Nice Prizes!

Photos would be great

 

Soon to come. I have about 200 photos to edit right now.

 

I'll post them up sometime tomorrow, along with a bunch on OmniCoin (will put the update in sig).

Went through the half off boxes again today since I was at my parent's for the weekend.

 

Most are UNC except the 1926, it's about EF but the color :ninja:

 

1926 US Cent. Blue/Purple toned (pics to come Monday for sure)

1948-D US Cent.

1958-D US Cent.

1964 US Cent.

1964-D US Cent.

 

1955 Cyorus 3 Mils

1945-D Philippines 20 Centavos (BU)

1951 India 1 Pice

1954 Honduras 1 Centavo (man is this thing small!)

1943 Great Britain Farthing

1952 South Africa 1/4 Penny (BU, rose toned rev)

1946 Cuba 5 Centavos

 

Not a bad day. Total for all the coins was $6.40 + Tax.

A little delay but I was setting up another fish tank. While doing some research on fish I ran across this GREAT program for Windows XP: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=69561

 

Yes it really does work. Resized 20 pictures in ~30 seconds.

 

First up is the toned 1926 Lincoln. Not in great shape but the colors are really nice. Hard to photograph them but you get the idea. Whether it is NT or AT, I don't care. It was 35 cents. :ninja:

India 1951 1 Pice. I really liked the horse:

And finally 1954 Honduras 1 Centavo. It's about the size of a US half dime:

Made my first purchase in a while. Been kind of tied up with THREE new fish tanks. Planted tanks take up a ton of time considering I trim each one every other day.

 

Anyways, picked up an UNC 1944-S Lincoln today. Little carbon spot on the reverse, light toning. Would be considered RB, more toward red. Pics to come later (can't find a memory card).

 

Oh yeah. Got a Whitman Mercury Dime folder for my circulated set.

The 1915-S in VF was VERY tempting that was a new arrival. Had to pass because I only brought $10 with me. If it is still there next time I come home, it's mine.

 

Edit: Sorry for the sub-par pics today. Don't have a tripod on hand so I had to free-hand them. I have unsteady hands so.......at least the color is right!

Picked up some GB Penny/Half Penny coins this weekend. Went to a flea market to sell some items with my Grandpa and noticed 4-5 coin dealers. Mainly overpriced silver. SAE's were trading for $15+ each.

 

Anyways I found the GB coins sitting on the end of a table in a big box. Labeled 25 cents each or 5/$1.

 

1967 Half Penny - BU, Red-brown

1967 Penny - AU, Red-brown, rim nick (BOOOOO)

1967 Penny- AU/UNC, Red-brown

1945 Penny - Fine, chocolate brown

1940 Penny - VF/EF, chocolate brown.

 

I just love the reverse on both of these coins. Sorry. No pictures this week as dad needs his camera.

1975 Poland 2 Zloty - Nice unc, little red toning on obverse.

1992 Malaysia 10 Sen - Really nice unc.

1934 Great Britain Farthing - Probably AU or so. Dark toning with luster. I really like this one!

1951 Bolivia 1 Boliviano - Unc with lots of rose toning. Very pretty.

1970 Mexico 20 Centavo - Listed as Unc on the 2x2 but I think it's more of an AU or low MS. Great color, still nicely red.

sounds good - pic?

 

No not until Monday, sorry. Left my lenses back in Toledo and won't be home until then.

 

I'll be uploading a lot of pictures then. Have to show off my finds from 5000 cents searched :ninja:

Back from the coin shop. Purchased three more beauties.

 

Republic of Cyprus 1963 25 Mils - UNC

Great Britain 1861 Penny - I'd call it Good overall

France 1883 5 Centimes - Red/Brown but I suspect an old cleaning, color just looks "off" to me. I'd give it an overall of VF or there about. Rather nice for the price.
