    Nice coins Lee and Paul. I hope the 1915 works out for you as an MPL. Looks like a decent shot there. Here is one of my favorites from Dave's "Thunderbolt" collection I bought last week.

    David Kelly was kind enough to say he had picked this up a couple weeks ago, and would I like it, and of course I said yes. His images. Thanks, David.

    Nice '45 pharmer!

    Both of these have been posted here in the past, but not in a side by side (or top to bottom) comparison.

    I really enjoy this weekly thread. Sorry I don't have anything exciting,

    but I went through some 05 mint sets, and plucked out his gem.

    The coin of the moment. Purchased for $3.00 this spring, listed on eBay last week, sat in the doldrums, rose to $7.05 in the last hour or so, then, in the last three or four seconds....

    $346.00. image

    Cool coin My Lord, off the top of my head that's like a 10,000% profit.

    Lots of detail for a coin that is 338 years old.

    As far as the bidding goes, all the action is in the last 5 minutes.

    That kind of profit, deserves a "YOU SUCK"

    Here is the only graded early-date "S" mint that I own...Hope to change that in 2008!

    NGC AU58...The coin actually has an ample amount of mint luster remaining that my image does not capture. Need to reimage this one:

    Thanks Watersport!

    I bought that at this little jewelry/coin shop in 2005, about two years after I got back into coins. I had previously been in the shop in the late 80's when I was around ten years old, and there never seemed to be anybody there each time I went. I think the inventory in the shop is super stale, as many of the flips were yellow and crumbly. I'll bet dollars to donuts that I passed on this coin as a young boy, as it was a ridiculous price for such an ugly common date, $4.50! So when I bought it two years ago, I didn't even haggle on the priceimage

    here's one I finally took a pic of, got it from Wayne Herndon when I was in Baltimore this past Spring.

    Sometimes you spot something on a dealer's site that makes you go WOW! Not trying to promote the coin (or the dealer) but you gotta love this coin. My hat goes off to those who cared for this piece over the last 200 years - good job and thanks. Is this coin broadstruck, or just somwhat uncentered?

    Still waiting on this 1936 Type 3 DDO that was sent and received for a 5 day service on 11/20 at PCGS. Maybe they still have not broken it out of its SEGS holder yet???

    A new purchase yesterday, 1955 Triple S. The only one I've ever seen very dramatic triple S, pictures just don't
    show close-up of the S. Took the photo with a 10X close up lens. But detail still lacking.

    Hi Bob, I'm going to wait probably after the new year and send a few others along with it. I have a 55D
    Double Die I'll probably send along with it also. I got the results from the 64DDR it only went MS-64 RED
    I thought it had a shot at 65. Loose some win some. I did call back and had them run a Attribution
    designation on it though to fit it in the new Registry. The other five cross overs are still in the grading
    process.
