sdcoinguy, I still need to upgrade 6 or 7 to the au-bu status before the set is picture worthy. :)
I started with a small stash of circulated coins and when I started acquiring more I soon realized the unc.'s
where not much more money than the circulated coins. Nice to be completed and most of the upgrades are not the
"tough " ones. But alas, I'm moving on to walking liberty's

I picked up a nicely toned 1879-S that I'm hoping is MS-63 PL. I need to get a pic up on the classic coin forum to get the opinion of the experts, and if they think it is worth sending to PCGS....

I also bought myself the 2010 Proof Silver Eagle - which I'm very pleased with. I can hardly see any marks etc. and it sure looks DMPL to me.

Mint_Marq Update....I bought a 1835 Half Cent on ebay the other day for $44....

Pictures were very crumby...kind a "Pig in a Poke" purchase

I find myself gambling like this sometimes...anyone else have this problem.


Anyway I will post pictures when it is delivered...unless it is so bad that I am too embarrassed .

This was the first year in a long time that I received no coins for Christmas:(. No big deal as I have plenty to keep me happy already:). Nice to see everyone else's pickups!

Happy New Year everyone!

I bought my first US Half Cent. What have you bought with gift cash received for Christmas?
Very nice!

I will let you know what I got after the next coin show (in about eight weeks).

These key dates are more affordable when you compare their prices now to a tank of gas. Its all how you look at it.
What I spent on gas last year would buy me a 1909-S VDB and a 1916-D.

Of course, if I did not spend that money on gas, I would not have had any money at all.

All I asked for is cash to buy coins. It's buring a hole in my wallet! I have $400 ready to spend but no coin show for awhile.

Ahh, the vicious cycle we all hate. Might get even worse this year if the price per barrel keeps increasing.

Just filled my car up with gas. My car takes high octane 91. Paid $1.27 a liter. It cost me just under $90 what a joke. That converts to 5.71 a gallon for My American Friends. Scarry.

It might and I cannot drive any less than I do now! I already stopped my leisure driving.
