Today, I’m going through all of my 2x2 Franklins and Walkers and see what is the best set I can put together in some old Dansco and Whitman albums.

Now that looks like a fun project for a Sunday!
Personally, I don’t have any coin plans today, though I do need to get my coin photography set up assembled again. It’s a bit of a mess!

Im going to look at all of the coin auctions that are currently going on and then buy nothing because no one has the coins I want for sale.
Working on notations in my Excel inventory. For the kids or grandkids, but more likely I'm Father McKenzie.
I am working on my Summer FUN exhibit. It's going to be about the 1936 Proof set.
Spent the morning researching pre-1900 numismatics and proof coins in particular-- there is always something new to discover!
I worked on upgrading both my Large and Half Cent collection and enjoying perusing my 1780 Maria Theresa Silver Thaler Restrike.

I just now pulled not 1 but 2 Wheat Cents out of my change returning home from running errands.
That sounds right up my alley
. Good luck!

There is no competition in the summer. It's just for show.
I have 30 new coins on my desk that need to be photographed, processed, and listed.
So many distraction right now it is hard to get the work done.
Hopefully today l will get started on it.
Went thru a little pocket that wife puts in a little bowl when she gets some. Nothing good. In to the change jugs they went. Lol

Posted a pic of my 1875-CC $5 gold on a CC thread.
Lafayette Grading Set
I am going through 4000 or so wheaties. Then I will decide what to collect next for my US type Set I am starting.
Did my daily search for stuff in the numismatic desert.
Still slim pickins.'
Been that way a while.
Just visiting you guys on here today.

Contemplating a search to fill holes.

Went through a roll of "junk" Mercs that I received on Friday.
Picked this Walker up at the antique mall today.
Watching football and reading on here.
Does U.S. Coin Forum count?
Watched what you did with coins today.

Bought 2 Walkers in VF. 1919 and 1920-D
I had more than I thought I did. Missing a 54-S Franklin and some of the normal walkers on page 1
Rolled up $36 in change to take to the bank. One of the nickel rolls is almost solid 1940's that I decided I had no reason to keep, now someone else can find them.
Yesterday I unloaded 9 generic BU Peace Dollars at my LCS. I also bought a 1943-D Merc in an old 65FB rattler.

Very nice sets @DNADave! I love circulated sets! I did the same thing with Walker's and Franklin's. Except, they're both in Whitman albums. The Walker's look great in that Dansco! 👍🏻

I made a couple of bids on GC that I know are way too low to win.
I dumped some New Hampshire AI Dollars into the self-checkout at Target, because half the time I hand them to a cashier they (understandably) refuse them as “arcade tokens”. Stock photo below, if you aren’t familiar with these. Yes, that is the correct orientation of the obverse.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Intercept boxes were full. Ordered another last week. Delivered Friday. Started with box # 1 pulling 5 slabs, moved to box # 2 where I pulled 10 slabs moving to box # 3 where I pulled 15. etc., etc. I have 10 proof set boxes on the way. Eagle albums take up to much room in the safe. Anyone interested in 7 or 8 Eagle Proof set albums ? Available soon. CHEAP.
Second day of the BECC show today….made a respectable amount of sales then drove home…
Bought a type 1 double eagle (57-S) in 58CAC for my all CAC double eagle type set.
Also planned/budgeted/researched for the remaining two (type 2 lib and HR Saint).

today was a welcome day off from coins (aside from forums). having done some inventory, painfully and after spilling a big double row box (ugh) after JUST getting it organized, all i did today was just move some boxes around until the next level of organization. i did package up one small sale for shipping tomorrow. some of the coins are above/below/beside a freshly organized box of fossils. nothing big but quite diverse. (for me)
fun seeing some of the other projects in this thread.
I spend extra time on weekends just jabbering about coins here and on Facebook. I find myself looking at PCGS coin facts 10 or more times a day, focusing on Seated and Liberty gold coins to learn about other people's purchases. I have OCD with ranking the rarity of coins. I've had a lot of time this weekend, because I have Covid.
Looked inside my wheat Cent cabinet and thought"back away" You're not ready
So far today (and all of yesterday - since I worked all day), just visited this forum. Probably will not do much coin stuff today. House chores beckon... well, kind of screaming....
Cheers, RickO
Today could be interesting. I’m meeting a man today to discuss his mothers coins. She recently passed. Could be anything, but from a brief description I received but I think it will be medals. We’ll see. He was referred to me by a local antique mall, which I appreciate. Hopefully will have a good report later.
So far all I've done is check out what's going on here. I'm feeling hungry for some toast with apple butter for some reason. Later I'll make change to customers at my retail store and be checking anything that I'm given. Have a great day everyone!
Created a search on Collector's Corner and was glad there wasn't anything of interest. Need to save money!
I am logging a purchase that I received on Wednesday. A BST purchase.
Post processing some images I took this last week for the CBH's, making sure all the mage parts match up and that I have have a text file with a decent description for each coin (also part of a DB).
It's a little tedious, but I feel good to get a few done at a time. I figure a little progress every week and eventually ot'll all get done.
