Joe, good question.....if and when I hit 60, I might change the thread to box of 100 hahaha :D
BUT often we change collecting goals, etc and you never know, maybe I might change my goals and go to box of 20 or whatnot. Tastes change but I'm having fun at this time :) Thanks for the comments.....I took a lot of time thinking what to get from stuff I sold or traded......sometimes hard to part with stuff you've had for a while. Plus I had to get out of the bullion frame of mind.

17th coin: 1879S MS66 CAC Morgan I'm really picky about morgans, either they have to be crusty looking, blast white, or nicely toned. However due to those criterias that I have set, many slabbed morgans are really pricey if they fit those criterias. I found this one for a fair price and was given a layaway so thats a plus! Looks nice, I hope to add more morgans to my box and already have my eyes set on some. Perhaps I won't have to pay out of pocket but can sell some junk silver or what not to get the others I want.   |

18th coin 1851 PCGS XF40 CAC $10 Liberty Early no motto gold w/CAC sticker, this one has a great crusty look to it that I enjoy. I wonder who had this in their pockets and what they spent this on as $10 was quite a large sum of money back then! I traded with someone I know and when I saw this, I wanted to add it to my box of 60. Next goal, get a no motto "S" mint coin!  |

Awesome coins man, I love the toned Buffalo and the 1921 Peace dollar. The darkened fields (someone called it circulated cameo on here) look so good on a circulated coin, highly desirable imo. Got any nice copper? |

19th coin: 1852 $10 PCGS XF40 This coin should be coming in a little while, I traded for it. Thats whats great about this hobby is how if we get bored of some coins, we can trade/sell them to get other coins we like and not have to pay anything out of pocket. This coin has a beautiful look, as I mentioned before, I love circulated gold. Also I like the older no motto gold coins and this is a year I didn't have.   Edited by mkman123

20th coin 1960 PR66 DCAM Franklin Franklins aren't too popular however the toning that some have as well as the proof cameos make them fun to collect and popular among some. I really like cameo franklins as its beautiful! This one is from a friend I know who bought it raw and sent it in! LUCKY him!! Also I did not have to spend big money for this coin, I was given a very good "friend" deal!   |

21st coin 1921 $1 PCGS Au55 I know I know, I already have a 1921 posted. However with many collectors, sometimes we find coins we already have one of but like another and have duplicates! I think the 1921 Peace dollar is a nice coin and even though they are a rare/key date, they can be had for really good deals! They aren't too pricey compared to the 1928 or 1934s. As I mentioned before, I enjoy my silver dollars in 3 ways: Either circulated with a nice crusty look (usually VF-XF), blast white in grades of MS65 and higher, PL or DMPL would be great too, and ones with beautiful toning! This one has a nice circulated, crusty look to it. When I saw it, I was like must have!   |

22nd coin 1877S $1 NGC XF-45 I have always wanted a dollar coin before morgans and peace. Yes morgans and peace are popular however I was determined to try and get something besides a morgan or a peace. When I saw this coin, the price, and the look of it I had to try and get it! I didn't have to spend any money as I swapped for it. Basically I had something I no longer wanted and so I sold it and used the money to buy this. Didn't have to take any money out of my paycheck, etc for this.   |

23rd coin 1875CC $1 NGC VF25 I think any coin with a CC mintmark is neat and I don't any silver dollars with a CC mintmark, plus I wanted a slabbed coin as the Chinese are counterfeiting everything nowadays. The slab is more of a piece of mind that the coin is an authentic coin vs made in China. So as I looked around, I noticed how pricey CC Trade dollars are and was going to give up until I saw this coin and the price tag. Again like the other Trade dollar, I sold something I wasn't as interested in to pay for this! Can't wait to get this coin in hand, this is the sellers pictures. I'm excited! Oh yeah, a criteria I set for myself is that if I'm going to get a cc coin, I have to be able to see the mintmark.   |

Hi Hondo, thanks a lot! Yea my friend had a good eye.....I haven't found a cameo frank in a proof set yet! I think cameo franks are beautiful and when I see one for a very cheap price I try and get it, even if I have doubles already Hahah :)
For common dates franklins in dcam isn't.pricey at all! I paid less than 175 for this one from my friend
