What is your most recent purchase?

Here is mine -

An 1855-O Seated Liberty Half.

I would like to get your thoughts and see your newest toy.

Where is the reverse?

bosco5041 · October 17, 2014 4:43AM

Nice coin. I seen that coin on the NE website and if I had not already used up my budget, that coin would have been mine instead of yours.

On the back, silly!

That's a very sweet half dollar, Yorkshireman! Great pick-up.

This is my most recent buy.

I purchased this last weekend at the Bellaire (Houston) Coin Show.

1827 - Square Base 2 (O-106) - Capped Bust Half Dollar - PCGS AU-55

lordmarcovan · October 17, 2014 5:06AM

That's a killer Seated half, Yorkshireman.

Collector of British coins AND 19th Century US type, eh? You must be my "brother from another mother", because I've long been passionate about both.

PS- DennisH- that Morgan has THE look I like in a Morgan dollar. (The magic mintmark don't hurt, either.). I have never collected Morgans aside from the odd type coin, but if and when I ever do, it will be grey circs with that look. I actually prefer that look to most MS Morgans' look, believe it or not. At least until you start talkin' DMPLs.

And Lance's Bust half has a definite "OMG" factor which makes me jealous.

Lance,

For fear of sounding like a member of the "19th century half dollar mutual admiration society", you never stop amazing me with your great looking Bust halves.

Thanks, LM, for the kind words.

We have to be related somehow. I do have lots of English blood running thru my veins.

TommyType · October 17, 2014 5:36AM

Not in hand yet.

PCGS MS-62:

Not a "monster" by any stretch. But I thought it had a pretty good strike for the type, a natural look, and a minimum of distractions from cracks and die erosion.

coindudeonebay · October 17, 2014 5:44AM

Lance, that bustie is spectacular.

My photos seem to have been pulled off.
They were copyrighted by the dealer from whom I bought the coin.
I did get permission to post them, but the seller told me "If bought the coin, you bought the picture."

Sorry you can't see my picture. The coin is a beauty.

They are back.

sparky64 · October 17, 2014 7:02AM

I remember what it looked like and it's fantastic.
Love the halo type toning, etc... Eye appeal all day long.

Edit. When I started to post, no pics. Finished post, they're back. Just like I remember.

bsshog40 · October 17, 2014 7:05AM

Nothing special, but my latest.

messydesk · October 17, 2014 7:44AM

Nice stuff here. I don't have this one in hand yet. Need to polish up the slab and take a better picture.

Great 1835 B-7 Quarternut!

Here is my latest, though I did already post it in another thread...

GeorgeKellogg · October 17, 2014 10:00AM

Here's mine, purchased at the recent BRNA Show in Dalton, GA. This piece is also the latest addition to my Lorne Greene Label Ponderosa Carson City Type Set.

lordmarcovan · October 17, 2014 10:09AM

Yorkshireman- perhaps the temporary outage of your pictures was a timely reminder to save them and upload them to your own host, before they vanish on you.

If you haven't already, that is.

I am a poor to mediocre coin photographer, so I am an inveterate recycler of previous owners' photos.

Save 'em before they're gone, 'cause they're nice pix of a nice (and perhaps tough to photograph) coin.

Great looking "original" coin from a great seller!

Great 1835 B-7 Quarternut!
Thanks! As I stated, very tough to find a nice no problem one in AU...

Still trying to figure out why the 1921 cent graded 64

Bless you, kind sir.
Virtually not a mark. Why indeed.
