Still 2016 here in Seattle....
I bought a 2017-dated Australian coin a few weeks ago. Does that count?

I already know what it's going to be as soon as I get my eBay bucks!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Tough break. Hard to compete with the Kiwis and Aussies this time.

Andy, you know what I am after. Please help!

I know what it's going to be but if I told you I'd have to kill you...
I know too but it will be the end of the week.
I'll be on my way to a local auction in a few hours but I dought I'll be the first one. I will let you now if I get what I'm hoping to though.
I see what`s going on here...
My payment should arrive (snail mail) for a 1881 $5 Liberty yesterday or Tuesday...yep...another variety. I can't seem to shake this infatuation.

I stumbled across these and bought two.
They are 5 oz. silver so they would have some heft to them. I'm going to keep them on my desk so I can stack and play with them. At least that's my justification for now.
Does finding a Mexican 1945 gold 2 pesos at around 12:50am count? It was in a long-unsearched box of what I assumed (almost fully correctly) would be worthless stuff from when I first started collecting.
It could be a FUN auction coin.....we will see.
Hey! NOSTALGIA! I remember when dos pesoses were THE way to small bullion.
I think it was Marcus Reaves in Santa Cruz who used to bring a DISHPAN full to the shows.
But they were WAY too expensive! I mean who had 8 dollars for a Mexican coin?
Probably NYINC for me but I do have a few coins bought in 2016 in my PO box in England waiting for me when I land tomorrow
Latin American Collection
I choose this for toning and surfaces... Beautiful!!!
Put in a best offer last night and accepted this New Year Morn.
After looking past tons of blonds this brunette came calling. Not collecting the series but some of these have a weird special glow in the design with the right patina. Big fan.
And just realized its 1917/2017
Nice crusty quarter!
I have sold my first coin of 2017.
Guess it qualifies. Bought last night and will get this year. You should recognize

it as it was on the BST...
Picked up a 2015-S silver Kennedy half on eBay this morning for about $23. There's a chance it will be the lowest mintage proof Kennedy half, dethroning the 2012-S silver Kennedy that sells for a much higher price.

Overdate we think alike, I picked this up today:
2015-S Silver Proof Kennedy Half Dollar PCGS PR70DCAM FIRST STRIKE-Free Shipping
Item price $99.95
Quantity 1
Item number
Shipping service Standard Shipping
I bought this at the stroke of midnight....

Preferring to go the cheap route, I just picked up a PR69 First Strike for $29.99. I think we will both do very well.

My first purchase of 2017 will probably be at the NYINC next week unless e-Bay offers a 8X or 10X promotion.
I have been getting 8 and 10x promotions several times a week.
Can't find anything I want that qualifies.
Lost my father-in-law on Dec 27.


Great man, always treated me as a son. He will be always be missed.
Bought this birthyear 1937 in honor of him.
Wont be here til Tuesday tho.

jalexfoster. That's a nice looking coin. What is the supposed "problem?"

That area in the obv field?
Sharp appearance.
@Jalexfoster... Welcome aboard... and nice coin... Cheers, RickO
Nice seated dollar Jalexfoster! Welcome.
These are some sketchy quick cell phone shots of a coin for which I just mailed payment on Saturday. It'll probably be 10 days before I get it in hand since the dealer is headed to FUN, but it's by far the largest purchase I've made to date.


My first purchase will be like metal detecting. You don't know what you will find and you don't know when. My choice would be a PO01 Classic Commemorative
Lafayette Grading Set
Still waiting on something to catch my eye.
Want it to be nicer than anything I currently have in my collection. I'm prepared to wait it out.
Well, technically the sixth purchase of '17 since I bought a bunch of nickels from FUN but one with some nice toning:
My Type Set & My Complete Proof Nickel Set!
Nothing special, but it's still the first purchase for 2017.
Good pickup! I bought something on that auction and was watching that but wanted to go to bed instead. Sold for cheaper than I expected.
@MorganMan94 At the right price, anything is worth buying, as was the case with this coin.
hmm. i found a mex 2.5 peso for $.09 in '17.
gratz to u.
my first in '17 though, a 92-o $1 in xf, cleaned for $35. im quite stoked.

Whizzed and "repaired"
