Not really new but, still unpacking after our move from LA to Las Vegas. I unwrapped this one.........forgot I even had it
Why did you move? I mean, the traffic is an obvious bummer in LA, and the taxes and cost of living. Nevermind. Dumb question..

Good point, and I actually liked the area with lived in. Unfortunately it was a forced early retirement for health reasons.
But , once the weather gets warmer here I know I’ll love it here.

Iowa commemoratives have a relatively large number certified in high grades but I was looking for more than 5 years without finding one. I know that some of us like the chase but darn--a 5 year search was becoming increasingly frustrating. However, I finally found one in a Legend auction and was fortunate enough to win it. What makes it especially nice is that in hand the coin looks very much like its True View.

I got this as part of a side project I'm working on. I love it! It reminds me of the kind of presentation cases they used for the King of Siam set and other fancy old proof sets.
Just purchased - Road Runner approved...You know, something to flatten bent coins on...

I would share my new purchases but I believe my wife looks at this thread and she believes I'm not buying anything..
I like that a lot. If you ever decide to part with it please let me know.
I'm going to look into one of those holders. That does look nice.
Eye candy.

Not a new coin purchase but one that I found in the back of my safe that I had not added to my inventory.

A little upgrading; not as high-grade or exotic as many posted here, but they please me.
Let’s make some hammered coinage!
Here’s mine.
…. and some NEWPS to keep on track.
My latest.

I picked up a new West Point ASE, because, why not? I really love ASE's. The new reverse design is growing on me.
Fantastic Iowa! Killer color for the issue. Congratulations @Mark.

I have always liked the way the “38” looks on both the Jefferson and Buffalo

I really like the look of that 1916!
Tonedeaf is a nickname given to me in reference to my guitar playing ability.

Does that 1917 look cast/porous? Or is it just me?

It's funny: When I saw how the photos showed here, I wondered the same thing.
But, no. It's a bit of toning; it looks nice in person.
And two more upgrades that arrived yesterday (I'm a big fan of AU58 coins):
It was a fun day...
