Copper For The Weekend

LeeG

Just got home from work and heating up some grub. Figured some folks may want to post some copper. Been doing some selling, so nothing new:

I have to take some new pics this weekend, but here is one to start....

I am really getting into these

rgCoinGuy

What is that reds? Pardon my ignorance, but that is pretty cool!

Conder tokens.... and once you start buying them there is no stopping . Great Britian's version of hard times tokens . There are hundreds of them . Don't know the exact dates but they range from the 1780's to early 1800's

rgCoinGuy

Very cool, thanks for the answer, I have recently started working on a Farthing type set, so that may be next!

I can see this guy on the side of the street with a top hat hawking his wares

NumisOxide

Cool conder's, here's my first one. Still gotta take my own set of pics.

Braddick, that off center is way cool. Or is it broad struck? What's up with the reverse? Was the "E" tooled?

Nothing exciting, decided to encapsulate my 83 Mint sets.

This was included in the 83 Philly Souvenir Set. I believe it's copper, has some weight to it.

Anyone know the significance of the date August 14, 1969?

Awesome pics guys.

Appreciate everyone posting their copper! Looks like a slow weekend for copper with folks in Balt. for the show. Hopefully some nice coins posted next weekend.

Naughty boy, Braddick! The off center strike detracts from the reverse lettering.
Here's a 1972 purchase that's newly photographed. I think it was a good buy. The photo doesn't fully capture the glossy fields as well as I'd have liked.

I got for my variety set, looks fantastic, but the thumb print on the rev is why its only a 64.

Got grades last night on three 1909 VDB DDO FS-012.1 and they all came back MS 63 RED. These will go on Ebay Sunday night. If you want to reserve one, PM me.

Finished up the IHC collection yesterday. Wow I had fun

The 1877 is a dark mahogany color that turns purple and blue when tipped in the light.(MS 70?) I can't get a decent pic of it, first is a camera shot and then scans...







When I get enough light to show the details, it washes them out. Can you tell I'm frustrasted with the camera right now?





And even filled one more hole in the Lincoln album...

rgCoinGuy

I forgot I even had this one, now I am only missing 2 to get to 1950 with the proofs....

nice lincolns, do i see a circular mark on the reverse of the first coin? its in the center of the coin thru the E and N in cents.its odd looking.

rgCoinGuy

Yeah, I got that one off ebay, and the guy made sure to point it out, it is weird, almost like a counter punch or something. Here is a bigger picture....

Edited to add: It almost looks like someone tried to turn it into a hybrid chain cent!

coinman420

good pic, yes i thought the mark looked deliberate.

Looks like someone took a Dremel Tool to it.
