Today in the mail I recieved a 2004 SAE that I got for $5 on ebay. It is in a velvet case with a cardboard cover. Very nice.

What did the mailman bring you today?

CoinWorld

Same as Daggit

but, I'm expecting loads of coins next week, in several shipments

I got 6 Silver Czech commems, a 2004 Danish 20 Kroner, couple of bimet Russian 10 Roubles and a Saudi 1 Riyal note courtesy of our fair akdrv. I am happy.

And boy that woman on the Dane, she is the epitome of the word "Krone".

Nothing today but I did get a really nice 1921 MS morgan earlier this week.

Thanks Blackhawk

Katanga cross, one of the large primitive african coins. Came today, haven't opened, no time.

Oh I also got the new issue of Numismatist.

Nothing in the mail, but my wife (the yard sale queen) picked up a brand new "Baker County Bucks" two dollar coin. This thing is really nice. It is ~1.25" dia. with "redeemable throughout 1993 at participating merchants, Baker City, Oregon". The reverse is of a pioneer, trees, and a covered wagon. Very pretty, and she found it in the free box at a yard sale.

That's the best kind of deal Ray.

Yeah, she was pretty proud of it . It is very nice

Not really today, but just a few days ago, there came a form, declaring

"PLZ PAY 10% TAX FOR YOUR NUMIS. ITEMS AS THEY ARE TOO EXPENSIVE" <- well obviously it was not phrased this way

A penny, just the one.

Arrived on Friday 17th June.

That's the wierdest coin I've ever seen. What is that thing?

check the "world" forum

No coins but my mammogram results came back clean. Hurray!

Congratz, Kat!!!!!

Must be a relief!!!

Yes, thank you. Mom had a 'radical' back in 1994 and I've had a couple of bad reports which turned out to be other things. Quite a relief! Good to go for another year!

Nothing today - earlier this week received 2005 Silver Proof Sets, Oregon Quarter Rolls, 2005 Mint Sets, and my big purchase was a set of the 1976 Proof Bicentennial Coins slabbed from PCGS and autographed by the 3 designers, the quarter by Jack L. Ahr, the half dollar by Seth Huntington and the dollar by Dennis R. Williams.

Now I am broke and must save for more!

Just received a roll of BU 1999-D SBA's. I won them in a contest on the CU Open Forum a week ago.

I got 2 Oregon quarters from Tiff. Thanks, Tiff! First time I have seen them. Pretty cool.

An 1892 VF Indian Head Cent
A 1959 Lincoln Cent Proof

Dansco 1999-2003 SQ album w/proofs & silver
Self adhesive 2x2's
and some Direct Fit Half Dollar Airtites

My 2005 Silver Proof Sets!
They are really clean this year, so much so I am thinking about ordering two more sets and cracking them out and submitting individual coins.
Good looking coins got delivered to me at least.

BWRC sent me this today.........very pleased as it is now the center of my Toned Proof IHC set!!!!

PROOF O_O Nice!

Wow, how'd it turn to that?

A lot of these old proof Indian Head Cents were wrapped in tissue paper and stuck in coincabinets or desk drawers for decades. The sulphur in the tissue paper cause the copper to oxidize and turn pretty colors.

That is an amazingly beautiful coin. Nice snag. Now what kind of effect does that kind of coloration do to the price? Collecting these types of coins could turn out to be a very fun hobby! Very pleasing to the eye (mine at least).

Of course if you did that now you'd be accused of AT-ing the coin.

I usually do NOT like toned coins, a lot of them seem artificially or unevenly toned. However this piece exhibits nice uniform and original toning and is an eye pleasing piece for even a toning descriminator like myself.

You all have so nice coins

Today i received these from an Austrian coindealer:

Hungary, 5 Korona 1907 KB

Austria, 5 Corona 1909

The mailman actuall only brought a note which told me to go to post-office for the coins... :rofl:

It not unheard of to pay several times great sheet for nicely toned examples......in some cases even 10X to 20X grey sheet would be needed to sucure the best of the best.

ATing isn't a huge problem with the Proof Indian Head Cents though anything is possible. Most of the AT IHC's I see are Business Strikes.......now their are tons of AT'd pieces being hocked on Ebay. Sometimes lightly cleaned Business strikes will take on a proof like appearance with some nice coloring. Even I have been folled before which is why it;s wise for beginners to stick with certified examples of nicely toned coins.

The TPG's aren't perfect, but they catch a high percentage of the AT stuff being sent to them.
