Here in California I am stuck at home and I’ve had a lot of time to surf on eBay Variety hunting. I have located a large group of somewhat rare varieties and picked like it was my duty. Among my recent acquisitions; 1943 P Jefferson ddo fs102 in pcgs ms65 and ms66+
1931 S DDR 802 Buffalo ms63
1931 S DDR 801 Buffalo ms64
1930 ddr Buffalo ms64 extra leg hair
Various 31 S ddr in raw low ball
Multiple Franklin bugs bunny varieties
1945 D DDO Jefferson fs101 with RPM MS65FS and ms66fs
Several 1936 DDO Buffalo 101, 102 pcgs and ngc
Among a few impulse purchases, I picked some spot free pcgs Buffalo nickels for my growing herd here at the Rocco Ranch. I elected to take a more active effort filling in the holes of my complete buffalo set and complete US nickel set.
I have Trade fever and recently helped a few registry competitors fill in or upgrade varieties, and landed some beautiful coins like a 1971 No S proof nickel, and ms64 1939 ddo fs101 nickel, 1946 S ddo fs101 ms64, and an early find 2020 P Jefferson ms65+FS. Also worked a trade on the BST for a pcgs walker, Buffalo, and accented hair Kennedy!
Unrelated info because i am bored...

Cherrying a 1936 Die 1 DDO is a nice accomplishment.
I definitely liked the Sopranos, which I binge watched over several days.
There are definitely more bidders since every one is at home these days. Good time to sell stuff.

Nice cherry picking! My movies are in there. "Next of kin", "St. Elmo's Fire" and "City Slicker's". Also, I see many Duke flicks, huh? My favorite Duke movie is, " The Sons of Katie Elder".
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Nice!
Wow... Some nice finds indeed... As far as watching movies/TV etc... I rarely have the time...so many other things to do... Cheers, RickO
Nice picks. I was able to pick a few Buffs earlier, but now on a losing streak.
You are correct Sir,
It is your duty to cherrypick the jeffersons, we expect nothing less from you.
I'll do the same for the double dimes.
It ain't so easy to do nowadays. 30 years ago it was easy. 60 years ago it was easy with most of the mainstream stuff-I just wish back then I knew a little more of what to look for.
Shortly after the quarantine started I cherried a 1913 type one 3 and one half legged buffalo nickel in fine condition.
Cost me about fifteen bucks.
