A skinny eagle reverse (1796-97) half dollar. 

I finally got one of those this year. Not much in terms of grade but you know how hard they are to find problem-free. Linky....

1796 50¢

I'm looking for a circulated problem free Gobrecht Dollar these days. Tough coin to find.

Got my uncirculated US Marines 230th Anniv. commems on Saturday. They look nice.

What the hell.... I'm in if you are ordering at least 3.

Got an NGC submission back yesterday. An 1839 no drapery Seated Half came back a VF-35. Was hoping for XF-40 but in fairness to NGC, I think they got the grade just right.

Looks like you got your answers. If you order this book, could you let me know how it is? I'd be interested in purchasing it as well if its any good. Thanks!

These arrived yesterday from Heritage. Two additions for my US type set. A 1937 Proof-67 Buff and an 1867 Proof-65 Cameo 50¢.

I have a 1962 50 Lire and a 1974 100 Lire from Vatican City. Both are uncirculated. PM me if you are interested in these coins.

That is just sad.

Very cool! Thanks for posting.

I can see why this note won. Beautiful!

Welcome! And you are right, this is the friendliest place on the web.

Got the 3 2005 Silver Proof Sets I ordered, but one is going back because the slab is cracked.

Oh, and this 50¢ piece made a big dent in completing my US type set:

Draped Bust, without a doubt.

With 1.5 million made, I'll bet there's more than 12 examples out there.

Well then gpnyc,

I quess it was not you who spent $500 while I was there. 

Quess I got there about noon didn't stay too long...had to make a trip to Bklyn that same day before 5pm. But t was fun while it lasted. If you hear of another in NYC please let me know. PM me or post here

We probably just missed each other - I was there from around 11-12.

The next show I know of is the NY International Numismatic Convention. Its usually held in January but the 2006 dates have not been posted yet. Below is a link to the website from the 2005 show. Its mostly world coins though. I wish we had something like FUN or Long Beach around here.

I also went to the NY Invitational on Friday. I wonder if we were there at the same time. Anyway, the Brasher Doubloon was just sweet and there was tons of other high end stuff to drool over.

The show was a block away from my office and, although I would have liked to spend the day there, I was only able to get an hour's worth of coin viewing pleasure. I left the floor empty-handed.

All was not lost though.... I did win 3 lots at the Heritage auction.

The Vicky with one chin got my vote.

Roman. Anything Roman is gonna be cool.

Mexico... cool design from my birth year.

San Marino.

Poland. Love the medallic look of this coin.

Swiss - the overall design is nicer.

Voted against France (always will).

The Broad... I like broads.

The Thaler. Spectacular.
