Well, it was like Christmas at the office today, I had packages from California, New York, Dallas, and Australia show up. Besides these 4 I also recieved a Geo. V 1/2d, 1887 Sov., and a couple of British Trade Dollars. But these are my favorites from the batch.
1806 Halfpenny, 3 berries reverse in 66RB.
1708 HB Brunswick-Luneburg 4 Marien Groschen in 62, very good luster under the toning:
1870 A Prussia 1 Silber Groschen in 68, an amazingly good strike considering the die was almost shot. There is a long die break on the reverse at the base of the letters in the legend, what appear to be marks on the coin are small toning spots and a couple of marks on the slab:
1893 Ceylon 10C in 66, with wonderful toning which once again I cannot capture correctly. And by the way I can justify buying this as being a British colony at the time, and I do actually collect British. And it was pretty.

It's just that I got my PCGS grades.

If I like a new purchase enough, it'll sit on my bedside table for a week or so, where I can gaze upon it fondly.
