My latest NewPs...and possibly last for awhile

dohdoh Posts: 6,457 ✭✭✭
I picked these up at Central States. Forgive the quality of the pics as I took them quickly at the bank this morning. The 1916-D is wonderfully crusty and the 1815 CBQ has more luster than can be seen in the pics. After seeing some prices realized from the latest Heritage Auction I'm not sure I can afford to be in the game for awhile! Enjoy

    Don't know if this was 'tongue in cheek'. If you can afford that '16-D and a 1815 CBH... you can't be hurtin' too bad.
    Both nice coins, by the way. Congrats!

    Thank you for all the nice compliments. I really do love the 1916-D, definitely the centerpiece of my collection.

    I should clarify. After seeing the 1913-S Quarter PCGS VF30 sell for north of $10K I'm scared to try to buy anything right now. These two coins were actually purchased mostly in trade. I think I ended up trading 10-11 coins for these two. Normally I'm not a big fan of trades as I'd just rather sell outright on the BST or eBay, but I got more than fair value for my trades.

    Those are great. If I were to have a 16-D Merc, I'd want it to look like yours.
