You are right there...I am still looking for a full mint red GEM Unc 1968 2 cents...  |

Today an 1834 Bust Quarter with the O over F in the "United States Of America" Legend on the reverse. It looks like a curved "bridge" between the letters in "of" making them look attached to each other. Its a very solid VF30+ with the third lowest mintage in the 8 years the small size bust quarter was minted.(286,000) Mike  Edited by Mike

I've bought more low-grade coins for my hoard. As usual for these, they grade AG-VG, and some are corroded or damaged or have been cleaned. The price is right, however. Quantity over quality again! Large cents: 1800, 1830, 1834, 1840, 1844, 1845, 1848, 1850, 1856; 2 cents: 1864 LM, 1865; Seated half dimes: 1840O, 1850; Walking Liberty half dollar: yet another 1921S (I now have 5 of them) I noticed later that the 1834 large cent has a rotated reverse (about 30 degrees). This sort of error isn't rare for these earlier coins, but it is interesting anyway. This one isn't bad looking either; it grades approx. VG and it is a bit darker than usual. I do sometimes spend the money on really nice coins, but in some ways I like the junkier ones better. They have more character. Heather |

Well I didn't buy much in my trip to the old coin shop yesterday. My dealer did inform me that he had "underpaid" my wife for a coin last week, and after checking it again he thought it would indeed make MS-63 so he sent another $60 home to her! We definitely have a DEALER THAT IS A KEEPER!!! I picked up a couple of 2006 Silver Eagles to add to my own personal 401K at home. Actually I call it my 401C (coin)as the coins purchased are strictly my emergency fund in the event I need extra cash for anything. I am not attached to them and they are only extras for such a purpose. I can sell anything I buy for my 401C without breaking up anything in my permanent collection. EVERYONE needs a 401C!!!

DJ, sounds like a good week! It should be fun trying to run down silver dollars from all over the world. I agree heartily that the forum has helped create an interest in world coins. Mike P.S, great thread!!!!!! |

djluster take the time to check out South American crown sized silver coins. You can pick up a high grade Peru from the late 1800's in the $15 to $20 range if you are patient and watch ebay closly. There is one in the Perpetual Give-A-Way set that I really hated to part with! Very pleasant design from a long long time ago! You can always just do a search on ebay for crowns! My buy of the week, up to right now, would be the set of unc. Lithuania coins I received yesterday! Every one of them features a KNIGHT on HORSEBACK! Imagine that!!! Edited by crystalk64

Thanks to Terry (Crystalk64) I received my Netherlands 2 Ducat Gold coin yesterday. Beautiful, but even more cool the Knights Wooden Dollar was in the package! My 1/10 oz Australian Gold "Croc" coin from "Bigfella" arrived. A 1908 $10.00 Indian, 1909 $5.00 Indian and 1914D $2.50 Indian gold coins came as well. A very Golden week! Thanks again Terry!!! Oops,I almost forgot, a very sharp 1827 VF30+ Bust half that going to be mailed off to a freind of mine.  |
