1959 KN East Africa 1 Cent - UNC. Hints of red/pink toning.
1949 Spain 5 Pesetas - XF/AU.
1969 India 3 Paise - Proof. Very little haze.

Picked these up this morning at the local show:

1942


1947-D


1954-S


1955-S-LIBIERTY

Nice Lincolns.....could use them in my album.

Beauties!

I found that in my mail yesterday.

Thanks Mark!

Glad to see it made it okay.
I just wish I would have picked up more.

Bought myself a new loupe today.

A H.E. Harris and Co. wide field 10x. I tried the 16x but found it difficult to easily focus under normal lighting.

Been using it for about a hour today and really love it. It's so much better than my old $3 loupe that was plastic and kind of cheap. The new loupe is heavy metal (steel?) that is easy to handle and focus. I like how it stays extended unlike my old one that didn't like to stay in place.

Well worth the $12! They had a Bausch & Lomb but it was $60, very nice piece though.

Picked up two coins at the show today:

1941 Mercury Dime - Choice AU. May get a 60 on a good day.
1937 Buffalo Nickel - XF/Scratches. I liked the color and for $1, won't complain.

Here are the photos:

1941 Mercury


1937 Buffalo

From the photo that merc has a great strike, and as far as I can tell is a low MS grade.....62/3 ish. Unless I'm not seeing something you have that lady undergraded.

Wouldn't surprise me if I undergraded. I'm either spot on or low on my grading of Mercs.

Comparing it to my PCGS MS64 this coin is much nicer, especially in the luster and strike. But there is some "flatness" on the left, lower part of the hair. Could be a strike issue though.

Picked up some nice ones today.

Chile 1951 20 Centavo - Nice blue tones
Jordan 1964 10 Fils - Nice chunk o' copper. Red tones.
US 1965 1 Cent - Just a darn nice strike.
US 1951-S 1 Cent - Obverse is iffy, reverse is really nice. Bold dark red color.

Philippines 1944-S 1 Centavo - Cool colors. I like this type.


Finland 1917 50 Pennia - Still holds some of its luster. Just a nice looking piece of silver.


Switzerland 1936-B 2 Rappen - So well struck I thought it was a proof at first!

I like the color on the rappen also.

Nice stuff

Mmmm Swiss.

Purchased at the Ohio Coin Expo today:

1/4oz Engelhard "Prospector" bullion - $3.90 I wanted a 1/10oz but they didn't have any.
1973 Nepal proof set. Nicely toned coins - $3
1960 Cyprus uncirculated set. Awesome 5 Mils - $2

Grandpa picked up a 2001 Vatican set for $9, 1974 Israel UNC set for $2, and dad got a couple $5 bills.

I bought:
1998 Australia 50 Cent - George Bass/Matthew Flinders (Four of them) - About 0.5oz silver each
1911-A Germany 1 Pfenning - Nice purplish toning, great condition (AU/UNC)
1920 Canada 1 Cent - Gold/pink toning. Maybe UNC? Pictures to come for this one in the grading forum. Love this piece!!!

Dad bought:
2002 P Canada 1 Cent - Specimen - Great looking coin, I really like it.
1967 Canada 1 Cent - Just a nice coin
1990 Isle of Man 50 New Pence - Christmas boating scene
1987 Mauritius 1 Cent - 2x2 says UNC but it looks like a proof.....

Gees, you know images, particularly of the older stuff in unc would be nice.

Nice purchases!

I forgot my macro lenses at my apartment.

Burks, are you sure these are minted in silver? These were minted in ni-cupro and were widely circulated here.

(or they might be if they are indeed the silver edition)

1998 Australia 50 Cent - George Bass/Matthew Flinders (Four of them) - About 0.5oz silver each

Flea Market Finds:

Jeffersons:
1943-P = XF, nice rainbow toning around the rim
1947-P = Low UNC, light gold toning
1947-S = AU, light rose toning around the rim
1962-P = AU
1970-D = Low UNC, blast white
1971-D = UNC, still in mint cello.

$4 for all of them wasn't bad.

Nice Jefferson finds.

NNC MS-67RD 1913 Swiss 1 Rappen - The previous owner and myself both agree the coin is around the MS63 area. At PCGS/NGC I doubt it would get the RD designation due to coloration. May even get the bodybag because of some "green" on the reverse.

Nice coin nonetheless. It was free though.

Can't tantalize us with that description without posting pics!

I have sooooo many pictures to take. I've been seriously slacking!

From the MSNS show today:

Nice

Great stuff

Picked these up today at my favorite shop:

1937 Chile 5 Centavo - UNC is lovely!
1945-D Philippines 20 Centavos - Just a nice AU piece.
1901 Great Britain 1/2 Penny - Some nice original copper color. Will post this in the grade guessing section.
1835 Canada 1/2 Penny Token - I have no information on this. I have a post over on CU asking about it (topic in the token/medal area here also).

No pictures. Left my lenses at my apartment (again). Will be up tomorrow night.

My only buys from the Wooster Coin Club show today:

1924 P - Peace Dollar - "Junk" silver bin buy. Best out of it.
1957 Proof Lincoln Cent

Picked up only my second half dollar commemorative today.

1986-S Statue Of Liberty - $6

Nice buy! I think the modern commem halves are perhaps the most overlooked of any commem series!

How about you buy the HepKitty a nice frozen strawberry Margarita!

Sure thing! When and where?

Well I didn't exactly "buy" these quarters but they were part of my payment for working this weekend.

1964-D Washington
1956-P Washington

Someone paid with silver quarters so my boss, knowing I like coins, gave me two on top of my pay. I was pleased!

Nice bonus!

And it only cost your boss fifty cents!

Received my prizes from Blackhawk today.

And what was one of the extras?



An awesome 1923A German 500M!!! Check out the die breaks on that bad boy! This is, by far, the best looking 500M I've ever seen. Ignore the yellow.....all my Reveal bulbs are burnt out. It's blast white.

H*** of an Eagle. I like it.

Great stuff
