Got this little lady on a nickel celebrating her 100th birthday this year ( )

A 1907 V Nickel from the local store

Same trip to the store:



NO clue what it is.

I like the V nickle bit worn but still very nice

De Orc

Thanks

1921 Sliver Morgan, Obverse is nicely toned although you cant really see it in the scan

IMO, a bargain for $15. Will try to get a photo of the toning soon.

Also, from the junk bin:
1975 1 Kopeck USSR

1975 20 cents Hong Kong

1994 20 cents Hong Kong

Unidentified coin with Arabic lettering

1980 10 cents Bahamas

1964 Half Penny

1948 Half Crown

1981 Mexico $20

For a buck

and for free:
1964 5 cents Canada (UNC, !Camo! )

Trying for a vam convert. Just wondering have you checked if its a vam yet? Or here. There was a ton of 21 vams.

I just hi-res scanned the Morgan, I was getting nowhere looking at it w/o my magnifing glass.
Perhaps you could take a look at them for me?

Is there any premium for the 16 berry variety? I'm pretty sure I have that.

Majority of the vams don't fetch a premium. To me though they add a dimension to collecting morgans. A few of the ones listed in the redbook, hot 50, and top 100 do. There are some what can be id'ed by picture. (Tailbar, off center mint marks, or dates, etc.) Most of them you need in hand.

Iran it looks like.

1933 AD ~ 1351-2 in the Hijri calendar

1933?Whoa!
It just looks so...new and...modern...

Thanks

Methinks the Morgan has a diecrack from the O in OF to the M and AMERICA

I somehow missed your reply Mark
I don't see myself being able to get my hands on that many Morgans to check for Vams, nor having enough dough!
Thanks for the reply!

I'm not really into Morgans but I understand that one of the fun items in that series is searching out vams even in the "silver bullion" circulated coins.

From the coin show a week ago:
1942 50c Liberty Walker

1938 Merc, grade XF but much better eye appeal

A roll of "BU" 1963 cents-some odd damage, looks like a fingerprint (Pic-WARNING LARGE!) Quite a few of these had such damage!
1979 Canadian Cent Clipped Planchet 50 cents (Approx. Value?)

A pack of world junk-bin coins from the organizers-Some cool stuff in there

Congrats on the finds!

Thanks

That '38 Merc looks cool!

Nice stuff! I always love the feel of old circs -- the years of oxidation seem to render a unique sort of feel to the skin.

Nice pickups. The clipped planchet is my favourit issued on the year I was born too.

Thanks guys!

Great stuff

Thanks Art!

Pics to come

I love junk bins. I truly wish there were a decent dealer nearby.

Junkbins=heaven!
I got a PO-1, clipped 1 cent with George III on it from the bin today!
Why aren't your dealers decent?

Big show on the weekend...perhaps this thread will be re-birthed?

The only dealer in the area is a jewelry store that also has coins. Prices tend to be quite high and the offerings rather static. There's a nice dealer about 1.25 hour drive from here, but with my budget the cost of gas quickly outweighs the budget for coins. To top it off, they don't have a junk box.

That sucks!
maybe you should get in the biz!

Gah. What a bad show. High prices (19 bucks for a unremarkable ASE? Pfft), unfriendly dealers, money-hungry organizers.

Ok, so I buy my pass Saturday. I drop ~15 bucks (BIG SPENDER!!! For me anyways.) and go proof-crazy (Pics to come). I come back Sun, and the exact guy that I bought my pass from says it's no longer good. If like 'wtf' and confused as hell. He told me, about 5 times when I bought the pass, that it's valid for both days. So we start to 'discus' and my mom steps in. Half a second later, the other guy is there with the police officer that was at the coin show. At least now I can say I got kicked out of the casino! Greedy bastards.
