Where did you land that baby I looked at 20 stores/Ebay/Heritage could only find 2...the one I purchased in VG-08 and another in F-15 both PCGS. They where asking 469$ for the F-15. So how where able to land a VF-25 that low....do you have pics?

You mean the Tripled Blossoms and leaves in Liberty's headdress,and the reverse with doubled legs and an extra 5 small tailfeathers. Is that the one you mean? >>

Anything new ? I'm looking for a nice AU '96-S Morgan. Tough find. And my customer will crack it out for his album Tried squeezing DLRC on eBay. That isn't working.
96-S in AU is a tough find.
Took me quite a long time to locate one, especially in a PCGS Slab.
I had to "pay up" for this one and I did when I had the opportunity.
PCGS AU58 CAC
I just bought another commem. Stupid things are addictive. A few years ago I vowed never to buy one. Now, I've got high-grade examples of half of them.
I’m down to the really tough ones.
The 93-s Morgan
Maybe a 16-d Mercury
Or, the 16 DDO Buffalo?
I have also been thinking about getting a $10 No Motto Indian…
Just not sure!

I’ve come so close to falling into that trap (poor word choice- it’s a great series no disrespect) sitting at Bonnie’s table looking at all the beautiful toned commems- so far I have been able to resist……
I'm in selling mode to get rid of the rest of my Small Cent collection and I'll likely sell off a few Morgan Dollars to fund my summer purchases...
Top 3 on my Want List:
7070 Type Set... probably a Seated "Something"... there are a bunch I'm still missing...
Large Cent for the Middle Date set: 1823 in VF
Box of 20: something relatively inexpensive... especially if I buy one of the above!
Collecting: Dansco 7070; Middle Date Large Cents (VF-AU); Box of 20;

Bonnie has some nice stuff. At a Vegas invitational I was so VERRRRRRRRY tempted by an unworldly Stone Mountain commem. The color and luster were tremendous. It was priced very strongly, but probably appropriately. Try finding another one like it. The next day it was gone.

If I get one, I’m sure I’ll want them all! Gateway coin!
This happened to me! I was opposed to the idea of commems and I generally don't collect coins "made for collectors." No proofs in my collection, for instance.
But, as luck would have it, I found out my first cousin, four-times removed is Cyrus Dallin, designer of the Pilgirm. Well, I had to have one of those....... Yup. From the 1920 it was a short slide to the 1921, and from there to a really pretty Oregon Trail. See, I live a few miles from the trail and wagon ruts in the rocks can still be seen in some places.......

Haha I hear you! Nice coins and nice presentation! I am not nearly so gifted when it comes to computer graphics!
I have a 1867 IHC in AU 55 on hold on my local coin shop, that's the next numismatic purchase I am making. Although I may pick up 10 Silver Dimes and a Maple Leaf or Philharmonic before the IHC.
There is no way of knowing because I don’t know what will become available. I would like it to be something that expands my 1936 to 1942 Proof set collection, but it’s slow going.
The cents I need, which are neither of the 1936 coins, get priced to the moon (for something that not all that important) at auction.
I found one Mercury Dime that needed, but the dealer wanted way over the “Coin Facts” price and way, way over the recent auction results.
The quarters I need are usually not worth the slabbing fees, and too many coins are covered with a thick layer of film from the celluloid sleeves where they were stored. This includes some coins with CAC stickers.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
For me it will be a modern coin.
First aim is a Kennedy of course.
Still need some 2022 pr70 proof set coins and thirdly, The American Innovation coins also in pr70 Dcam and reverse proofs in pr70.

Another coin type I don’t have but really want is the Draped Bust Half Dollar. The 1805-07 coins are affordable and they are beautiful, historic coins. Gotta look for an original piece with a good strike as many of them are not.
"You can't get just one gun." "You can't get just one tattoo." "You can't get just one 1796 Draped Bust Large Cent."
I don't know what my next coin purchase will be but I'll know it when I see it.

I’m trying to finish my Indian half eagle collection. More than likely that’s where my money will go.
I have a 1867 IHC in AU 55 on hold on my local coin shop, that's the next numismatic purchase I am making. Although I may pick up 10 Silver Dimes and a Maple Leaf or Philharmonic before the IHC.
My current registry sets:
20th Century Type Set
Virtual DANSCO 7070
Slabbed IHC set - Missing the Anacs Slabbed coins
I have no idea.
Usually when I buy something, it is the first time that I have ever seen it. That is what makes it soooo fun
There is no way of knowing because I don’t know what will become available. I would like it to be something that expands my 1936 to 1942 Proof set collection, but it’s slow going.

It seems the CRO early bird email always tells me what my next purchase HAS to be!
