Ætheling Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Finally persuaded myself to buy my first coin for 2006. I managed to pick up a Trajan (98-117 CE) Denarius yesterday, featuring Mars on the reverse. Pictures will follow eventually when the scanner is reattached to the computer.

Art Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Congratulations. That was quite a "cold spell". Can't wait to see the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The PCI Guy Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Long story cut short. Old scanner bust, new scanner acquired yesterday. Not as good as my old on but finally the pics as promised. As you can see i haven't figured the settings out yet! So far this year i've made two coin purchases, this one back in March; (and i'm not happy with that scan). The other i purchased three weeks ago is a fake £1 coin, which i might try and picture later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Nice coin. Keep practicing with the scanner you'll figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted March 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Some acquisitions since I was last here; 2008 The first two are very Stujoe The next two are my fave US coin design ever (i have a non full-head 1924 as well); 2009 (I've got my eye on a few more, but i dunno whether to go for another half guinea or another SLQ, either way it'll probably all but end my coin budget this year).

Ætheling Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thanks guys. Yeah i've taken quite a shine to the SLQs. I've always liked them and for a while I thought about getting a nice example of one, so eventually I bought one, unfortunately that's where I slipped up and got addicted... I buy them as an when I can afford to, or as and when I can find a seller that will ship them to England! The only real downside is the sting of the import tax. So I don't buy them often.

Ætheling Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 My first purchase of 2010, you could have guessed it would be yet another SLQ. This time it's a 1918P. Sorry about the poor photos, I can't rescan them as my scanner is useless now. I've got my eye on a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 That's a great looking coin. I'll bet it's stunning in real life. (And PCGS too ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Most of my SLQ's are either PCGS or NGC, although that said the 1928 is ANACS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ætheling Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I haven't bought one of these in a while, so this is my last purchase of the year, a rather splended Type 2 1917. Can't wait! Got to love SLQs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ætheling Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 August is here again so what's new? Well I save like heck for this and it arrived back in March, I can't remember if I posted it or not, so here it is again, 1921P (This is my favourite purchase of the year) Then I thought I'd push the boat out again, and a major splurge in June saw me nab this, an Edward VI (in the name of Henry VIII as a posthumous issue), gold half sovereign, minted c.1547-1550 Then a few more modern era sovereigns Victoria 1851 Victoria 1857 And George V 1917C Ottawa mint Sovereign (my first Canadian sovereign) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ætheling Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Love the Tudor gold! In all my years collecting it is not very often that I have had coins from the Tudor period, apart from four really battered silver coins in the 'Silver Jar' (which I don't count), i've only ever had two Tudor coins in collectable grades, a Mary groat and an Elizabeth tanner, however, I sold those some years ago. This is the first time i've ever had a gold coin from this period though. I've had medieval and Stuart in the past but always missed this era. It's not like they're not available (funds permitting), the Angels and Crowns turn up every now and again, but sovereign denominations not very often at all. So it was a case of veni, vidi, emi. Took me about three months wages though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ætheling Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Great coins. They're all beauties. Entering them in PCI? Not this time Art, as I didn't take the photos (which I believe is one of the rules!) I haven't got a camera or a scanner at the moment, so that kind of stops that!

It's usually good to note that you're using the sellers photos or such just in case there's a question about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
