Burks Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Dad said he found this behind the TV not too long ago. Guess the Easter Bunny got a bit lost after last Easter. 1oz of silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffibunny Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 A few medals my family brought back for me from New York City. First is kind of like those penny machines you see all over. Except this one strikes a large blank right in front of you. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v154/burks/DSC02337.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v154/burks/DSC02338.jpg Next is pretty easy to explain, the pictures do well. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v154/burks/DSC02335.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v154/burks/DSC02336.jpg Ug! Statue of Liberty!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Great package from Kboy 45 Mercs 11 Roosies (only 1 non-silver) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 The long awaited 1909-VDB: That coin is MUCH better than those I've seen at shows for $25+. A big thanks to LostDutchman Here is a 1937 that was won from an Ebay auction. Took a gamble with no pictures. I got the better end of the deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Yes the Buffalo is THAT color. It caught my eye and will looks fantastic in my Type Set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffibunny Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Awesome stuff! Nice toning on the Columbian! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Awesome stuff! Nice toning on the Columbian! The same dealer has two equally toned Columbians. Same price and grade. This one had the better obverse toning compared to the 1893. The 1893's obverse was nice but the reverse was fantastic. Too bad it had a very large thumb print or it would have went home with me instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Outstanding stuff. The 37 Lincoln is fantastic. So is everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuldFartte Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 The Columbian is a real beauty! I need one of those UNC 1909 VDB's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Went to Willard's Coin Exchange today (my favorite place for bargains). Picked up: 1941 Netherland East Indies 1/4 Gulden. Gold toned. 1960-B Switzerland 1/2 Fr. 1975 Netherlands 5 Cents. Toned bright blue. 1920 Cuba 1 Centavo. Pictured below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I like the 1 centavo. If I recall they were minted in Philadelphia during this timeframe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I like the 1 centavo. If I recall they were minted in Philadelphia during this timeframe. Interesting fact. Didn't know anything about that. Guess I need to read up some more. The colors caught my eye while digging through the box. The way they formed on both sides accents the design quite nicely. My goal was to get Farthings and Swiss coinage, I get distracted easily in the 50% off box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Went to the Wooster High School Coin Show today. Really didn't see much (many of the same dealers I see show after show in Toledo). Did pick up: 1992 Great Britain 5 Pence. Gold toned rims. For 12 cents, it had to be mine. 1951/52 Morocco 50 Francs. One of the coolest designs I've ever seen. 1955 British Caribbean Territories 1/2 Cent. Pretty reds and blues. 1945 Malaya 1 Cent. My first square coin (bought my dad one as well). 1952 East Africa 5 Cent. I love the designs from that country. 1964 Venezuela 5 Centimos. Nearly bag mark free. 1979 France 50 Francs. Been wanting one of these for quite a while. For $11 in UNC condition, I couldn't pass it up (below bullion). I did see a nice display of fake coins. Lots of 09-S-VDB cents, 1916-D dimes, and even a 1913 Liberty Nickel. Pretty interesting to see. That's all for today Might throw a few pictures up later tonight.

jtryka Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I see the same dealers all the time at the monthly South Bend show too, but at least their inventory changes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I see the same dealers all the time at the monthly South Bend show too, but at least their inventory changes! At least at this show I won a raffle prize. A "silver dollar" valued at $30. They are sending it out in the mail today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Medal from the collectors edition of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC Game). Pretty cool medal, VERY nicely struck on the obverse, really deep. Didn't even know it came with the game. I was surprised (didn't see it listed on the box the first time I looked)!
