I sent them an e-mail, haven't heard back yet. I would be willing to return it for a full refund, or get some sort of credit for my next purchase (there's only about a $200 difference between a 62 and 63), or I keep it until I find an upgrade and never do business with that company again. We'll see.

I got these in the mail yesterday along with a new album to put them all in! I decided to put together a set from 1982-date.

Thats a coin type I'd like to collect. Those are really nice. But already have too many irons in the fire.

I just got these yesterday:

Funny how the 2006 Libertad has the same frosty surface that I noticed on the 2006 ASEs earlier. Must be the water!
Then I also got this upgrade yesterday:

Beautiful coins.

Nice coins, jeff!!!

Well, the last few days have been pretty good! First, here is a coin I picked up at our last coin club meeting, which completes my set of business strike 2-cent coins (finding a descent small motto 1864 is tough when the motto is usually the first thing worn smooth!). I tried to get it in enough light to see the motto, and although I don't have a photo of a large motto to compare it with, you can see that the letters are short and fat, while the LM letters are tall and skinny.

Next I got a nice silver round from the meeting for only $10, and it had such a nice liberty seated design I couldn't resist. Next to it is a 2000 Libertad which fills another hole in my set (when all is said and done, I need only a 2003 to complete the set now).

Next are the two key dates for the Libertad series that I received yesterday in the mail. The 1998 is the absolute key date as the mintage is only 67,000. The other key date is the 1987, and in this case I bought the 1987 doubled die variety, which you can see better in the close up photo, where there are two dots in the ".999" the numbers are also clearly doubled but harder to see here.

Cool! I didn't know there was a double die variety of the Libertads.
Great new purchases.

it is ... i like the small touch of color. unfortunately these are a PITA for folks who don't live in Canada--their license to use the olympic rings only permits these to be sold in Canada, so I had to order them and have them sent to a friend who then forwarded me the package.

I went a little crazy a weekend ago on eBay with this one seller. I got a kick out of those big silver $5 from the Bahamas, and you know I love the balboas! I have an extra of the proof half balboa and will likely put that up on the auction forum.

Different interpretation of my request. I was hoping for cash. I already have more than enough bills.

Less than I expected ($85) but I set it up where I got more money back on my checks and less back on my refund.
It's being put toward a $100+ purchase at Columbus on the 28th

This afternoon's mail included of all things, a small cigar box full of Lincolns (well almost -- there are about 10-12 Indian Head Cents in there too and a SLQ and VNickel). The Lincolns are just beautiful. One of the most outstanding of all is the 1959 Proof RED RED RED PROOF PROOF PROOF.
Thanks Daggit.
