2 - 2000 P sacawagea dollars. Thing is they look like the were freshly broken out of rolls.

Working on year/mints on the morgans I already have a 1882 O over S but this is just a standard 1882 O And a 1883 S Slight doubling reverse at "America". Kind of a tough year.

I like the color on the rappen also.

Love the trime.

I second drwstr123 on using copper braid solder remover. Its about the least intrusive.

First up a impulse coin. 1765 russian 5 Kopek This has been "oiled/greased". But I got it cheap. Working on commemoratives 2004 uncirculated Edison with box Working on Morgan mint marks 1880 s Vam 34 S mint mark set to left and entire date slightly doubled. Also working on types 1878 8 tail feather vam 14.5 Spiked A with Open Nostril E is doubled to the right.

Working on mint marks in my redbook. 1894 O Morgan Dollar And one vam 1882 O over S mint mark VAM 4 recessed die. Just not sure whether early or late die state. It does appear to have a triangle shape on the bar.

Really nice, BTW did a quick browse on your gallery, thats a neat set up.

Yep, it caught my eye. Most of the coins are the same from week to week. Just a few ones get tossed in. Same bin I picked up the one with the stella and two hawks. Thought about picking up one of the BU russian rouble fakes and tossing it over in the russian forum. (It is silver and sold for silver price+ mark up.) No copy marks on it but they do tell you its a copy.

Okay a busy day My first 2007 a silver eagle. Now that prices dropped on these. Benjamin Franklin Scientist 1968 Aswan Dam Commemorative 1 pound from the bulk silver box Next my favorite 1887 O VAM 2 Doubled 1 and tripled 7 date One of the largest shifts known. With part of the double on the 1 showing up as a dot on the left side also the tripling showing up as a dot on the left side of the 7

1878 S trade dollar 1888 S Morgan Dollar

Working on Modern Commemoratives 1992 Columbus Proof Dollar

I picked up one of the 1976 three coins silver sets. Could have used more tender care especially the scratches on the plastic. And a 1995 Olympic proof dollar

Got my legacy proof set today. So 2006 Franklin 2006 San Francisco mint Rest of the Legacy set

Well, the dealer did not have the mint sets yet. But I picked up a 1991 premiere proof set And a 1991 Korean War commemorative proof dollar

One of the dealers I use is supposed to have some of mint sets I'm missing also a couple commemoratives. I'll be picking them up Friday. Like I said deja vu.

One 1996 silver proof set. (Not copying Art just luck of the draw on a bid.)

Why not they are minted by the mint. And they do sell just the envelopes for envelope collectors.

Working a little on the mint sets 1960 mint set

A few more commemoratives. 1990 Eisenhower Dollar hazy needs a bath 1993 Jefferson Dollar 1999 Yellowstone Park Dollar

Just the lighting. Trying to get a shot thru plastic is hard for me.

Its a silver crown. Just the marker on the reverse center is brass. The brass part is from the original prime meridian which was marked by a brass line at the Greenwich Royal Observatory. On that page click on "Prime Meridian". There is also some info about the Observatory on the page and links from it.

2000 Isle of Man brass from original Prime Meridian at the Royal Greenwich Observatory. And a westward journey nickel set

Nope, made them from clad quarters. I wish I had known they had those. I would have brought a few junk silvers along. First time I had seen this type also. It surprised me the Yosemite store did not have the comm.'s coins there also. I did get another nail on aluminum medallion for my walking stick though. So far for that parks I've visited include Yosemite, Grand Canyon North rim, Grand Canyon bright angel trail, Zion, and Arches. I need to order a couple more for other places I missed getting while I was there.
