thedeadpoint Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 For the small cent type set..almost 70 years old and looking young as a new born. BTW: I positively hate photographing slabbed coins! Please put him in the "Grading Challenge" forum to see how many of us agree with the slab!

syzygy Posted December 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Picked this up after work today. Really gorgeous toasty toning. This is the second one like this that I have purchased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syzygy Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 A friend of mine took a trip to Singapore recently and was kind enough to bring these back for me. She also gave me these: that Ringgit is pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 My first purchases of the year turned out to be a couple of large hunks of silver...a 2007 SAE (previously posted in the 1800-forever, 1 coin per year thread) and this 2007 Panda.

syzygy Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 The Caballito Peso. I have long wanted an example of this beautiful design. 1910 Mexico 1 Peso KM #453 .903 silver, mintage 3.8M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syzygy Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 It's been a while since I have had any new acquisitions. So I stopped off at a local shop and picked up a few interesting pieces - these are from the 6/1.00 bin. A nice 1944-S Centavo with a lot of red remaining. My first coin from Jordan. One of these days I have to start putting together a country collection. Lots of luster on this one. Don't know what this one is - obviously damaged but interesting - guess I will be searching Krauss. From India I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Had to get one of the Churchills for 50 cents - a notably 'ugly' coin . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I didn't need this Kennedy at all, but I really like the series. For $5.50, I thought it had some nice eye appeal, allthough it is scuffed a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 As a little bonus, the Dealer gave me a Washington dollar in change - my first one! I can't say that I really like the design, but I don't dislike it as much as many have expressed. The edge lettering is kind of cool.

syzygy Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Got two needed additions to my off center memorial lincoln year set from Lost Dutchman! The 1963 is a beauty. The other one is rough and a little hard to read but I pretty much agree that it is a 1960 as labelled. I went through my lincolns looking at the positions of the numerals on all the 60s dates and 1960 fits the best - agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stilson Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 The one from India appears to a 1927 to 1928 Travencore Chuckram. (From my world coin book.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 The one from India appears to a 1927 to 1928 Travencore Chuckram. (From my world coin book.) Thanks for the Travencore tip - that made it easy to look up in my Krauss, but now I'm confused. I see km#43 and km#49 as possibilities. There is only one picture for both (presumably this is for km#43). There is slight difference in the characters at 7:00 on my coin (maybe that means it is km#49, but again no pic). KM#49 is listed as ND 1906-1935. Do you have an identifying number in your world coin book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have an identifying number in your world coin book? I am using a Standard Catalog of world coins by Chester Krause and Clifford Mishler 1979 edition The picture appears to be dead on. All the writing and designs match. BTW the top one is marked "Chuckram One" not "One Chuckram". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syzygy Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 From the Baltimore show... For the Large Hunks of Silver collection, a Bahamian Dollar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Also from the Baltimore show... For the Lincoln Cent Dansco... ..and a bunch of modern proofs, a couple of which are below.. Notice how cheap looking the zincoln proofs are? The copper plating is so thin, it just can't take the proof surface well and I constantly see that corrugated effect on virtually all of them. If I shoot through a pinhole, I can remove some of the effect from the pic, but not from the coin . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Even though I didn't "need" one, I couldn't resist this tasty 1966 proof unc (duh). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted May 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Here is an interesting one...a nice, but low-grade, 1864 IHC. With a nice clear repunched date... I don't see an "L" - do you? Am I blind? They see one. Or is the "L" assumed based on the RPD (i.e., is this RPD only seen on the 1864 "L")? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted May 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I picked this one up but didn't really need it, I just liked it a lot. I think I have a little desire building to start a US WWII type set - 1942-1945. One could probably put together a nice MS set without spending a fortune.
