jtryka Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 The mailman was good to me this weekend! First I received a nice 1952-D quarter on Friday that I bought from a guy on the NGC forums: Then yesterday I got my prize from Blackhawk for the Wright Brothers contest: Finally, this one didn't come in the US mail, but ironically came in the interoffice mail at work! It's a medal commemorating the first trading of the NYSE after their merger with Archipelago. It's about the size of a silver dollar, not sure of the composition, but I thought it was neat anyway.

tabbs Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Got my 2006 FDC (BU) Vatican set today. http://www.honscha.de/bilder/va06.jpg (Not my picture, but that is what mine looks like. Surprise. ) In my opinion the portrait of the Pope is not very well done. But I suppose that is what Benedict approved ... Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I received my first Barber dime (in a decent grade) to start my new series. Just arrived today from a Heritage Auction. 1914 AU 58. Handsome coin. I can't figure out how to upload the pics nicely, so here is the link for you Heritage members out there: http://coins.heritageauctions.com/common/v...dNo=6010&zoom=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabbs Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Got two commems yesterday - one from Belgium, one from Liechtenstein. The Belgian coin is the one that I mentioned in this discussion http://www.coinpeople.com/BE-10-Bois-du-Cazier-t10836.html ... That one I like; interesting occasion for a commem, and the design is OK too. The other one http://www.coinpeople.com/Liechtenstein-to...oins-t7524.html well, I don't really want to say I regret the purchase, but that is because this is my very first LI coin. The design - örks. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 No pics but got a box (20 lbs or so) of coins from Mexico. It will probably take until the end of the year to sort through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Received it over the weekend but just saw it for the first time: 1916 MS-62 Barber dime won it sight-unseen on a heritage auction. was worried because they usually have fantastic pictures and sometimes they don't list in text if the coin is cleaned/damaged. Luckily, she is beautiful, retains most luster, and not damaged/cleaned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 The mailman was good to me yesterday (picking up where the Fedex guy couldn't seem to accomplish): Very nice Jeff, is that gold or base metal? (because it's you I'll assume gold lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Very nice Jeff, is that gold or base metal? (because it's you I'll assume gold lol) This is the new San Francisco Old Mint commemorative, so this is a legitimate half eagle (0.24187 oz. pure gold), same composition as from 1840-1929. The reverse is taken from the Longacre design in use when the earthquake struck in 1906. The silver dollar commem has the reverse of the Morgan dollar (last used in 1904). I am still waiting for the proof half eagle and the two silver dollars (scheduled on 12/15). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Nice Granite Lady. I heard some of the capsules from the mint were loose and have come apart in shipping or rattling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
