Burks

Those are some of the coolest coins ever. Very inventive design and idea.

Parents got 3 $2 back in change from China Town while visiting New York.

The U.N. Peace coin is trippy.

Pulled a UNC 1989-D Kennedy from a roll last night. Just a few bag marks is all.

even so, it's a great coin for the price!

Yup! It blows my other Barber quarter away in the details department. The Merc was just too pretty to let slide

Nice pickups!  That Barber has great details, but it looks like it got too close to the fire! 

I thought the same thing. Ran my finger across it and no dirt or anything came off Oh well!

Picked these up today at MSNS.

Not really a purchase but I did receive this token as a prize from a giveaway on CU. Coin is a bit darker than the image.

The reverse reads: "DISTRIBUTED BY EMPLOYES OF U.S. MINT DURING THE CELEBRATION OF PENNSYLVANIA'S BI-CENTENNIAL. OCT. 24, 1882."

Cool! I didn't know there was a double die variety of the Libertads.

Thanks for the comments everyone

Too bad the South Africa coin wasn't a proof, it would be worth about 30x what I paid. After a closer look I concluded it's just a really well struck UNC. They really do produce some very nice coinage.

Interesting. I wasn't aware bills also had "chop marks". I've seen them with stamps and such but nothing like those you posted.

Guess I need to start checking more carefully.

Picked up a few today at a shop.....1/2 off box rules

1958 Canada 50 Cent (paid less than bullion again, AU/MS)

1968 Canada 50 Cent

1942 Great Britain 1/2 Crown (paid less than bullion value)

1957 South Africa Penny (toned, UNC)

1997 South Africa 20 Cent (could be proof?)

1976 Trinidad & Tobago 10 Cent Proof

It is quite beautiful. At just the right angle the colors really "pop". I paid less than I expected to for it. Thanks for the comments

For those wondering, the Crowns are actual color. Got the color and quality down, now my image editting skills need some work (same size images would be nice).

Here are some pics of the last few coins that have came in:

The 1972 BB Ike:

NGC PR68 Cameo:

Gibraltar Coins:

Isle of Man makes a lot of different coins. I like quite a few of them, the one you posted as well.

Found a great Nevada quarter today. It will be going in my Type Set later tonight. Obverse is a bit marked up but the reverse.......oh my is she beautiful.

A long awaited package came in today!

1971-s Brown Box Ike - Light haze on obverse and reverse

1972-s Brown Box Ike - Tiny bit of haze on obverse, clear reverse

1973-s Brown Box Ike - Light haze on obverse and reverse, reverse is very close to DCAM.

Bought these today:

1967 Gibraltar Crown (Spink-London case?)

1968 Gibraltar Crown (SL case? whatever that is)

Also had a package of:

Austria

1965 1 Schilling proof (27,900 mintage) Beautiful toning on it.

1897 2 Groschen

1952 5 Schilling

1957 10 Groschen

1965 2 Groschen

1969 50 Groschen

I really like the Cameo Ikes. They're actually a beautiful coin in that condition.

They most certainly are. That's what attracted me to this (along with price).

This coin also doubled as being my first NGC slab. I'd like to get a collection of different slabs.

1972-S NGC PR68 Cameo Ike, has some nice blue haze on both sides.

Beautiful design. I've always had a thing for square coins.

If you need help with ID on these, just scan them.

I will later today Should be posted in the World Coin section around 1-2pm EST. Thanks Kuhli

A big bag of world coins from my dad and grandpa! Haven't ID'd a few so this is what I have so far:

Brasil - 1974 10 Centimes, 1982 20 Cruzeiros

Chile - 1975 One Peso, 1979 One Peso

Columbia - 1966 20 Centavos, 1973 20 Centavos, 1979 50 Centavos

Denmark - 1976 25 Ore

Ecuador - 1974 50 Centavos, 1977 50 Centavos (2x)

France - 1940 2 Francs, 1967 20 Centimes, 1979 20 Centimes, 1983 20 Centimes,

Germany - 1897 10 Pfenning

Jordan - 1960 5 Fils

Mexico - 1979 50 Centavos, 1980 50 Centavos, 1974 One Peso, 1977 One Peso

New Brunswick - 1861 One Cent

Spain - 1975 5 Ptas, 1975 25 Ptas

Still have 7 more to ID. One is from Israel, the rest from a former USSR country (I think).

Still, all a coin has to do is make me happy to land in my collection.

And that's all that matters. Bargain bins are my best friend. Pulled a MS Franklin out due to a very, very tiny rim ding (can't see it unless coin is turned on side)......$3.50

Not enough dealers have those kinds of boxes I can get 50 coins for $30 (other then Jefferson's, wheats, etc).

Nothing wrong with that coin, it just has character
