Actually, I didn't pick them up. My father did. He had to do the bidding for me last night because my brother was having a Halo party and the internet was disconnected at my mother's house so I had my father bid on them for me over at his house. That look to be a couple of gorgeous coins. What do you think of them?

My cable went out on Sunday night, so I couldn't bid on any coins
Now I'm going to have ice cream for breakfast to kill the pain

I like the little Ceylon piece. I'm sure everybody's tired of seeing the 1901 1/4 cent I bought for Victoria's collection, but I was so thrilled when I grabbed it for ten bucks or a little less, from an auction with a crappy picture, that I was really tickled pink.
And my wretched handheld-no-copystand-poorly-lit-first-try-with-the-digital-camera picture does it no justice at all.
This is how it looked on my flatbed scanner-even worse. Obviously the seller used a scanner, and his pic was even smaller than my scanner pic. No wonder I got a good score.
I can't help but wonder if this one might be a proof. If I had Darkhorse or Cosmic or one of these photographic gurus image it, it would really jump off the screen and grab you.
I get the feeling you are gonna like yours.
It's a teeny-tiny little thing.
That is a gorgeous coin, Rob.

Glad you like them! You are certainly building an eclectic mix coins in your collection.
