Burks Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Add a 1904 Nickel to the bunch. VG/F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Another nice package today: 1980-D SBA. Completely toned a light gold all over. Fantastic buy for.......$1 BU grade 1965 Quarter. BU condition, at least 63+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Another nice lot from Ebay. Washington proofs: 1980-S 1981-S 1982-S All are at least cameo in my opinion (comparing to my PCGS PR69DCAM). Not bad for $5 shipped!

Burks Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 That sounds like a good deal! Here are some scans. They picked up every flake of dust on the 2x2 though. Not sure why that stupid $ sign is on there. I'm using VueScan (HP program doesn't work right). Any new programs are welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Went to a coin show today. Picked up a 1962 Franklin BU for $6. Needs a bath to remove some black toning marks. Also picked up a 2006 SAE for $11.50. This will be my new pocket piece starting first week of March. I'll take pictures 1st day of every month to track the progress. Should be interesting. Goal is a P-G grade using only my pocket. Also got two dimes for Dad's Stuff. Edit: Forgot to add in my 2006 Jefferson rolls were delivered to me by my dad today. Along with a Buffalo-D roll. And he snagged me a shotgun roll of Nevada quarters while I was making a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Package of 11 different Croatian coins came in today. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Got my first Brown Box Ike in today, a 1971. Obverse is nice a clean, little bit of cameo. Reverse is hazy around the rim. Starting to see some blue/green color. Now will the haze eventually turned into a nice color? Doesn't really bother me if it doesn't, still looks good.

Burks Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Mailman came back with a second package, my 1974 Brown Box Ike. This one has an obverse with brownish/yellow toning around the rims. Reverse has haze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Nice going! You're building a very nice collection and quickly too. Thanks. I've really ventured away from U.S. coins lately. Picking up lots of world coins for the price of one U.S. is nice. Swiss coins are some that I really love but hardly see any for sale. I bought every one the guy had (50% off as well).
