Just picked up this raw 1830 bust half dollar with nice obv rainbow toning. Looks like at least a F-Vf. Love the colors, but will probably re-sell shortly, bust coins are neat, but not something I normally buy more than one of.

Now that last one's weird. As a cent, sure, but as a nickel?!

 

Myself, I used to keep the EUR2c as pocket pieces until I lost a bunch because I kept on accidentally spending them as cents.

Yeah I thought it was strange too, but it came out of a new freshly opened roll. It is a little bigger than a cent, but smaller than a nickel, but I'd assume bulk coin counting machines can't tell the difference and just plopped it into the nickel slot.

1944-P nickel, 1964-P quarter, 1911-P lincoln cent, and last but not least...a 2 cent euro mixed in with some nickels.

Your find appears to be a civil war token like the one in this auction...link.

Thats the exact one! Thanks! And yes it does appear to have been in the ground or something of the sort, I was just really surprised to have found it....too bad I don't have the same luck with my metal detector lol!

Okay, I have very little idea of what this is, or how old it is, but today in a register I pulled out what I figured was a crusty wheat cent, then I took a second look. It appears to be some sort of old trade token for Union Flour P.L. WING & CO Albany NY, possibly used during WWI or II. If anyone has any idea of what this is I'd appreciate it. And two foriegn coins also.

Russian uhm...I think kopeks? I forget what its called

And a high grade mercury dime with red/orange rim toning, pictures don't show the coins real lustre, which is brilliant, but that's common with this date.

Thanks Mark!

Here are some of the Mexican coinage I got in a trade on CP, eBay and local coin shops. I love these designs, and am in the works of getting a big 'ol heap of Mexican silver thanks to Jeff!

A 1885 DMPL Morgan! I have some awesome Mexican coins from Jeff to post as well.

Found a 1989-P nickel. I think it's full steps although it may be partial, but it's a nice partial steps regardless, nice upgrade from my change.

Yes that is France.

 

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,

Capt-AWACS, Dutch RVs and German Autobahns don't mix

Thanks

This was an odd one for the US, but I got a 1 cent euro today...which is smaller than a US cent, but still circulated a bit here. I'm not sure of the country....has a theatre mask on the back or something...maybe france?

That dead duck(???) looks ready to be plucked! 

 

(Nice acqusitions.  )

Ever seen the colonial Massachusets 1/2 and 1 cent coppers? The eagle looks pretty similar to me.

I received the last of my trades from Marvin yesterday:

 

I LOVE those crazy looking eagles on those coins, I need to get some of those, too bad my dealer only has a limited amount of good foriegn coins. Hmm, maybe I shall post a want list in the ad forum?! Nice stuff man!

Just finished a sale with BlackHawk, he sent fast payment and is always polite. Thanks a lot Bill!

Okay, not circulation finds, but what I found with my metal detector today! A few cents, and a dime from the 80's/90's and a 100+ year old sleigh bell! Whoo!

Thanks guys, that's my first pre 1900 proof, and I couldn't be happier with it's colors...those scans do the coin no justice!

My proof-60 impared proof, polished 1895 indian. Doesn't look too "polished", a little too shiny, but rainbow (Bright greens/reds/blues) toned to a beautiful color.

Another half real from 1768.

And a new morgan, that has me a little confused about its rim.

Naw, I'm just a sucker for shiny things!

Really nice PL morgan! I think they look awesome, I just never got around to getting one....I just buy everything else lol.

My latest addition. I think I did ok, but I'll decide that when it arrives. You all know how heritage pics has a little different color than the real deal. And I don't really know the extent of the "polish" on it.

I got 3 64's sittin around if you want one of these, let me know and I'll toss it into the mail shortly.

I forget what this error is called, neat though. A nifty lil dime. Basically one end is over twice as thick as the other.

That last one I actully pulled out of circulation, but I couldn't resist a nice die crack like that! Glad you like them.

Btw what do you use to get nice closeup shots like that?

1831 half dollar w/ graffiti and a horidly cleaned 1893 columbus half (got it for $5 so I won't complain lol) and 3 mexican coppers. 2 1/4 reals and a centavo.

I see a missing type coin, hmm.
