One 1964 proof set. Looking flawless at 50 x

1916 Barber dime vg Nice coin but nice shape.

Late arrival today. 1965 special mint set. It has a real nice toned cent in the set. A gold red color to it.

One 2003 Silver proof set.

one roll p and d from the mints "found" 2001 kennedy halves. (Yes, I went ahead and got some.)

One 2005 satin finish mint set.

This one deserves comment. Recieved in clean, undamaged, original sealed box. So any damage was from mint handling. The satin finish shows off dings ejection marks, and bruises excellently. Finer dings I have not seen on mint sets. I have got to admit they did miss dinging up a couple coins out of the set. On the dime it has a nice small die crack in the hair and a "blob" of metal in it. Takes a 6 x to just start seeing the blob so I'm not really talking very big. Now I'm used to seeing die cracks which are toward the edge or orginate from the outer section of a coin. This is completely inside the hair. At first I did think it was another scratch, but looking at it with a 30x and 60 x its a crack. I'm not going to attempt pictures, since they would not turn out through the cellophane. Also I doubt my camera could pick up this.

Needless to say, but I am not thrilled with satin finish. It might be a good idea if the mint took more care with the coins.

I can't spot a Maximilian like this in my book either. The obverse is the same as a 1866 since it does not have the ribbon? below the bust, But the reverse does not match anything.

It did surprise me. Now I wish I would have had time to go thru the other bins.

1944 Sweden 25 Ore .400 silver (Got two of these)

1883 Sweden 50 Ore .600 silver

Did not win a door prize but this time had fun slumming in the bargain bin.

Okay, went back by the coin show and sat around chatting with a guy who frequents PCGS chat board. Forgot to get his name, but.. Anyways sat around waiting on the door prize announcement and went thru the bargain bin. Total damage $13.

1965 Switzerland 1 Franc .835 silver Really like this one. BTW marked Sweden?

1955 Sweden 1 krone .400 silver

1946 Sweden 1 krone .400 silver

I'm splitting up the booty pictures.

I was hoping to find a phil. 1893 morgan in better shape at the coin show. But this does leave me with a 1895 morgan left to fill out my morgan year set.

1893 cc

From the mint

Two 2006 proof sets

and one quarters proof set

Only thing one set has the nevada quarter small ejection mark and the Sac has a small ejection mark. The other two don't appear at 30x to have any faults.

Thats a coin type I'd like to collect. Those are really nice. But already have too many irons in the fire.

Two Morgans.

1883 O Slight die rotation on this one.

And a 1885 O Mistake coin here. I forgot to mark the other one in my book, So another duplicate year/mint.

Been going thru all my change recently, hoping to find more modern errors and faults. I've got a stack of state quarters heading thru next. Did a fast check, nope , no extra leaf wisconsins.

1979 d Susan B. Anthony dollar (Actually asked for it from the clerk. ) with die by stars on right side obverse.

Got these given to me after going thru and organizing my Father-in-Laws coins.

1923 Peace Dollar (Not up on omni until I get the red finger nail polish off it. )

1957 Cincuenta Centavo Mexico

1952 5 Ore Norway

Kind of fits in both the large cent and british coins.

I'm on edge waiting for several more coins to come in. The 2006 proof sets from the mint, a couple more silver dollars, some error coins.

1772 Farthing

Right there on the reverse with the 5 cents.  In the shells.

How can you tell the date on these?

Have to wait awhile for upgrades. But it puts me 2 from a complete morgan year set. Of course its the 1893 and 1895.

May sound strange but I like the Barber head the most. Really hard to find good grade barbers.
