said to be the editor's bloody shirt into Congress and held it up as an example of Democratic Party excesses.

Schuyler Colfax was the Speaker of the House during the Civil War and would be elected vice president of the United States with U.S. Grant in 1868. The obverse of this political piece shows a portrait of Colfax in very high relief. The reverse reads, "Loyalty shall govern what loyalty has preserved." The message was the Republicans had been loyal to the union during the Civil War and were entitled to win the election and govern the country while the Democrats deserved to lose because they had sympathized with the Rebels.




The second piece is a Democratic response. Horatio Seymour told his supporters that he did not want the Democratic presidential nomination, but in the rarest of all political events, the Democrats drafted him for the job anyway. This Seymour medalet speaks to the problems that Democrats faced in general, and he faced in particular. In 1863 Seymour, as New York state governor, had refused to fill his state’s draft quota because it was disproportionately high. Seymour’s argument had merit, but it has made him a controversial historical figure right down to the present day. Some historians claim that Seymour was a copperhead or southern sympathizer.



The reverse of this piece reads, “No North No South / Democratic Candt. for Prest. / The Union Inseparable.” Despite his efforts to divorce himself from the Rebel cause, Seymour lost the 1868 presidential election to Grant and thus became little more than a footnote in elective politics. There was even a radio commercial that made light of his historical obscurity a few years ago.

These issues might seem old and moldy now, but in 1868 they were just as hotly debated as the War in Iraq is today.

DennisH

213 circ. Walkers, 1,175 circ. Mercuries, and a 1565 Scotland Mary & Henry ryal from the Pittman collection.

Best Walker finds were a 1917-D (R) in AG, a 1942-S small S, a 1944-S/S that's not listed in the Fox book, and a 1946-S/S.

Best Mercury finds were... nothing.
