Anyone want to share their new purchases?

I keep a thread going here.....for various Spiel and gaming tokens

I posted these new ones in the thread above but will post them here to.
I managed to pick up 2 error and one better grade Queen Victoria "Old Head" Gaming token.
These are the only examples I have been able to find that is better condition. And......I have two errors!
There are many varieties with a man and woman sitting at the gaming table playing cards.
.
Looks like this one in brass is a little more rarer as the rest on the page notes copper.

Another error

thanks, @WAYNEAS - I still haven't put together a more 'legit' coin photo setup, so I usually end up w these moody, directional shots just to try and show relief of the details

I have never had a 1950-D Jefferson before.

The 50-D was my first “Rare” coin also. Brings back fond memories.

This is my newest addition.

Been a good week on the 'Bay so I banked some profits and recycled some quiche.

Bought a fluid head for my tripod and took a long desired leap into 8TF VAM's, the 14.8 Spiked Eye

Problem free PCGS AU53 for the "grading set"

You do very well as it is. Nice photos !

ɹoʇɔǝlloɔ · May 10, 2021 6:51AM

thank you, @Kudbegud - really appreciate that - it's tough on these forums, with so many members who take what I feel are massively superior shots of their coins, but I'm working my way towards that --- someday 🙃

WAYNEAS · May 10, 2021 7:52AM

Great photos all.

Drove to Denver from Tucson for our Grandson’s wedding and decided to pick up one of Dan Carr’s latest! Glad i did!

Bruce7789 · May 10, 2021 6:44PM

If you decide to get or order one, make sure to ask for a low number, because quantities are limited....

coinsarefun · May 10, 2021 6:44PM

Super cool. I like it a lot!

I’m happy to say I purchased this beautiful half eagle from my friend and coin brother, Jeremy, AKA @clarkbar04 .
I think it’s beautiful and fits nicely into my half eagle collection.

🚨 alert, alert - darkside cross-post 🚨

always inspired by the great coin photographers on these forums, but my ambition hasn't yet translated into hitting the bars some of yall raise - that said, I broke out the dslr for these to give a go at a more computational approach to lighting; used a single led pen light, took photos w light in multiple different locations relative to static coin-camera setup, and combined exposures to achieve the below — still a long way to go, but happier w these as opposed to smartphone ambient lighting shots — and no, I'll never remove the coins from their capsules to photograph them, so dust-be-dąmиəd 😄

2021 31.21g .999 silver proof queens beasts, 11th and final release, reverse only [we all know what the queen looks like]

The 50 D was the last hole in my book 1 Jefferson nickel collection in the 1960's, they were not found in the wild. An unc. Specimen was $35 in todays money close to 10 times that amount based on inflation. I finally got my 50 D and about 20 some years ago purchased a roll of them some were graded...some given away to YN's as a memory of a young collector who drove him self crazy trying to search rolls to find one.

JonBrand83 · May 11, 2021 5:42PM

I only collect these in MS but I enjoy the color on this AU58. Its got some dings but should be attractive in person. I will find out soon. Maybe I will hate it in hand. Who knows..

I picked up a nice 1926-S Oregon, but looks like someone put some sort of green sticker on it!

Pretty much rounds out my state error collection.

Picked this up. Love token on a five dollar gold piece. If anyone could help me with the initials it would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently thinking its JGF?

Those are my wife's initials... send to me.

Just kidding...

Gave me a gift idea.

Very elegant.

Thanks. These are interesting. I've seen that most are made using coins from the 1840-1870's so it's also interesting that this one has a host coin date in the 1900's.

ThreeCentSilverFL · May 14, 2021 2:15PM

Sorry. Not coin related, but a NEWP regardless. I figured with 3 closed threads on the main page and a few at least questionable Alts showing up recently it would slip by.

Crackout · May 14, 2021 3:35PM

Hey, mine isn't a new car but I needed it just the same for my type set! It's got some pretty heavy die polish lines that are kinda interesting.
