Great Coin of this week

Kkathyl · April 25, 2017 8:16AM

I am what you call a passive collector and was pleasantly surprised at the beauty of this coin. Keeper??(https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/zu/1w88hqpaoqel.jpg "")

1630Boston · April 25, 2017 8:19AM

Tough for me to tell from the pic.
Why are you passive about collecting ?

Kkathyl · April 25, 2017 8:28AM

Limited funds. But I am luck to work in industry so we get to see a lot of great coins

1630Boston · April 25, 2017 8:29AM

Very good.
Keep posting and listening.

Kkathyl · April 25, 2017 9:17AM

@1630Boston Great advice and I have been. Takes a couple years for it to all sink in but I have grown to love coins and have bought many. It is a very enjoyable hobby and great people.

Meltdown · April 25, 2017 9:18AM

Very nice.

coindeuce · April 25, 2017 9:25AM

Do yourself a big favor if you want to preserve the beauty of this coin. Crush those staple barbs flat. And if you decide to remove the coin from this mount, don't do it by trying to remove the staples. Accidents do happen. Just perforate the cellophane with caution.

Kkathyl · April 25, 2017 9:50AM

@coindeuce THANKS. I think I will send it to Grader to make sure it is done proper.

ricko · April 26, 2017 6:38AM

Looks like a nice coin (tough to judge from the pictures)... If you send it in, be sure to let us know the results. Cheers, RickO

oih82w8 · April 26, 2017 6:50AM

Obverse looks nice...what does the reverse look like?

asheland · April 26, 2017 8:19AM

Nice!

Careful, that's how "active" coin collecting starts. Looks like a nice BU, what mint?

Edit: Just saw the other pic by clicking the link, S mint.

Kkathyl · April 27, 2017 8:39AM

@CHrisH821 is it weird if I am eagerly awaiting a roll of Half Dollars "unsearched" when we know that unsearched is really unlikely

oih82w8 · April 27, 2017 10:12AM

@coindeuce THANKS. I think I will send it to Grader to make sure it is done proper.

Grader? Is that someone you know personally? If you are referring to a Third Party Grader, most if not all do not want the coin in a 2 X 2 (stapled) holder. The TPGs that I have dealt with on raw coins (which are not many) specify that the coin be placed in a 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 non-PVC flip for submission.

lordmarcovan · April 27, 2017 11:03AM

Nice Morgan dollar, if those are your cuppa tea.

I think they're pretty but they're everywhere, so I got jaded with them long ago. I prefer roads less traveled, personally.

Ditto @coindeuce on the staple issue. Uncrimped staples are whistling death. A sword of Damocles. Not so much a threat to this coin as they are to any others in the same box with it.

Welcome.

Kkathyl · April 28, 2017 6:50AM

circulated or Uncirculated UMMM

Hydrant · April 28, 2017 7:53AM

Interesting.

Kkathyl · April 28, 2017 8:05AM

the postage one is not the Pic of coin from earlier but I laughed when I seen this in the mail. Who mails coins out like that

Kkathyl · May 23, 2017 7:22AM

This week I have 2 coins I like. The one could be a fake IDK and don't care as it looks great anyway and I put it in a box display from the Perth mint. The other is a Sterling silver Toner and just has appealing features. Of course I am going to have to work on my picture taking skills but here they are.

Kkathyl · May 30, 2017 10:38AM

This week I thought I would have a fine example of a Hobo coin, but I have to say my first go at it looks like swiss cheese so I will post the treasure at the beach.

Those are pretty crusty alright. What the dates?

Kkathyl · May 31, 2017 8:58AM

@crazyhounddog im thinking loose change that fell out of pockets one looks like a 2000 something so my hopes are low but I am glad to know you would of picked them up too.

Kkathyl · June 15, 2017 7:14AM

Bought this $1.00 James Madison coin & stamps display. Love Madison for many reasons put this one on wall. Also trying to get my hand at macro pictures. Took 2 picture of gold ring I have using simple 10x magnifier and my old Iphone.

asheland · June 15, 2017 8:42AM

Nice ring!

