Picked up a couple cheap ones this weekend. The Morgan was a just because. (The toning on reverse. ) And the cent because I have neglected the large cents for awhile. 1852 Large cent 1878 Morgan not sure about vam yet looks like it might be a 111 but it does not say anything about the polished wing.

There is 5 1732's on omnicoin hopefully one of the owners will post them.

Bringing this one back up. I had a chance to get the nickel PMI'ed out at work. (Non-destructive composition metal testing) Anyways just wondering if this was in acceptable range on metal found in nickels. It turned up 73.82 copper, 26.71 nickel, .4 magnesium. From info I have it should be 75% copper and 25% nickel.

The peace dollar has just a hint of toning on the top left obverse. Getting the 95 s gets me down to 10 left to have all the business strike year and mints left.

Tried uploading last nite. Ended up having to do it before work. 1854 50 kopeks 1895 S Morgan 1921 Peace

I'll have to post the pics tomorrow for some reason I'm having a tough time uploading stuff. Keeps timing out our takes a few hours. Anyways the coin dealer did not have the dates I needed but had a 1895 S morgan dollar I decided to pick up. Real tough year/mint. Also just because I've wanted one I got a 1921 Peace dollar and a impulse buy of a 1854 russian 50 kopek.

Okay, heres the pics first the 1960 10 peso 1956 10 peso And 1860 O Seated liberty dollar

Dropped by a new coin shop today. Picked up a few items. 1984 Prestige proof set. (Did not have one, and their cheap. I have the dollar single already.) 1956 and 1960 Mexican 10 peso from the bulk silver bin. And I have been wanting a seated liberty dollar, so I picked up a vf 1860 O one. Common year but right price. So I'll still have money from my casino run, for the GSA Carson City morgans I'm hunting for. Pictures tomorrow on what I got so far.

A "almost" radar dollar bill 29300923, so close but yet so far.

They really need to give me a piece of the action. If you ever make it down to Houston Houston Numismatic Exchange. Kind of an every thing is piled up shop. Probably one of the busiest shops here. Today one guy buying $1,000 worth of silver eagles, one selling scrap jewelry, one buying a few 1 oz credit swiss gold bars, one buying a 1999 silver proof set and some silver eagle proofs, and about 3 more browsing + me.

And one more today from the bulk silver bin. 1947 panama

Picked up a few more from the bulk silver bin today. 1919 5 Bolivares 1870 Peru Sol

I picked up a 1887 VAM 5 double date "Top 100 VAM" only problem I already have one. I really need to keep a list of VAM's I already have. Oh well.

Really nice walker.

Good to see more Russian coins come up. Just need more folks from the Russian forum.

Another tough year and mint 1893 O. The color looks washed out from the photo but the coin is darker. (I have not gotten use to the new camera and all of these seem washed out.) Looks like a vam 3 slanted date. It fits the description and the picture on my book, but the one shown on vam world seems to have a little more slant. The O looks a little slanted but I believe within normal range.

From the coin show this weekend. Did not really see any that jumped out on me. But I did pick up one year/mint mark I did not have and a crescent toner, just because. Also picked up this years silver and clad proof sets. And mint set. 1882 S Morgan 1892 S Morgan. (Did not have.)

1762 Rouble BTW I'm out of it for awhile next coins 1740, 1696, 1661

1765

Tommy since you started this thread say okay and I'll toss in the 1765

From this years Texas Renaissance Festival Greenman on one side, Celtic Knot on the other. I thought about having him do a off center strike since I do like the errors but it turned out okay anyways. The Celtic Knot shows a die clash from what appears to be another Celtic Knot. I did not get a chance to get pictures this year from the drop hammer mint what made these. (My wife had the camera to photo the nieces there. )

1765 and 1762 for me.

All I needed was an extra $4,700 and it would have been mine.
