Lets see some new purchases.

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.

That is a very well done copy of Liberty on the Tom Thumb token."If I say something in the woods and my wife isn't there to hear it.....am I still wrong?"

Seriously, nice detail and look for a 58.

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.

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.
