My current coin acquisitions

Looks like you have some nice pieces but man you need some better photos. What’s with the extreme low angles? Just shoot them straight on and crop the images. Pair the obverse and reverse together in consecutive pics.

I was trying to capture the cartwheels on some of them and for some reason when I uploaded them, they didn’t pair opberse with reverse since I had taken them that way. Will repost later.

Some nice pieces your have there. I especially love the gold.

Congrats on your pickups.

Donato

Thank you Donato, I too love that gold. I especially like researching the coins history in time and wonder where they’ve been a and who’s held them.

Nice coins. You seem to have the resources to assemble a very nice collection. What do you want to collect? You can assemble assorted nice coins or specialize in about any area and put together a very nice collection. Welcome aboard, very knowledgeable group here with expertise in many fields. They have helped me learn a great deal.

Smudge I do have some resources but nowhere near the deep pockets of some in our hobby. Thank you for the welcome. There are some very very knowledgeable people on here to say the least.

I am very impressed with your new additions @Matt91......and you only been here for over a month
Are you an avid collector prior to joining the forum? You seems to know much more than any new member would...including me.
Have fun collecting and continue share the pictures

Thank you @Paradisefound and yes I’ve been an avid collector for about 10 or so years casually and the last 5 or so more avidly honing in on what my passions are within the hobby. I prefer Type 1 $20s and anything related to the American Revolution and Civil War. There’s something to be said about coins from long ago ie when people flooded the West coast back in the 1800’s with the many assayers and those creating their own monies. What do you like to collect?

Your pictures suck but your coins dont

Thank you @USMarine6 I appreciate the warm sentiments.

Nice coins, but i question your taste in carpet!

Ahhh well, my carpet leaves a lot to be desired too, so I'll let you slide.

Wasn't my first pick in carpet (putting hard wood in soon). What are your interests in numismatics?

I like nearly everything I can't afford. It's frustrating at times.
I'm currently putting together a PCGS certified type set. It
started out as a box of 20 set. Then it became two boxes of twenty.
It's currently 5 boxes of twenty and about to get a little brother any time now.
I just added a PROOF Barber dime (1894 PR67) which is not even in my grubbies yet.

I figure I should be complete with it some time around the time we have regular occupancy of the delta quadrant.

Very impressed!! I have a whole box of Kennedies and Eisenhower’s that I’ve accumulated over the years (dad helped me). What’s your most prized coin? The 62-S is mine thus far but hope to expend one day and consolidate (coin dotage can be… difficult if you’ve got lots of silver bullion and world coins).

Most prized opens a lot of latitude.
For instance my father, upon his passing, left me a number of coins. Any of those would certainly qualify as most prized even though some (many even) are really nothing special.

Of those, probably a 1922 Peace dollar not certified, but it was my father's birth year.

An interesting opinion there @LanLord as I too have many of my dads coins when he passed and could not imagine selling them since they're a hodge podge of coins from ancients to the Eisenhower $1s. In some ways I took after his love of the Civil War and took interest in coins from that era.
