I haven't bought much this year due to a new baby in the house but I have a good conection at an antique house that notifys me if anything nice comes in. He called me the other day and said he had some pretty nice coins come in and that I should come by. I was knocked out when I saw these.
I think I would get a you suck if I told you what I paid, but I would like to get some opinions on grades first.
Here is what I picked up...
All raw.
My lighting is borked up a bit in my photos....I have to fix that.

Very nice pic up and I will be the first to congratulate you on the
You Suck award without even knowing what you paid for them

Nice pickups!
Is your white balance set right for the first few coins? They all look a little too evenly golden. I'd really be interested in the Connecticut and California. If you're selling them, please PM me.
My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.

<< <i>The Stone Mountain and Lincoln appear to be cleaned as does the Grant. >>
Yes the obverse of the Lincoln and Grant seem compromised. Shame, they both have beautiful reverse toning.
The Stone Mtn looks like original skin in hand but does look hairlined under magnification.
The rest are really really nice in hand.
Thanks for the replies so far.

Ya I think my white balance is jacked up. I havn't imaged coins in a while and I was in a hurry.
All the golden looking coins are mint luster silver in hand.
Thanks for sharing!

<< <i>It does make me think that it would have been cool to have produced these deep relief commemorative halves in gold. >>
The Grant does come in gold...... although I like it better in the larger format. Cheaper, too.

these now show the proper color in hand but don't really show luster as well as the first pics, so I guess reality is somewhere in between.
sorry my photo skilz suck.
Still wondering if anyone can chime in with grade opinions.
thanks.

I am stumped by the Columbian getting BB
I thought the Pilgrim was minimum 64
I thought the Cleveland was 65+
Oh well my first experience with grading raw coins and I guess it wasn't so bad.
I really would like someone to explain where the Columbian shows signs of cleaning? I am not buying it.
<< <i>so it's like time to fess up...how much out tha door was you holding a smile over already
Well...I bought almost the whole collection which was a total of 19 coins (including these 8) and I paid 2k.
