    Nice acquisitions, except that 1939-S Buffalo...a little suspicious about that one.

    Yeah, you may be right? I sort of noticed that, as well.
    However, the shades of color still got me!
    TY.
    Sorry, late on posting my final buy.
    The 1909 vdb
    Woody.
    😆
    One question.
    On the obverse of the Cent.
    There seems to have some organic substance, to the left.
    Should I acetone it or leave it?

    Thanks

    Mechanical error. ;)

    Nice pickups. Be sure to check the 1943 nickel for the 4/3 overdate. Also, I like how that Cuban coin shows the weight and fineness of the silver as part of the design. I think the only circulating US coin that did this was the Trade Dollar.

    Nice pickups . . . traditional pieces with character and a lot of historical significance. Nice color on the Frankie too . . . . .

    Not every item is purchased for the purpose of flipping it or making a profit. Sometimes, great history, real circulation, and dates where interesting things happened in our country make the more common pieces symbolic and fun to hold in your hands.

    Have fun with these and others you will find . . . . . .

    I see $50 in enjoyment alone and well worth it.

    Till I saw the close up on the Franklin, I thought it was an "S" mint.

  • nwcoastnwcoast Posts: 2,884 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Maybe start a toned circulated Franklin album with that one? That could be a fun, and relatively affordable project.

    I find it's quality over quantity. This Franklin is $50 all in on Ebay. That being said it's your $$ spend it so you are happy.!

    Looks like a bit of metal movement on the "D".

    Yes, definitely! I picked all this up at one table. Swell two guys. They allowed me to sit down over an hour and sift through their displays!

    To me, it looks as if the "D" unfortunately has a hit?
