Numismatic peculiarities...what's yours?

I only like Morgan Dollars that are blast white. Keep the rainbows in fairyland and the toners on the beach. But, I dislike any other US coin that is white. Any other type of US coin(pre 64) has to have toning for me to like it. What's up with that?

Did you at least get the Seated Liberty you were looking for? Let me know when you graduate to Morgans,or buy another shop because you were looking for a Morgan.

Maybe I don't understand English, but where do you find the ones that are only partially there ? Pieces of coins ?

A coin for the budget-conscious collector. The piece has original surfaces, save for an old cleaning and polishing. For accuracy's sake, we note that the reeded edge has been expertly re-engraved, leading us to suspect that a jewelry loop was once attached. We also feel that the piece may have been sweated, as it is ever so slightly underweight and both sides are peppered with contact marks. Although the piece was probably dipped at one time, it is now beginning to retone in quite attractive hues. The surfaces have been expertly smoothed to minimize all but the heaviest gouges, although a few rim dings are still visible, which serve for identification purposes. The coin has a slightly matte appearance, possibly due to the effects of seawater immersion. The coin should be examined in person, as it has much more eye appeal than the technical description would suggest.

I bought nearly a thousand dollars worth of foreign coins today. None were in PCGS or NGC holders, but they might be soon.

I agree with BK here. I really could care less about UNC coins. Give me a VF any day of the week over an MS coin.

Cleaned coins don't bother me, as long as it's not too severe. (IE, no polishing)

Agree---especially staple scratches from someone carelessly removing a coin from a 2X2.

<< <i>This has more to do with coin publishing books. I never could understand why Redbook ( many other books as well, i don't only want to pick on R.B. ) comes out with a " new " book every year? When in reality, every price stays the same, just about.
You have got to be kidding. Trust me, if YOU owned this cow, YOU would be milking it just as much.
I also like when they have "test marks" such as small scratches and digs, and sometimes even contemporary holes and grafitti.

<< <i>I enjoy receiving an auction lot or some other dealer purchase and opening it with childlike anticipation, then repackaging it complete with the coin and receipt inside taped backed up and then open it up again to try to recapture the initial thrill I had when I first received it. I sometimes sleep with my coins as well. >>
