Coins from members in your set?

fcloud · May 15, 2004 5:27AM

I was just looking at my records and found the dimes currently in my Mercury Dime Set have coins from the following board members (not all are currently active).

Fairlaneman (five with one more on the way)
JBStevens (two)
JOM (one)
Mercury1 (six)
Merz2 (one)
(I had a coin from Wayne, but it was replaced by the one from JOM).

I also have coins pedigreed from
A. R. S. Collection (three--Yup! I have the three dimes from my 1931 Mint set)

Benson (two
Fivaz (two)

An additional note, the 1942/41 was the first coin in my w/varieties set--it was a gift from my wife Linda!

Do you have coins in your set from other members? Would you care to share your list?

I have coins from members too.I believe we all have bought and sold to some other members.

One of my favorites came from Jared (Poptopsrus) - my 1967 SMS in MS67DCAM. Actually bought two from him raw and scored that grade on both.

Insofar as my two best Jeff proof sets go, I have coins from BNE and Carl Wohlforth. Those two guys know a thing or two about Jeffs! I also have two coins in those sets from Jeff Werlin, one from Tom Becker and others whose names you would not know ...

JrGMan2004 · May 15, 2004 8:48AM

Let's see, from my merc set...

I have 3 from LucyBop

1 from DeepCoin
Had 1 NGC from Rick Kay, but that's now in Lucy's toning project...
1 from Bill Jones
1 from jbsteven (My only Top Pop

)
and 1 from Woodie...

That's most of my set... other sources, 1 from EBay and 2 from J.J. Teaparty...

I've gotten great coins from Board members. I list who I got my coins from in my Registry Sets.

solid · May 15, 2004 9:32AM

Just off the top of my head I know I have nickels from at least half a dozen collectors
here (my spreadsheet lists real names and I don't have their handles handy), plus
mnmcoin, telecoin and of course wondercoin.

<< <i>I've gotten great coins from Board members. I list who I got my coins from in my Registry Sets. >>

Me too.

I'm in the process of updating my sets to include who I got my coins from. Some have been added, others haven't. For now it's one of those "I'll finish it when I get around to it" things.

Interesting thread Tony.

In the set that is now broken up only about 4 or 5 coins came from collectors that are on these boards. One thing I would like to say is that it would have been very nice if more had came from the members here because the quality is always exceptional. The rest of the coins came from many other Web Sites and dealers that post here frequently and on occasion. Probably the biggest dealer was David Lawrence and Heritage. Each probably got the pocket book for 6 or 7 coins each. Out side of those two dealers it was a coin here and a coin there.

The members that supplied coins were. Python1, where is this guy? Wayne,he is still around and alive. Tony Ciccone, where the heck did he go ? Jon, Dimeman who is lost also. JOM, who sold me the killer 26D. Aaron, who disappeared also. Mercury1, I believe this is correct, when he sold his Mercs. Sure hope I did not forget anyone because all of the coins were pretty and I appreciated getting them from the members here.

Take Care.

Colorful coins has now passed me a 53P, 59D, and 55D....all super gem coins...All hail Craig!!! All hail Craig!!! All hail Craig!!! Keep 'em coming!

egsantos · May 15, 2004 10:38AM

My first top pop coin was bought from Mike Alford.
After that, from Bear, Raycyca, Lloyd, Alex, Todd, all members of this forum.
With a strong advise of Russ.
Great coins from great guys.

I didn't know what to expect when I started the thread. I do see that some of these coins move from one to the next. I think that says a lot about the collectors here!

Ken,
Are you keeping a list of where your coins have gone? I know you'll be able to see the ones I have in my set (via photo) if you like; there could be others.

Colorfulcoins · May 15, 2004 11:07AM

Thank Bill. Perhaps a few more.................too bad you don't like BLUE.

rainbowroosie · May 15, 2004 11:08AM

Is your 61P blue??

DeepCoin · May 16, 2004 1:41AM

I have bought coins from a number of members here, Ken, JPStevens, Grip and some others I am sure I have left off. I have always been happy with the coins. Ken, how quickly we forget, you used to have 67 NB coin from me in your set... just kidding as I bought some of the coins in the set you just broke up.

CoinAddict · May 16, 2004 2:17AM

tgilliams · May 16, 2004 2:52AM

the finest i've purchased are from Lucy and Wondercoin

dpoole · May 16, 2004 3:20AM

<< <i>Tony Ciccone, where the heck did he go ? >>

He was at the TNA show this weekend. I got a nice (original!) Antitam Commem from him.

Fairlaneman · May 16, 2004 9:09AM

Tony and Rick and RainbowRoosies. The mind, memory wise, just is not what it use to be. Heck if I can remember what happened yesterday, life is good.

Sorry for forgetting Rick and RR on coins purchased from members.

Take Care.

My Mercury set includes coins from Fairlaneman ('35-S and '43-S) and JB Steven ('17-S). Others may have come from members using eBay aliases. Among dealers, I've purchased several from Larry Whitlow ('16-S, '35-P, '44-P) and David Lawrence ('21-D, '29-S, '40-S). I'm probably missing a few, but these are the ones that first come to mind.

Most of my coins in my set are from members:

2 from Lucybop
2 from Jacktheknife
2 from Coinbuf
2 from Wayneherndon

The other one (I have totally 9 coins in my set) is from e-bay, and I'm not sure if that is a board member.

I will also add one from Stewart Blay soon...

I have a Jeff in my 1958 PR Registry set from Carl Wohlforth. He does know his Jeffs.

Lakesammman · May 22, 2004 9:55AM

Hadn't really thought about it until now. I've purchased from EagleEye, Boiler78, RKKay, Newmismatist, Shylock, BigMoose, BigE, MrEureka, STEWARTBLAYNUMIS, Julian, MS68, Legend, Coinguy and possibly one or 2 others.

Who would I like to buy a coin from?? Cardinal!

CarlWohlforth · May 22, 2004 10:01AM

I've had the great pleasure of buying many coins from many forum members. I'm also very happy to have placed some of my best proof Jeffersons with forum members. Sometimes it seems like a small world.

Mistercoinman · May 23, 2004 12:19PM

Well I believe half of my coins are from board members some noteworthy but not limit too. ( Mitch Wondercoin, Nick, Tim, and Lucy.

Kriek · May 25, 2004 12:36PM

I have bought coins from various forum members, yes.

Coins from members in your set?
