I want to get into Civil War Tokens but I have enough expensive hobbies.

New purchases since the last time I was here. 1839 No Drapery quarter PCGS AU-53   1876-S half counter marked .W listed in the Brunk book as W-1 attributed to Frank Duffield. Purchased from a fellow coin club member.   Also purchased from him are these two Morgan dollars, 1881-O and 1888-O     I have been looking for an 1860-O Half Dime for quite a while and won this one off of Heritage Auctions Sunday Internet auction today along with a possibly unlisted, by Fortin, 1883 dime. Both are PCGS MS-64 with the 1883 having a green bean. With a mintage of 1,060,000 the 1860-O Half Dime would seem to be easy to find but I have found it not, but rather difficult in any grade AU or higher in original problem free condition. It is the only legend obverse New Orleans Half Dime.

My dealer was selling morgans for spot price + 1$ (19$ish) So out of the box I choose 2 shiny Morgans which didn't look polished. I sent one as a gift in secret santa and the other I put somewhere but just can't find it.

I found it in a joblot of world coins . I know it has a hole and some would discard it but considering how scarce these are. To have something this old and steeped in history still feels a privilege to own. And if the hole had to be anywhere I guess it's in the best place

Update about my 1883 Liberty Seated dime. Gerry Fortin has confirmed it is a new die pair for this date. It does not match the two known dime pairs (F-115 & F-119) with a denticle ruler position of -1B0. His F-115 http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/..._115page.htm has a high date with a downward slope and no obverse die clash with a perfect die reverse. This dime has a medium level date with a slight downward slope and die clash marks on the obverse and reverse. The F-119 http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/..._119page.htm has a complete 3 and was a prof die used to strike coins for circulation after it was retired from making proof coins.
