1875-S/CC won at an E-bay auction as a regular 1875-S. Will only get into a genuine holder if ever submitted due to a cut into the reverse, but still a decent example for around $150
Unless something crazy happens, my last one was last night. Just need confirmation it went thru as the website was wonky. Really excited about it though.

I just got one of these, just like yours, back in early November. My actual last coins of 2012 were three MS64-65 Walkers from the 40's AND a coin I have wanted for a long time, a no problems VG 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar. Not able to take photo's however and my scans never look that good. Happy New Year to all, Pete

Two British farthings: a 1919 PCGS MS65 RD, and a 1929 PCGS MS65 RD secure. Don't have the cert number of the latter to post its image, but I have the seller's image of the 1919 (of which BTW, he bought a bunch of ten raw pieces, that graded 3x 63RD, 3x 64RD, 3x 64RB and a single 65RD).
Don't have a pic yet but looks like my final purchase of 2012 is going to be a 1/2 dime - go figure!
Gone but not forgotten: IGWT, Speedy, Bear, BigE, HokieFore, John Burns, Russ, TahoeDale, Dahlonega, Astrorat, Stewart Blay, Oldhoopster, Ricko, Big Moose, Cardinal, CoinsAreFun.
Well...this is the last coin of the year to reach the PO box. There are a couple more on the way, and a deal I just about got done today, but will have to finish up on Wed... This ones got a sweet liitle reverse crack that fits right in...
Oh yeah, John and Lance with back to back gorgeous AU overdates...pretty awesome way to wrap up 2012 !
Got these two just before the strike of midnight so I guess they are my last for 2012 BUT in buying these I have decided to start for 2013 a Short Set of Walkers in the old ANACS holders in MS 65. Now, 2 down and 18 more to go and if they ever made one like PCGS did for their rattlers I'll be lokking for a ANACS holder to put thise 20 in.
Well, pulled the trigger on Dec 31 and it's on the way and expected Friday, not sure if that counts as last purchase of 2012 or first of 2013, but this will be my first type2 gold dollar and fill another spot in the type set (seller's scan, gtg)
My last purchase was a 1935-s Walking Liberty Half --- ICG AU-55. I usually stick to PCGS graded coins, but this one is nice enough for my collection. Here is the link for the coin: 1935-S ICG AU-55 Hlalf

This is a newly discovered date as up until now none have been known dated beyond 1819 on a capped bust quarter.

PS- SmEagle1795- YOU SUCK!
There are lots of envy-inducing coins posted here, but to my eyes, none so much as yours. I have wanted an aureus for years and years.
I'd probably have to liquidate almost my entire numismatic inventory to get one as nice as that. One day I might have one in lesser grade.

Don't have it in hand yet,This is seller's pic. He says streak on obv is a shadow and not on coin.
Hope it looks better in hand!
