Can't remember if I already posted this one or not. Sure, it's a super-common date, but the luster on this thing is phenomenal. It shone like a beacon from a dealer's case at the FUN show, and caught my attention from ten feet away. Had to have it.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Here is an 1839-O quarter eagle. This piece might have been a crack-out candidate if there was not a dulling above the eagle's head on the reverse. As it is, it's a solid AU-58. Most of the coins have dies which are rotated 180 degrees.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

This one arrived in the mail today. Perfect pair to the 1911 in a 2.1 OGH that I picked up at FUN!

@pcgscacgold, can’t go wrong with that beauty. Looks like it just rolled off the press! Congrats!
Zack.
Thanks @GuzziSport and @jfriedm56
The two of you always acquire outstanding coins so it means a lot that you see this one as worthy of ownership

Here is a fun one, though I need to get some better photos of her.
This is the only Gold CAC 1867-S available. Just arrived and I am very happy with it.

Two more that came in yesterday. Fun to find the only Type 2 DE in a Doily.

New addition to the double dime collection that arrived this week. Couldn't resist the OGH, CAC & subtle toning combo.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Thats one hell of a fine. Looks like all of liberty is visible
Here’s a better look
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Very nice
These two need to go to CAC for a sticker. They came right out of a fresh collection. Been sitting in a safe forever.

Thanks. Hard to find an MS68 OGH with a green bean....
I really need to start making a point to show some of mine in this thread. There's quite a few back there.
I've always liked looking at this thread, that's for sure!

Here's a image I took yesterday of a couple. These are actually from the same Die Marriage, with the AU50 from the earliest (and rarer) Die State.
