Burks Posted December 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Bought myself a new loupe today. A H.E. Harris and Co. wide field 10x. I tried the 16x but found it difficult to easily focus under normal lighting. Been using it for about a hour today and really love it. It's so much better than my old $3 loupe that was plastic and kind of cheap. The new loupe is heavy metal (steel?) that is easy to handle and focus. I like how it stays extended unlike my old one that didn't like to stay in place. Well worth the $12! They had a Bausch & Lomb but it was $60, very nice piece though.

Burks Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Picked up two coins at the show today: 1941 Mercury Dime - Choice AU. May get a 60 on a good day. 1937 Buffalo Nickel - XF/Scratches. I liked the color and for $1, won't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 From the photo that merc has a great strike, and as far as I can tell is a low MS grade.....62/3 ish. Unless I'm not seeing something you have that lady undergraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Wouldn't surprise me if I undergraded. I'm either spot on or low on my grading of Mercs. Comparing it to my PCGS MS64 this coin is much nicer, especially in the luster and strike. But there is some "flatness" on the left, lower part of the hair. Could be a strike issue though.

Red tones. US 1965 1 Cent - Just a darn nice strike. US 1951-S 1 Cent - Obverse is iffy, reverse is really nice. Bold dark red color. Philippines 1944-S 1 Centavo - Cool colors. I like this type.

gxseries Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Burks, are you sure these are minted in silver? These were minted in ni-cupro and were widely circulated here. (or they might be if they are indeed the silver edition) 1998 Australia 50 Cent - George Bass/Matthew Flinders (Four of them) - About 0.5oz silver each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Flea Market Finds: Jeffersons: 1943-P = XF, nice rainbow toning around the rim 1947-P = Low UNC, light gold toning 1947-S = AU, light rose toning around the rim 1962-P = AU 1970-D = Low UNC, blast white 1971-D = UNC, still in mint cello. $4 for all of them wasn't bad.

Burks Posted April 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 NNC MS-67RD 1913 Swiss 1 Rappen - The previous owner and myself both agree the coin is around the MS63 area. At PCGS/NGC I doubt it would get the RD designation due to coloration. May even get the bodybag because of some "green" on the reverse. Nice coin nonetheless. It was free though.
