Anyone want to share their new purchases?

ZoidMeister · October 27, 2021 6:06PM

Cannot wait for the backstory on these. Sweet stuff.

Now I need to find a 1998 Concept Dollar to round out my cache.

Found this one and holy smokes, It’s quaint I’m a’52 so it holds special meaning. I love the renditions and charts. It was a very good deal. 😉

PCGSPhoto · October 28, 2021 6:46PM

Two large cents for my Dansco 7070 type set with some good, honest wear. One an 1802 PCGS F15, and the other an 1812 PCGS G06 (from @massscrew)

pcgscacgold · October 29, 2021 12:46PM

A few Daniel Carr items I recently picked up from a fellow CU member. Posted in the DC thread as well. His work is outstanding.

Being kind of a neophyte... I hope that is a good thing!

coinsarefun · October 29, 2021 3:43PM

Well, I felt like someone should needed to rescue this. It appears to have some verdigris starting but I think I'm going to watch it and sees what happens.......either way such a great Numismatic medal for $18
1970 Medal California State Numismatic Association CSNA ANACS MS65

Steven59 · October 29, 2021 4:14PM

Won this on eBay for a measly bid of 12$ to add to my circulated FE collection. This one will make 52 total so far.........

Mrweaseluv · October 29, 2021 7:38PM

My new goodie... and gotta say can't agree with the listed "value" since the last one sold at an ANA auction in Aug with the same grade (and not as nice) sold for $204.... PCGS list it's value at ...$22... I'll say I paid more then 22 but less then 100 so i'm darn happy with it

emeraldATV · October 30, 2021 11:24PM

Now sock money ?

emeraldATV · October 31, 2021 4:23AM

Well what do ya think ?
Disneyland ? Nice and clean looking also sporting even strikes (S). S over S

Zoins · October 31, 2021 7:44AM

I've been a fan of Robert Maxey's classically inspired pieces for some time and have a number in silver and brass so I was happy to pick up this lead die trial.

1983 The Baltimore City Mint Medal - by Robert Maxey - lead die trial

This is a neat die trial as the reverse uses Gasparro's 1977 small eagle pattern design.

1985 The Baltimore City Mint Medal - by Robert Maxey - reverse lead die trial

Quick pictures of the one I got yesterday

bagofnickels · November 2, 2021 7:34AM

1903 IHC MS64RB

Didn't plan on collecting these now I have 3. Might as well assemble a short set right?

cointime · November 3, 2021 5:18AM

A few more I just received my grades on last night

And this one IMO S/B a 67 or 8

Jzyskowski1 · November 3, 2021 8:36AM

It’s here 😉

Mrweaseluv · November 3, 2021 10:17PM

My typeset added another pretty this week

daltex · November 4, 2021 12:58AM

It is always interesting to me to see the great diversity of what people here collect.

Downtown1974 · November 4, 2021 5:19AM

Love me some big, old, gold! Yesterday’s newp.

DreamingCoins · November 4, 2021 5:23AM

Been wanting the 06 set for some years. Finally came across a good deal from a friend.

ZoidMeister · November 4, 2021 2:21PM

I just couldn't resist.

A raw 1875-S Trade dollar but a late state. Dies were clashed and cleaned up for more production. Both dies shattered to a degree. Nice radial break (among others) on the obverse through the olive leaves. The reverse has extensive breaking too with a long one out of the lower left denticles. Huge chip break on the upper left wing edge and many breaks along the right wing edge. The particular coin also exhibits a planchet flake.

coinsarefun · November 4, 2021 7:40PM

My 2- 2021 Peace Dollars arrived today.....they look flawless which interprets PCGS MS69/NGC MS70

WAYNEAS · November 5, 2021 7:22AM

@alefzero
Really nice photos.

NumismaticJunkie · November 5, 2021 11:54AM

Finally added the 1916-D Merc to the collection. Would love to have a higher grade but unfortunately VG8 is the best I could afford. Maybe one of these days I’ll upgrade it and snag a XF grade. Either way, I’ll enjoy my “grail” coin as it is. 😃

alefzero · November 6, 2021 1:18PM

Another one. 1798 BB-116 terminal state (B-30a).

bearcave · November 6, 2021 5:18PM

WAYNEAS · November 6, 2021 5:21PM

My newest is in the mail.
Should be able to post it on Monday.

WAYNEAS · November 8, 2021 2:55PM

And here it is:

Steven59 · November 9, 2021 1:46PM

Picked up the last piece for my 59 Proof set I'm putting together. Got it from Great Collections for under $40 - I think it got lost in the listings somehow and was surprised as heck to win it.
Maybe the light reverse strike had something to do with it but I was out for a frosty example and this fit the bill perfectly.................

RedSeals · November 9, 2021 4:21PM

PwrHsePro · November 9, 2021 4:28PM

Should be here this weekend

NumismaticJunkie · November 9, 2021 4:42PM

1921 and 1921-D to add to my circulated Merc collection. Both should be here this upcoming weekend.

OKbustchaser · November 11, 2021 1:24PM

And the wait begins. Bought last night so seller pic.

Crackout · November 11, 2021 1:58PM

A little gold added to my collection!

Mrweaseluv · November 11, 2021 10:38PM

a pretty lil upgrade for my type set

pmh1nic · November 11, 2021 10:45PM

pcgscacgold · November 12, 2021 3:50AM

These will be here today. MS $1, Proof Half, Proof $1, Proof Quarter set, MS Quarter set. Almost 30 year old from GMM.

ZoidMeister · November 12, 2021 12:02PM

One of the side benefits of insomnia . . . . . . . .

.

. . . . . is getting on eBay before their morning "what's new in your searches" emails go out. If you can get to the site before those emails, you've got half a chance at scoring some really rare pieces. Once the masses get the alert, stuff like this is usually gone.

If I hadn't been sleepless last week, I never would have scored the following.

I know they weren't there when I went to bed some four or five hours earlier. I guarantee they weren't there 10 minutes later before I took my regular evening "bio-break" . . . . . .

St. Eligius and the numis-gods have really been smiling on my lately. This is the gleaming tip of the iceberg above water. I have more arriving, but nothing as exciting as these.
.

.
Presenting my newest acquisitions (sellers photos because I am too excited and impatient to wait to take my own):
.

Ron Landis' 1996 Western Reserve Numismatic Counterstamped Morgan Dollar and Standing Liberty Quarter, complete with original cases . . . .
.

.

.

.

Here are the population reports that @coinsarefun posted in another thread.
.

.

.

.
I am exceedingly happy that the seller was a fairly lousy photographer. These look WAY better in the hand than in the photos above.

Maybe I'm overly impressed with these, but I never believed a podunk exonumia bottom feeder like myself could ever add something this nice to my collection.

Steph, this is what I have been hinting about for the past few days.

Very cool stuff Z.

Jzyskowski1 · November 12, 2021 12:46PM

Those are fabulous. I too have trouble sleeping. Won this very reasonably priced. Scoring night before Veterans Day was cool 😎

CoinHoarder · November 12, 2021 1:25PM

Today I dropped by my LCS to pick up a cull silver.dollar to add to the stack. When I saw that he also had a 1982 silver Washington half dollar for $9.00, I snagged that one too.

WAYNEAS · November 12, 2021 2:24PM

Today's addition.

Wayne

BryceM · November 12, 2021 4:53PM

I'm a coinaholic and until today, it had been 5 months since my last coin purchase. Glad to break the dry spell with this one.

coinsarefun · November 12, 2021 4:56PM

A received a mixed bag of items today.

Anyone want to share their new purchases?
