Late to the Party but had 4 cups of coffee today. Wired to the hilt.
Partially, because my newest acquisition is an early Draped Bust dime - 1805 JR-1. The JR-1 variety has 5 berries on the olive branch on the reverse. Currently, it's the highest graded CAC JR-1. The 1805 JR-2 has 4 berries and it's a rarity 1, the JR-1 is considered a rarity 4. I was patiently waiting for a nice example for many years. Yeah, I am very picky.
Again, alot of very nice eye appealing coins in this thread! Way to go guys!
Oh God. Folgers. And Maxwell House. With desalinated water. And the requisite "JP-5" film. Oh my, that just has me longing for days gone by!!
36 years ago, I was this guy

Was this guy!!!!!
I remember the fuel slick in the bug juice, while brushing my teeth. and of cousre the rush of JP5 while taking a shower. Those were the days of my life on an aircraft carrier.

Barry, my apologies, as I didn’t know you wanted that lovely coin. I was the underbidder that locked in the two bids before your high bid. UGH, I feel horrible! 😢

A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!!!
Had a really hard time capturing the actual look of this one in hand. This is pretty far from perfect, but it's as close as I was able to get. The coin is nice, and there's nothing especially wrong with the coffee.
@EastonCollection Oh my, what a fantastic addition. I wasn't able to view in hand, but it looked (looks) so all the way there from the images. Congratulations!

I have got to chime in to say how much I like this beautiful piece.
Congratulations

The color of this nickel is neon with outstanding luster that will bowl you over in hand. I feel very fortunate to own this beautiful 23 Buff.

Good Saturday morning! Let’s kick this thread off.
Posted this newp elsewhere, but it’s going to the SDB today so I wanted to check it out one more time. My first private issue gold… likely won’t be my last, I really dig it.
Enjoying my Red Eye on this beautiful Bay Area Saturday. For my favorite thread, I have this newbie today:
Really pretty one with good luster, eye appeal & minimal marks for a AU53. I don’t think anyone would object to this one in a AU55 holder. Nice fit, too, for my gold type set. Added bonus with the bean & how about the pedigree? Two heavy coin world hitters!
No images this morning (maybe later if I find a newp at the show), but good coffee and wiping the sleep from my eyes at my oldest son's house. Heading back down to the PNNA show in a couple hours.
Sold .7 oz of gold yesterday. No real premium (a little), but with gold up so much, raising a little cash in case a worthwhile CBH or piece of currency shows up felt good.

Thank you sir, sticker or no, that too is a beautiful coin!
I’m getting the familiar brain tickle for a nice Clark Gruber Pike’s Peak piece, lucky for my wallet that they’re hard to find nice!

Already posted in the newps thread but just can't help posting again after taking new photos this morning.
All looking good!

No coins this morning.
Instead I encountered people protesting, possibly about potential closing of the SF Mint.
Just thankful some guy
took really good photos of it! Love the way the rainbow pops
