Enjoy

Alan

Thanks Art, I really like the coin and the label.

Alan

The coin arrived today and I was surprised at the size and an all around great looking coin

Alan

These are two different Dwight David Eisenhower Commemorative $5 Uncirculated coins,

I won them from two different sellers, and I won them both for 99 cents each LOL

Looked around and only found a few ranging, from $10.00 to around $20.00

The history of these two coins is really something and I still can not believe how I lucked out on them both.

All the best

I posted one of these amazing whatever they are called last week, and today I was lucky enough to win another.

My plan is to get a different one for all my five kids as a sort of good luck piece.

Hope you enjoy them.

Thank you thedeadpoint

All the best

Alan

Thanks Art

I did put a lot of work into it, but there is still so much more to learn about running a website

I am giving it my best though.

All the best

Hi everyone

I am very excited to tell you all that I have just opened my first website, With the sole purpoes of learning and sharing information about sample slabs.

This is NOT a coin form, just a place for sample slab collectors to learn and soon even be able to help each other.

The website will be a place that I will now be posting all my sample slab articles. I have been working very hard to build enough information in my sample slab articles, to create an archive, a place to read older articles you may need for information that may be of help to you with your sample slabs.

The hobby has been growing so fast I can hardly keep up with it. As I have been saying for a wile now,samples are selling for fare more than ever before. I have just seen some sell for $200.00 to over $300.00 and the rest are not only selling for higher prices, but selling at a very fast rate.

I hope this website will be of help to you, also help with answers you may have. It has just opened and I will admit it is still in the beginnings stages, I am learning just how much work there is to running a website, as well as writing articles. So as I learn more the website will grow, with information for the

sample slab collector.

Please let me know what you think, and remember, I am very new at this website stuff, so please be kind LOL.

Here is a link to my new website

All the very best

Alan

<p>Hey Everyone

I have been saying that samples are becoming very expensive and they are.

But I also have been saying there are bargains out there if you take the time and look.

Well I just won this sample for under $4.00 and the funny thing is I had forgot I even bid on it.

Like I have been saying they are selling so fast that they do get missed. I have been seeing these same type of samples selling for  around $30.00 . So keep looking they are out there.

Sorry for the bad picture it is not mine

All the best

Alan 

Hi Everyone

I know these are not U.S. coins, but i just wanted to share them with all of you (My Friends)

I won them yesterday for just under $10.00, they are Canadian and were made for

The Canadian 1999 MILLENNIUM. A 12 Coin Pack of 25 Cent coins, one for each month.

I hope you all enjoy them, I will take a better picture when they arrive in the mail.

All the best

Alan

I do like the Presidential dollars.

Even though I don't collect them,I find them a very nice coin and a great set.

I only have one, given to me by the owner of http://www.smalldollars.com/

If you collect them or are interested in them this is a very good site.

As usual mine is a sample slab. LOL

Alan

Here is a favorite of mine. They just don't get any better than this

Sorry I just relized I have already posted this one.

Alan

LOL Just imagian how I felt when I opened it.

Alan

Hi Art I can't remember if I posted this coin or not so her goes. Colour of background changed to show a better photo.

I hope you all enjoy this coin

Alan

This is a great thread Art

Alan

The rest of the Rosie's I ave seen on this thread

are very nice so good going everyone.

Alan

1996 Mint Sets are the only source for the W dime. They're still pretty reasonable - around $15.00. Maybe I'll put one away for each of my grandkids before the collecting community gets hyper on this.

Hi Art

That is just what I have done for my Grandchildren.

I was able to get three 1966 and two 1967.

The 67's was about ten dollars each, but if you can believe it I got the three,

1966 for $3.88 each.

They are very easy to come buy, and you are correct, get them know before

that 40% Half Dollar get to high.

Alan

Art

I just got lucky with this one, and won it for ten dollars.

That being said, I think you have a very good start on your collection.

Your silver Rosie's are amazing.

The rest of my collection are all 69's It is not very big maybe 50 slabs so fare,

but I have had to put a slowdown on them.

Alan

Here is one I like

Alan

Art

I thank you for this GREAT THREAD,

I love the Jefferson, I am building three complete folders, or trying with all proofs.

I know it is a tall order buy I have a lot of fun trying.

I just hope I can get the really old ones in mint or proof.

Alan
