Phew, that's one long title, huh? Well, I'm getting married next year and it turns out that's not free. Who knew? I'm also re-focusing my collecting goals, so I'm cleaning house. It's a little sad to be offering some of these, but I know they'll make their next owners as happy as I've been.
As for pics, some are Becoka's great work, some are the original seller's average work and some are my very mediocre work.
Now for the boring stuff: all prices include fully insured, registered mail. I cannot accept Paypal on these, so checks or money orders only please. I'm pretty firm on the prices as on most of the coins I'm asking what I paid + shipping. I've had many successful BST transactions and never had a return.
And off we go:
1896-S Barber Quarter PCGS VF20 Purchased from JJTeaparty about 2 1/2 years ago. Here's their original picture and, hopefully, a better one as well. It is a nice, dirty gray example with no distractions. $sold
1877 Indian Cent PCGS XF45. This is one of those "fresh to the market" coins as I bought it about 15 years ago. It was originally in an OGH, but - before I knew what the heck I was doing - I had it reholdered to match my other PCGS holders
It's a beautiful chocolate brown with killer eye appeal if I do say so myself...much nicer in hand than in my pics. $sold
1916-D Mercury Dime PCGS XF45 I bought this from JJ Teaparty about 18 months ago. My pics aren't awesome, but this coin is killer. I've seen other 45s that are washed out and/or stripped of their original color and life. Not so with this piece: awesome dirty gray appearance with no distractions and even some luster in the protected areas. $sold
1876 20 Cent Piece PCGS XF45 This is a DLRC purchase. It's a very nice gray example that's well struck. VERY minor rim bump on the obverse at the 9th star. $sold
1836 Reeded Edge Half Dollar PCGS F15 A very nice original and unmolested piece. Whatever the real mintage is, this is a cool coin! $sold
1995 Double Die Lincoln PCGS MS67RD. Looks exactly like you'd expect it to: $sold
1819 ICG VF35...nice crusty gray coin: $sold
1830 XF...perfect look (IMHO), couple very minor ticks on the obv above Liberty's head: $sold
1909-S Indian Cent PCGS MS64RB Again, fresh to the market as this was purchased about the same time as the '77 listed above. And again, I had it reholdered from the OGH it was originally in. Becoka's pics really make it pop, but it does have a few minor carbon spots. $sold

Also, congrats on getting hitched
....getting married next year and it turns out that's not free.
That's what In-Laws-to-be are for.
Oh well, congrats on the marriage thing, just wait till the kids come along, I would imagine that's about when the gold will be up here too.
<< <i>What, no classic gold? >>
Nope, I'm hanging onto that piece....for now.
I've added some new pics....up up and away!
Good luck!!!

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
TTT!
<< <i>Great coins, too bad you have to dump them. Cost my wife and I $40 to get married, City Hall, so we took the $12,000 or so we had saved up and bought a house instead of 1 day of memories. We definately did the right thing. Anyway, regarding the 20 cent....is that really a bump, cuz it sure looks like it may be a cud! >>
We did something similar and had a pot luck for the reception. Worked out great and we did not spend a dime on food.
Anyway, this will probably be my last bump for awhile. I'll let this thread die and hang onto the coins...if someone finds this thread by searching they can PM me...I'll probably still have the coins
