It just arrived in todays mail and I love both of them.
NY (C1852) NEW YORK R-NY-NY-19 P.T. BARNUM
This is one of the more common and perhaps earliest issued for Tom Thumb. Obverse shows
him standing beside two books. Above "General Tom Thumb" Below"15lbs. weight"
Reverse is a very good imitation of the quarter dollar from 1807-1837, except this has no date.
While in England it is known that he had the same obverse but with Queen Victoria on the reverse.
Both struck in brass.

NY 1837 NEW YORK HT-240 CENTRE MARKET

I must say that this looks better than AU58. Love the small amount of red peeking through on the reverse.

Under $10 each
Cool looking token. Not my normal item but the photo lesson on pcgs recently got me interested
And this is a MS 1944 D/D for under $10 cherry picked off eBay.

Sorry, I did forget to explain that one. Yes it is quite common.......I think R1
But for an au58 it was has to pass up.

Dayumm, I just knew it was going to be an 1870 dated coin.
Seriously, nice detail and look for a 58.
Very nice!
Again, a lot of nice new numismatic purchases here, I like them

Realized this week that I needed more copper in my collection so I added these to my type set.... Nothing too exciting but here they are
Successful trades.... MichaelDixon,
Last couple week's Ebay cherry picks. It was a GOOD couple weeks!
1) 1876 Trade $1 Type 2/2 (was in an 1876 Type set T$1, 1/2, 1/4, dime)
2) 1873-CC Trade $1 (listed as P mint)
3) 1918/7-S SLQ (listed as a regular "S", second one in past 3 months)

It's raw but just look at that strike and luster. For a type 2 I do believe it's a great score. At least I like it
I went to a show with my family in February and bought this. Outside of some bullion, it's the only thing I've picked up for my collection since January of 2016.
A bit unusual for me, I went to Baltimore and ended up buying three coins for my 7070. That is maybe how many I average in a year for it.
Please excuse the orientation differences in my shots...and I can't figure out how to photograph darker copper just yet. Both of the coppers are a nicer, more chocolatey brown color than my pictures would suggest.
raw from Civitas Galleries
raw from Charmy, but I didn't introduce myself properly.
and, probably heresy, I cracked this one out of a PCGS slab to finish the gold page out. I'm blanking on the dealer's name but he's in one of The Penny Lady's photos as one of her friends.
Quite a good trip for me for US stuff.
My newest purchase in 3 years is hopefully going to be here today...!
here is my new purchase a 1953s PCGS graded MS67 toned dime

Looks prooflike.
Crazy eye appeal. Frosty with flashy mirrors and lots of die polish lines. Surprised it didn't get a star. 1 of 2 in PL.
Very flashy mirrors.
For a good customer
