Mark Stilson Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Picked up 50$ worth of kennedy halves at the bank today. Got 59 40% silver and one 90% 1964 half. The toning on the 1964 looks a lot better in hand nice peach - red tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stilson Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I tried to photograph a purchase today, but gave up. I volunteered to work at the Houston Gem and Mineralogical Society annual show yesterday and today. (I'm a member.) While there too much shiny stuff. Rocks real shiny rocks. Look at the shiny rocks. Must buy some shiny rocks. Anyways I went ahead and picked up a small parcel of opal, a couple coprolite slabs (fossilized Dinosaur poop ), a trilobite, fossil leaves, fossil shark tooth, and a couple geodes. They main thing I was trying to photograph was the opal but a rough parcel is about impossible to get a good picture of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I'm thinking the lighting will be quite a challenge. Have fun with it. Sounds like a nice show and some nice purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'm starting to pack up to move. And found 3 coins I had set aside and forgot about. 1801, 1803 and 1806 Large Cents. In poor condition, but they were cheap plus a group discount. 1801 1803 1806 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Nice coins Mark. Where are you moving to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Up north of Houston by Conroe Texas. We are supposed to be signing sometime after Christmas. Just found another I coin bought as silver awhile back. Complete with finger prints. 1982 Canada Dollar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Well this is fun. 2 more 1882 S and 1904 O Morgan Dollars. Haven't even checked for VAM. Believe it or not these are PCGS green label rattler 63's. A couple I think they graded too high maybe just barely squeak by as 63's.

Art Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Enjoy the move and your new home. The PCGS rattler's tended to be more conservative than they are today but there were always some questionable calls. The coins look nice in the photos. I especially like the design on the Canadian dollar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Well, my mistake to go to the coin shop. Both of these were spur of the moment buys. Mainly just seeing a proof like morgan at a reasonable price. 1884 New Orleans Mint Dollar 1908 Denver Mint Quarter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Both very nice buys. Must be a good coin shop that you visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Three more forgotten coins. One of these days I need to go through the rest of my coins. Right now I'm just posting a few items that catch my eye. I've got a lot in what could be called mass storage. 1896 Cent 1866 Italy 10 centesimi 1831 Dime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'd like to take a trip through your old storage. WOW! My collection would be very happy with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I doubt if I ever will photograph all of the proof and mint sets. I think I only put up a few sets out of those. I do want to go through and at least get the rest of the silver quarters, mercury dimes, and indian heads. I almost thought about swamping omnicoin when Anton started the contest. I never did put those 5 morgans (I ended up giving my nephew the 1889.), 1928 peace dollar, and the rest of the coins I bought in a group from the pawn shop. May try some more in the next few days.
