Post one of your recent pickups that you just can't stop thinking about

coinsarefun

In these trying times, at least for me.... a bunch of personal things going on......nuff said
Let's see one of your more recent pickups that you are just in LOVE with


For me, since I have been selling a heck of a lot more than buying these past months. I found this one a few weeks back raw at a local coin show.
And to think I almost forgot to go to the show, but my bf reminded me

I wasn't even looking for it because I never thought it existed. Yet there it sat under the glass. I got all excited like it was my first date
There it was a toned Feuchtwanger Cent, heart was a pounding I couldn't grab it fast enough out of the dealers hand, he must have thought I was a crazy woman.......ha!! he is partially right


Well most probably have already seen this before but I can't stop thinking about it. I have the image on my computer, Ipad, Iphone.......

a clipped and toned FT?? Who would have thunk? I really haven't bought much lately

illini420

I bought this one yesterday at the Glendale Coin Club show in Van Nuys, CA. Been looking for a nice 1909-S USPI 50 centavos for a very long time and this was the first one that wasn't salt-water damaged or that wasn't a very low grade beat up coin... thought it looked pretty nice and the price wasn't too crazy:



Been thinking about it since I got it Keep thinking what it might grade if I sent it to PCGS... I'm thinking maybe a 50/50 shot between AU55 and Genuine .91 Questionable Color.

Great idea for a thread!

Here's mine:

Twinturbo

1921-D
took me a while to find this one, ultimately she was right under my nose when I bought her last week




1921-P
Bought this one a while back now all I need is the S

Tiny

Got this one a few weeks back and I keep looking at the picture since it's in the SDB.
Nice addition to my Hoard or Hoards & Collections.

I don't have anything to post, but I must say, that is sweet. Have you ever gotten towed?

Nice
I haven't been able to find an affordable 21-S in years.
It will be a great PDS toned set once you get a 21-S

Thanks, it has made my year

Twinturbo

That is very true.
Every one ive seen for sale is a tremendous price or not eye appealing, lacking true color etc.
Ones Ive found raw always have pastel colors, or are just lightly toned or oddly toned. Nothing appealing either.
However I may just pay moon money soon for one

Stefanie,
Your old Feuchtwanger is my new love
I don't have any good pics of it yet, and I don't want to rip off yours, but when I get some nice pics, I'll put em up
Feuchtwanger power!!!

Thank you and no not yet. I saw a video of a pro fisherman on a catamaran foot peddle kayak with a sail towing his buddy in a kayak because the wind was right. His ride was unbelievable.

Wow, that 1800 NGC Dollar is gorgeous!

Here's a newp I picked up this weekend I'm pretty excited about.

I almost hate to post this inexpensive coin with all the beautiful coins already posted but I think I am beginning to like this coin a lot. By the way, got it from Lord M on the BST.

1786 VERMONT COPPER -
RYDER 10

PCGS No: 551

Rarity: Very Scarce

Variety equivalents:
Breen 715, Crosby 2-A, Breen-Bressett 8-G

Notes:
This was the only use of the obverse die.

This was the only use of the reverse die.

Breen called this variety "R-5" in the 1975 EAC Pine Tree Sale. Bressett estimates the number extant to be 60-70 pieces. The true number is probably closer to 100 or more (a Vermont specialist once showed me over a dozen nice examples of this variety).

On the surface, Bressett's Condition Census of 20-12 appears to be somewhat low. The principal objections to the Census are raised by collectors who own some nicely detailed early states. Almost invariably, however, the Ryder 10 comes with significant detractions such as planchet voids, granularity, porosity, undersized planchets, poor centering, etc. The Ryder 10 is seldom found nice and examples on glossy, brown planchets are incredibly rare. Thus, Bressett's average grade of 12 for the second through the sixth finest known examples is reasonable, although the finest known example would probably have a net grade in the 30-40 range.

Observed weight range: 101.6 to 123.2 grains

Die states:
Early examples show strong legends and reasonably sharp design details (see Bressett plate coin). Well struck early examples infrequently show a single wheat sheaf on the reverse (see Picker and EAC '75). Late states show a fin crack running upwards from the E in VERMON into the left obverse field. Design definition suffers on later issues.

STONE

The NewP I "can't stop thinking about" is currently in the mail, on its way to me.

...and while it is even uglier than Ambro's colonial copper, it fills a KEY hole in one
of my collections, even if it is a DOG (not to be confused with "Dirty Old Gold").

I will post a pic when it arrives

For me, this was an exciting pick-up even though it's just modern bullion. It took me almost 4 months to acquire it one coin at a time with the OGP.

In honor of my 100th post, and also having a lot of "stuff" going on in my life, here is mine! Not to copy Stefanie, but I can't stop thinking about this one! (It was Stefanies at one point too )

A recent purchase is not one coin but seven.

The pic is the seller's until I can get some new family photos.

I love my "End Of Pain." farthing even with the reverse planchet flaw.

That is pretty sweet Gman! I have a similar Pain token and It's definitely one of my favorites!

Steph, that thing is crazy awesome!

Great coins everyone. My favorites so far are Steph's Cent, fivecents' CBQ, etexmike's Proof Walkers (wow!), and braddick's Bust Dollar.
