This may prove interesting

not that I'm looking for Morgans any longer as I have one for my type set. But could not resist

Let's see yours.

1853/2 $10.

Still waiting for delivery as it's in transit in snowed-in Montreal

<< I like it, how strange (or stupid) that PCI puts how toned it is on the holder, but I like the eye appeal and the fact that I believe it is in one of the older holders! >>

It looks like its a 100% toned now

It may have some nice contrast

Here's my last purchase of 2012 - a Hadrian Aureus:

Straight melt from a pawn shop. No premium, no shipping and I could pick through it.
HNY,

I've got my eye on a coin in an eBay listing ending this evening, so if I don't win, this will have been my last purchase for my personal collection...

ANACS EF45 (haaa!), GR-1 R3

SkyMan · December 29, 2012 6:44AM

PCGS MS66

STONE · December 29, 2012 6:49AM

Easily one of the Top 10 finest for the die marriage:

Edited to add: I now own 3 of the top 10 finest problem-free examples of this die marriage (no, I'm not trying to hoard them...just coincidence!).

Still awaiting its arrival, but this was the penultimate. The last coin purchased in 2012 is still two to three weeks out.

BillJones · December 29, 2012 7:06AM

My last coin related purchase with the Andrew Jackson 1824 presidential campaign token I posted earlier. The last two coin purchases (same invoice) were these pieces:

1875-CC Twenty Cent Piece

1801 Bust Dollar

Nice 1883 No Cents Racketeer Nickel with reeded edge. Actually these are
very scarce as most are the plain edge for the nickel.

This one completed a Pine Tree type set (3-pence, 6-pence, large and small planchet shillings)

I would guess the toning is uniformly orange to brown, that is what I've seen happen in those old PCI holders. I have a Merc in one labeled "95% white" that is about 80% rust and purple now.

PCGS-35 recently acquired from a board member

Raw VF-30 and least attractive of the 3, but still not shabby

BryceM · December 29, 2012 8:01AM

Already posted this in another thread, but I still think it's nice:

Now THAT is a RARE coin! Congratulations on acquiring it!

AUandAG · December 29, 2012 8:15AM

I've had one other in 50 years of looking at them. I've had one that was reeded but
never plated as well. I think I sold (mabe gave away) that one to a forum member...

I think!

Thanks for the kind comment!

etexmike · December 29, 2012 8:29AM

Thought for sure this would be delivered today. I was wrong.

...putting together the 36 - 42 proof set in Pr 65 rattler holders...

tydye · December 29, 2012 8:37AM

I cant - there are still two more days left

Walkerfan · December 29, 2012 8:39AM

I was INSANELY lucky to find this 17 S Obv. in 64. The price range can be from 6000-11500 depending on quality. I had been searching for a good one for FIVE YEARS and found very little----Maybe one or two. My best purchase ever was this piece in Sept 2012!!

Elcontador · December 29, 2012 8:49AM

The only coin I bought in 2012 was a 1891 Nickel in PC 6 with a sticker. It was I believe in the Heritage Signature sale of July.

MidLifeCrisis · December 29, 2012 9:02AM

I don't remember...it was February or March.

It was either this one -

Or this one -

I got chicken and decided not to bid at the last minute! I am weird about the shape of the holders and saw glimpse of what may be a crack. I love PCI toners. That's an odd coloring. But it could be the photo and be a real gem in hand.

Constantine · December 29, 2012 9:39AM

Final purchase of the year thanks to Todd!

crypto79 · December 29, 2012 9:48AM

Choice slider for my core set!

OnlyGoldIsMoney · December 29, 2012 9:48AM

ambro51 · December 29, 2012 12:40PM

Mozin that Booker T is beautiful. A nice bright lustrous coin. Love it! ......newest arrival for me is Blacksmith Copper Wood 18.

Some lovely coins posted here friends!
Here's my most recent purchase......A gift to myself (and not a 64 either) but it completes my Peace set in Unc's now... Also have a nice 58 24-s.....

Type2 · December 29, 2012 3:35PM

I picked up a box full of errors around 500 mixed coins to end the year with a bing. This is a little tast of it.

stealer · December 29, 2012 3:45PM

Wow Peace dollars usually do nothing for me but that one is beautiful!
