Nice coins. I especially like the farthing.
Mark Stilson
Kind of fits in both the large cent and british coins.

I'm on edge waiting for several more coins to come in. The 2006 proof sets from the mint, a couple more silver dollars, some error coins.

From the mint
Two 2006 proof sets
and one quarters proof set

Only thing one set has the nevada quarter small ejection mark and the Sac has a small ejection mark. The other two don't appear at 30x to have any faults.
Art
Nice purchases.
Mark Stilson
I was hoping to find a phil. 1893 morgan in better shape at the coin show. But this does leave me with a 1895 morgan left to fill out my morgan year set.

Okay, went back by the coin show and sat around chatting with a guy who frequents PCGS chat board. Forgot to get his name, but.. Anyways sat around waiting on the door prize announcement and went thru the bargain bin. Total damage $13.

Nice Swiss!

Nice coins. I love bargain boxes.

It did surprise me. Now I wish I would have had time to go thru the other bins.

One 2003 Silver proof set.
one roll p and d from the mints "found" 2001 kennedy halves. (Yes, I went ahead and got some.)
One 2005 satin finish mint set.

This one deserves comment. Recieved in clean, undamaged, original sealed box. So any damage was from mint handling. The satin finish shows off dings ejection marks, and bruises excellently. Finer dings I have not seen on mint sets. I have got to admit they did miss dinging up a couple coins out of the set. On the dime it has a nice small die crack in the hair and a "blob" of metal in it. Takes a 6 x to just start seeing the blob so I'm not really talking very big. Now I'm used to seeing die cracks which are toward the edge or orginate from the outer section of a coin. This is completely inside the hair. At first I did think it was another scratch, but looking at it with a 30x and 60 x its a crack. I'm not going to attempt pictures, since they would not turn out through the cellophane. Also I doubt my camera could pick up this.

Needless to say, but I am not thrilled with satin finish. It might be a good idea if the mint took more care with the coins.
Mark Stilson
Late arrival today. 1965 special mint set. It has a real nice toned cent in the set. A gold red color to it.
Art

Getting antsy. I'm waiting on 6 proof sets, which will get me 2 sets away from 1960 to 1990 regular sets.

Those are some of the coolest coins ever. Very inventive design and idea.
Mark Stilson
Picked up some duplicate proof sets. But the right price.
1962 proof
1964 proof
Really nice strikes in these two sets.

Then a 1990 proof which brings me the 1988 proof away from completing 1960 to 1990. The dealer is going to bring it next week.

Good cent. You know with all the cents that I've collected, I do not have one of those. I think it's really cool.

Anybody have opinions on these two? Whether considered deep cameo or cameo?
Tiffibunny
Nice!
Mark Stilson
Another really should not have picked up coin. I already have a 1879s but a decent upgrade.

user posted image

Just wish it did not have as many bag marks. Did get it for a good price though, so I really can't gripe. Also out of the junk coin bin a cheap 2001 d mint statehood quarter mint set upgrade for my state quarter display folder.

Art
Excellent coins. bthumbsup.gif

Ya'll are really dangerous for me. Since I've posted and organized my collection. I keep noticing "Hey, just a few more of these" and I'll have this set . biggrin.gif Still need the 1895 morgan which may be some time off till I find the right deal. The proofs I can bite off a chunk at a time. I'm not sure whether to work on the large cents or franklins. I'm pretty close on franklins. evilbanana.gif