Kkathyl · June 15, 2017 10:55AM

@asheland thanks my son is visiting family in Vietnam and will bring me back more gold Jewelry and some Gold coins sealed in Assay. I cant wait. So the picture taking is improving on my end

BIGAL2749 · June 15, 2017 11:35AM

Happy to see you enjoying the hobby and a great start to an eclectic collection

asheland · June 15, 2017 8:35PM

Nice!

Kkathyl · June 17, 2017 5:15PM

My brother pulled out his 35 year old collection from his childhood collection. Winged dimes Barber and about 59 buffalo. Here are a few

Kkathyl · June 17, 2017 5:19PM

Wing liberty dimes

Kkathyl · June 17, 2017 5:24PM

These buffalo will take me a while

asheland · June 19, 2017 1:25PM

Nice coins!

Kkathyl · June 19, 2017 2:29PM

@asheland I will give these away with my 2017 Buffalo rounds. At least a few If you ever have a missing date let me know

asheland · June 20, 2017 9:57AM

Thank you for that.

Kkathyl · June 22, 2017 6:04AM

Because the 2017 seem to be in delay, I will post this 2016 Lib I received from G.M in CA.

asheland · June 22, 2017 9:16AM

Nice addition!

Kkathyl · July 10, 2017 12:35PM

This weeks Coin of the Week is a 2017 Silver Proof Krug one of 15,000. Since this is the first Year of the Silver release, I believe this to be a great addition to my collection. Not sure if I want to send it to Grade yet.

asheland · July 10, 2017 2:09PM

That's nice. I want one of those eventually.

crazyhounddog · July 10, 2017 3:28PM

I have a 1952 South Africa proof set in the original case. I really like the design.
Very cool coin your showing

Kkathyl · July 11, 2017 12:07PM

@Ashland you better plan on opening the wallet a bit for this Proof as they only produced 15,000 I got mine at MCM. But first year of most coins end up being a good investment if you hold for a few years, I also got the Uncirculated version but that was at fraction of this pup. Will eat Noodles for a few weeks to make it up.

Kkathyl · July 11, 2017 12:09PM

@crazyhounddog would love to see a picture when you have time

Kkathyl · July 18, 2017 2:05PM

this week I have acquired a lot of coins from my Great, Great, Great Aunt among them is this Beautiful Maui Dollar that I am debating about getting it graded and who to send it to for Grading. Any thoughts

Insider2 · July 18, 2017 2:15PM

Looks like a token. I should leave it in the holder w/insert it came in as IMO more collectors would be interested in it.

Kkathyl · August 4, 2017 7:38AM

This week I bought a new "loop" from Eschenbach. I like the products they make but not the weight nor the price. To my surprise they have a new pocket product that has the same great magnification and quality but is virtually weightless in your hand or in your pocket. This is perfect for me. I carry a very small handbag and space is tight. This product for me was a great buy and at half the cost. This is 5x Mag and cost about $55. Like this product!!!

asheland · August 4, 2017 11:23AM

They make a good product.

joebb21 · August 4, 2017 11:27AM

Im very late to this thead but the 1879-s posted in the original post looks to me to have been cleaned or somewhat otherwise not original.

I could easily be wrong and if the OP submitted the coin I would be interested in seeing the results.

Kkathyl · August 4, 2017 1:36PM

@joebb21 not sure I still have that coin but it is silver but probable not a proof as you point out. Just a regular silver dollar coin. I have stopped buying from that particular seller and they are a big dealer. Even use the Word "Morgan" in the company name. Urr

Kkathyl · September 14, 2017 7:57AM

This weeks Coin is a simply yet beautifully designed 2016P Australia Wedged-Tailed Eagle MS70 G$15. I find it amazing how such a small coin can have such great eye appeal. The Proof has both frost and shine perfectly balanced. This coin was limited to 10,000 production so I was very pleased to be able to pick up 2 of these. I have attached a picture for your viewing. This coin to me is a reminder that we have some great friendly countries that have the same sense of pride and love of country as we do here in the USA.

asheland · September 14, 2017 8:25AM

That's a beauty!

Kkathyl · September 14, 2017 9:02AM

@asheland thanks

Kkathyl · October 8, 2017 4:14PM

This weekend we have 3 coins found in a Thrift store purse. Not sure much more then that at this point.

asheland · October 9, 2017 1:20PM

Try posting these on the World and Ancient Coins Forum, there are several members that will know what these are...
Nice looking coins..
