    Amusing to see all those books entitled "Complete guides..." that are incomplete on the topics they cover.

    Does this lazy use of the language bother you, Mr. Feld, like it bothers me? ;)

    That is a very nice example of a very tough WB-12 indeed.

    @Southcounty, make sure you warn CAC ahead of your submission. They may run out of stickers if you don't.

    Amazing that a TPG would miss a '40-(O) or botch recognizing a '39 ND from a '39 w/D. Were you looking for one or did you stumble into one? The tar-black VF20 40-(O) above was not described as such in its eBay auction, but at least two bidders recognized it, and it closed near market value at that time. Not a sweet cherry. One would think a dealer would catch that, but not all dealers are knowledgeable about coins.

    I once called an eBay dealer about an EDS, dipped AU 55/54 with hairlines listed as a 55 normal date to check for die polishing lines around the eagle. I didn't want a dipped, cleaned coin but a dipped coin was OK for a pick. They confirmed lots of die lines and random hairlines but no cleaning "rash" of parallel lines. Then I got cocky and asked them to check around the date for die lines. They didn't notice the strong overdate staring back at them.

    @Barberian most of my better cherry picks have come from dealer inventory, if they show up on eBay usually someone else will notice, although my last 39-O no drapery labeled as a with drapery was off of eBay, however it was also cleaned and most folks don't look too closely at cleaned or damaged coins.

    It looks crusty and colorful, a good candidate for the rusty car toning thread.

    It has been a little while for me, I finally have something to post in this thread again. A few recent pickups for the homemade albums. I'm 29 coins away from completing the half dime set 1829-1873.

    Let me know if you like that layout/format. I've been building up my own website and will have an online shop too.

    Very attractive album. The 1886-s dime and 1867 quarter are tough coins. I feel the 86-s is undervalued.

    This one says, just buy me! Very wholesome low mintage date!

    Thanks! There aren't many circulated 1879s out there. QDB estimates 200-300, and mostly in VF or higher (QBD, Guide Book to Seated SIlver Coins). I like them in any grade, but lower grade '79 coins have that "working coin" look and appeal to me and my wallet, and are condition rarities themselves when so many were saved in MS and PR. I grade this coin at F12.

    @Leeroybrown had two nice Fine 1879s. The other was a two-toned coin. This coin was my preference, and like a genie, he granted my wish and I'm very grateful. The dilemma I have now is do I have low enough morals to crack it out of its small, white ANACS holder and submit it to PCGS.

    I thought of your set when I saw that show up on eBay, a nice addition and it happens to be one of my favorite dates and mints for seated liberty coinage.

    Major upgrade.


    Nice upgrade Don!

    That coin sold a few months ago in the DLRC auction of "Helen's quarter collection."

    Congrats for that one as well Don!

    @Catbert Wow! One has to see the video for this coin. If that video was part of the sales pitch to begin with, I might be showing it off.

    I know, right? Seems like a 63 to me.

    Two new EF40 additions, one has arrived already. I'm waiting on the other to arrive.

    I'm keeping this coin warm for @Leeroybrown . A very eye-catching coin. Nice luster for an EF40.

    From the coal mines of San Francisco.

    Nice toning all around!
