Even if you don't think it amounts to much, what is your latest coin purchase?

ziggy29 · October 28, 2005 3:36AM

Latest purchase was an 1885 Seated dime, raw AU-50:

Just got this in from Heritage yesterday...

Here's my latest modern crap. Underbidder was some coin nerd named "peac@ckcoins".

paigowjohnny · October 28, 2005 3:52AM

Snagged this off FleaBay a couple days ago. Don't have it in hand yet, and I KNOW it's a gold label...but looks like some potential there for a crackout addition to my album set....

Barndog · October 28, 2005 4:09AM

No photos, but I got a Capped Bust Half Dime, 1829 LM-14/V-9 (R-4) to upgrade my collection. This example nets to AU due to an old wipe, although it has retoned nicely. Great upgrade over the VG-8 that have moved to my collection of duplicates.

Just arrived fro Heritage today. Clips on Morgan dollars not dated 1921 are extremely rare, I feel like I stole this coin for well under $100:

If the Bowers and Merena website is accurate then I snagged this on last nights Vegas auction. I was high bidder when online closed and it shows me as the winner today at a higher bid, but slightly under my max.

vega1 · October 28, 2005 5:16AM

Its been a little while since I've had budget, but this was my latest addition to my type set.

drjules · October 28, 2005 5:24AM

Two pieces for my kennedt half Dansco

1994 silver proof (from a proof set that I got for $26 - the other items in there will head to flea bay)

1996 clad proof (not bad at $8)

I just got back from my favorite pawn store. Picked up a 1925 Double eagle for 595.00, PCGS MS63.

CoinOnTheCob · October 28, 2005 5:40AM

My latest coin purchase was just a 1909 VDB. I bought it for $8.00 and when I got it home (I bought it in Mesa AZ and I live in Roseville CA) I realized that it was blatantly cleaned like crazy.

Seanq, I sent a coin to ANACS that had been whizzed. It came back with a label which said "AU DETAILS NET EF-40" You scored a higher grade with your cleaned coin. Nice. Is there a difference between whizzed and cleaned?

Whizzing is done with a brush or rotary tool.

Cleaning can include overdipping and rubbing with a cloth.

Polishing is also distinguished.

I would tell you what I am buying now...........................but then I would have to kill you.

dizzyfoxx · October 28, 2005 9:24AM

Thanks again LeeG

SanctionII · October 28, 2005 10:13AM

Have not been very active in the hobby or on the forums recently. However I have over the past few months picked up:

1. an NGC MS64 1927-P Saint (my first gold coin, it is very nice and the dealer I bought it from thought it could 65 when he sent it in for slabbing);

2. a high grade CAM 1969 quarter sitting in an original proof set; and

3. a high grade CAM 1964 half doller (not AH) sitting in an original proof set.

The two proofs sets set me back $15.00 total. A couple of nice cherries.

I picked this one up late last night. Seller's pictures, so I guess I will see when I get it.

auction buy

FatMan · October 28, 2005 11:01AM

Its been over three weeks since I bought any coins. These two were bought at the last show I attended.

2bucks · October 28, 2005 11:02AM

FatMan. I was at the show too.

Woodwind · October 28, 2005 11:03AM

Not much. Last weekend I bought a few darkside items, but I did pick up a nicely toned Proof 1957 dime.

LeeG · October 28, 2005 1:09PM

This one arrived today from Darin, BigD5:

ibzman350 · October 28, 2005 1:29PM

Sending a check this week for an MS66 Albany for the registry set.

MikeInFL · October 29, 2005 7:46AM

Lee, I like the SLQ!!!

Here's my latest, still in guess-the-grade stage, so I'll save that tidbit for now...Mike

I also posted this on the World & Ancients forum. These are so cool I wanted to share here because most people don't get over to the other forum. I don't usually buy ancients, but these look incredible to me, and cost less than a MS65 Morgan USD. In the news department, ANACS is grading ancients. This is not surprising because the ICG chief is bringing to ANACS many ICG ideas.

Baley · October 29, 2005 9:41AM

This recent purchase arrived last week

pharmer · October 29, 2005 10:07AM

Somewhat eclectic, as I continue to explore the darkside

stockwiz · October 29, 2005 10:09AM

for me this was a relatively big purchase, as I have a small budget..

Coin looks quite nice in person, nice toning.. always wanted one of these scarce halves from the 1880's.. this one had a mintage of 4400, 1100 of them proofs. It's not often that I find these at all, much less at such a low price being it's a lowly PR-58.

I picked this up from Russ. His pic as well.

Craton · October 29, 2005 11:06AM

Not pretty toning but cool to me. Just a black and white looking proof coin that is covered with haze. Funny thing is, underneath that haze is a cam or possibly even a deep cam coin on both the obverse and reverse.

Stuart · October 29, 2005 1:26PM

Here's my most recent purchase:

1880/9-S PCGS MS-64 Toned Morgan Dollar

Well, I almost purchased a roll of West Virginia quarters at a flea market while on a weekend in Kentucky but the village idiot dealer behind the table told me, very rudely, I DON'T HAVE ANY - YOU'RE 5 MINUTES LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT. Needless to say, I walked away, pretty mad but got over it.

Light12 · October 29, 2005 2:33PM

No pics until next week but I will have in hand a Feuchtwanger Token NGC Au58. Neat little coin.

mgoodm3 · October 29, 2005 2:46PM

I've got something special that will come in the mail next week. Still gotta work the deal though.

Fletcher · October 29, 2005 5:43PM

dtkk49a · October 29, 2005 6:49PM

If someone can post the pick for me....
