Anyone want to share their new purchases?

In my 40+ years of collecting, I picked up my first private territorial gold piece. It’s not in my hands yet so I won’t share, hopefully next week, USPS willing.
This could be an expensive turn of events! The dark side…. 😉

Just got these 1908 P, D, O, & S Batber Quarters in the mail today

Clackamas1 · March 15, 2025 5:32PM

Arrived this week. POP 3/0 MS67. It is on its way to see if it will CAC. It is noticeably cleaner than my 66+ CAC. I don't think it is an "A" coin in 67, but it also is not a "C "coin in 67 - IMO so we will see. Still it is amazing to survive like that for a 156 years. Shields are common in MS so there are really nice examples to be had.

An eBay pickup.

I found this thread on the second page but I think it deserves to be back on the first, so here is a bump. Plus I am very happy that I recently won this coin in a Heritage auction. I bid on it in 2021 and lost, so when it came back around I bid even more strongly. This time I won...and at a price lower than it sold for in 2021! It's J-114 and it's graded PR 64.

P0CKETCHANGE · March 18, 2025 4:52AM

@Mark wow! Congrats

JWP · March 18, 2025 12:12PM

Just got these nice half dollars in the mail yesterday

Cladiator · March 18, 2025 5:37PM

Ran across this little guy recently and couldn't resist adding it to the 1776 collection. PCGS AU58 Spain 1/2 Escudo.

NGC MS66

Mr_Spud · March 18, 2025 7:20PM

I just won this on eBay for approx. spot price of silver just for fun. No one else bid on it. These are the auction pictures.

I normally don't dive into the modern coin pool, but, this is my first CACG graded coin and my first MS70 as well.

Went to Atlantic County show this morning.

Picked up some frosty raw coins at a local show yesterday. Will take and post photos later today.

UPDATE. Photos attached.

I seem to be on a Roosevelt kick lately.

johnhenry9009 · March 24, 2025 4:03PM

Got this one at a local shop for $75 and to me there's just something so appealing about an NGC Gen. 4 to 5 holder with an undamaged hologram. Nice purchases by the way.😀

Is that the rare doubled reverse die variety?

JWP · March 25, 2025 9:07AM

@PerryHall I don't think so. I believe it is caused by my shaky hand when I took the photo. I have a cell phone photo set-up sys in the mail and that should improve my problem. thanks, Jon

This is the best I can do with the cell phone and the poor lighting.

Working on this series of graded proof coins, a very nice slab label to boot.

robec · March 27, 2025 7:22PM

Picked up these two from GC a little while back. First time posting either..

Barberian · March 28, 2025 8:07AM

Gerry Fortin's description of this likely top pop NGC MS64 1877-S WB-6 "Weird F" (R7) was very accurate. Light must shine directly on the obverse to see it's light amber-rose toning and cameo appearance, otherwise it appears darkly toned, reflective, and shows weaker cartwheels than the bright reverse. I see it crossing easily at PCGS MS64 as well, even though I don't normally collect uncirculated coins.

"The fields are partially mirrored with the copper-rose obverse toning melting away under a bright light exposing a lovely rose palette. (The reverse is white with a faint amber tone along the rim.) Regardless of the obverse appearance, per GFRC images, there are no blue shades (but instead) copper-rose with hints of gold at the rims." Both sides have planchet or roller lines as well as die polish but show only sparse, scattered hairlines.

WAYNEAS · March 28, 2025 10:20AM

I now have these in the following grades:
MS65PL
MS66PL
MS67PL
MS68PL
MS69PL
I am only missing the MS66+PL grade coin.

GuzziSport · March 29, 2025 6:05AM

My first private gold - given the prices for nice private gold, it’s likely my last! 😉 Excuse the crappy photos.

Mark · March 29, 2025 9:28AM

@GuzziSport That is a fantastic coin. The coin type itself is so cool and you have a beautiful representative of it! It makes me want to work to scrape together enough to acquire one. Very nice.

GuzziSport · March 29, 2025 10:56AM

Thanks @Mark, I liked it too much to pass. As I said above, first private issue for me, so it’s a bit of an outlier in my collection.
I’d really like to pick up a nice original Clark Gruber Pikes Peak Mountain issue someday, but that’s a lofty goal indeed.

Love the grades!
Would love to find a Kennedy in that grade.

Made a trade for this one.

@Vetter WOW, that is a great trade. Congratulations

New auction win:

65BN. Pop 5/0. $960 w/bp. PG: $1400. Tough Close 3 variety @ this level. Great eye appeal & detail! Can’t resist a nice toner!
