1814 400 Reis from Portugal. Has some rim color, though the blue is not quite as bold as the pic suggests

Oh great, another collector going after Portugal

Nice Portugal coin. Sure is a lot of interest in them on CP.

Thanks all, I thought Jose and I were the only ones...

No sir. I'm in there too.

It's actually a 480 Réis coin (24 vintens /Cruzado), nice coin! One of my favorite types along with Bronze 40 reis coins (Patacos) and copper X reis.


Jose

Great toning. Very nice Reis.

1919 4 Centavos from Portugal

1966 20 escudos Portugal

1853 Half Dime with Arrows


1853 Half Arrows & Rays
Liberty is full, the E just doesn't have any crud in it to make it stand out. The coin is not quite as dark as the pic.

Nice pick-ups!

Man! I want that bridge coin!

Great additions to your collection.

I really like your '53 half - nice and problem-free with enough detail to appreciate the beauty of the design...

I am a big fan of the A&R design - here is my half.

I would have to check but I think I paid a bit more than you, but mine is *not* slabbed and I thing you got yours at a very reasonable price. Seems like there is no secret about the A&R coins and their price reflects it.

It's slabbed no more!! Cracked out and in the Dansco this morning.

Your A&R is nice! One of my favorite designs, it has really grown on me since this type set thing started. I was really hoping to get a 53-O, just very tough to find with the look of your or mine A&R.

The guy I bought it from had 6 A&R 53-O's all slabbed by ANACS ranging in grades from VF to AU, but they were all cleaned.

Nice pick ups. I too love the Arrows and Rays half dollars. I think they are cool designs.

A 2 euro from somewhere that Art passed along. Thanks Art!

A Fine 52-D washington quarter I got from a co-workers coin tray today. Cost .25.

That 1814 is seriously cool.

beautiful coin ---> 1853 Half Arrows & Rays

Received this today from Blackhawks very cool contest

That's very cool!

Picked up these at the local coin show today.

You did good!

Pretty.

Contest winnings from Art. Thanks Art!

The Barbados and Panama coins are great.

Nice addition to my Dansco 7070 Type Set. An 1816 Large Cent Courtesy of the fine Blackhawk

That's a great Large Cent.

Went to the monthly Melbourne, FL coin show. Got there late, show starts at 10 am, I arrived after 1, closes about 3. My favorite dealer was back this month with some great fresh item, but by going so late I didn't bring enough cash or a checkbook so I had to select carefully. I only had enough for these 2. a 1836 Bust quarter which I love the look of, and a 1867 Shield Nickel with Rays. The nickel has a little discoloration/tone on the reverse bottom, but I picked it up for a song so I can deal with it.

Excellent bust quarter!

Nice purchases. The quarter is especially nice. I could use them both for my type set.

Thanks all, I am really addicted to the quarter, I cant stop looking at it. I love the contrasting dark to light colors of the devices and fields. Two nice additions finding a home in my Dansco Type set. I think another arrived today from Blackhawk!!

Yep, my Seated Dime has come from Blackhawk an 1857-O slightly better date in roughly AU, looking for mostly XF coins, but this was too nice to pass up.

Nice dime

No new purchases, but I just realized I haven't bought anything in over 4 months!!!!

Better fix that. You will be going into rehab soon otherwise.

From the FUN show in Orlando:Excuse my crappy images: 1833 Half Cent


1800 Half cent, I'm loving this coin



1836 Bust Half dollar:

mmm.. those are two juicy half cents... especially the earlier one.

yumm.. i'll have to save up for a nice one of those.

Nice purchases. How was the show? Did you go to the NGC luncheon?
