I got this 1854 O half last night on Teletrade. This will go in my Dansco 7070. What do you think?

I think that it's a terrific coin and would be welcome in almost anyone's 7070.

What's the grade?

It's a PCGS XF 45.

Very nice!

Another Teletrade winning, 1963 Franklin half. NGC MS65. I am putting together a Dansco of Frankies, now I need 9 more.

That's a nice Frankie. I'd hate to liberate from it's NGC slab. By the way I really like Teletrade's pictures. For the most part they do an excellent job.

It seems to me that the obverse frankie die was filled with grease or whatnot up towards the top of his head. You don't see detailed, nice flowing hair up there.

I think it's just a weaker strike. BTW, you have a nice collection of Peace Dollars. I never used to be a big fan of them, but they're growing on me.

haha. I meant that he was bald.

Thanks re: my Peaces. I've been collecting them on a tight budget (I'm still in college) for a while now. And I only get to pick up a few new ones each year. I'm getting near the end of the series with only a few key coins left. I plan to keep the set and upgrade it, add varieties, and enjoy it for a long time.

By the way, welcome to CP. Hope you enjoy it here and decide to stay for a while.

You know, I was going to respond with something like "Yeah, the reason there's no flowing hair is because he's bald". I hear you about the tight budget. I started off with Morgans, got as many as I could afford, switched to the type set (Dansco 7070 which I love), Franklins, Ikes, etc. I just want to finish an album!

My plan for the Frankies was all MS64 FBL. I got 25 of them and the ones I need are hard to find in FBL, so I'm getting non-FBL in higher grades. As you said, we can always upgrade later.

Beauties!

Got this Long Island Commemorative Half last night. This is the final commem half I need for the Dansco. It's a PCGS MS64.

Cool! I have a long way to go on mine.

I won four coins on Teletrade last night. Without further ado....



1958 Half PCGS 65


1927 China One Dollar NGC 50




And two 1992 Mexican Onzas, both NGC 66

Nice winnings. That '58 Frankie is my favorite out of the group.

Mine is the '92 Onza on the top!

I got a nice Barber quarter last night, PCGS AU58.

I really like the high-grade Barbers. The 1911 is terrific.

Very nice!

Delicious. Barber design is definitely my fave for quarters.
