New Purchases - Thanks to Russ - Pic

I just wanted to send out a public thank you to Russ and everyone else that posts to this board for opening my eyes. I have learned so much these past few months. My learning experience here has probably saved me a few thousand dollars in mistakes and has even made it a bit profitable, if I could pull the trigger to sell some things.

Today I walked into the coin shop that I have complained about in the past and spent an hour. This is the shop that tries to steal peoples coins from them by offering almost nothing for them. I picked up several coins for my various Danscos that I am filling and the following.

54 Proof Lincoln - slight cameo, but high grade
62 proof lincoln - Deep cameo, very high grade
A few very high grade FB toned Roosies
Several Proof Deep Cam, Rossies from the 65-70, very high grade

Last but not least I picked up the following, thus the thanks to Russ for opening my eyes to this variety. It's at least Cameo maybe better once I get it out of the plastic. The white spots are on the plastic, coin is very sharp looking, I'd say 66+. Paid $9 for this set.

    cha~ching!!!
    Many happy BST transactions
  • For the Rossie fans:

    Here are a couple of the dimes. I wish my scanner could show the real colors.

    1948-D - Wonderful Golden yellow with hints of rose color
    1956 - Blue and Rose with a little green around the edges
    1946-S - Blue/green with a little rose color

    I may also add that they seem to be high grade, all with FB.

  • That's what some people call "new purchases." Annoying little bit 'o coin lingo, if you ask me.
