So this is the trend to get common coins in very uncommon condition? I get uncommon coins in more than common condition. I don't have 1926-S Buffalo in MS65 but do have one in VF30. This to me is where it is at, but I leave others to collect anyway they want. I just always wanted the early 20th century coins in sets of higher grade...VF and above. Both styles are perfectly legitimate.

That 1938-D Buff is a stunner. Looks fully BU with great rainbow toning, MS66+ for me.

Thanks jbuck! It's always nice to know that even the "small" finds are appreciated too. Not just the big-money.

Just got this 1796 Draped Bust Large Cent today. I've been looking for a decent upgrade that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Got this one off the bay for 105 shipped and am pretty happy with it for now.

I got this 1841 Daniel Webster USS Constitution Hard Times Token HT# 16 yesterday in the mail.
I have two or three Hard Times Tokens now and about that many civil war tokens now in my collection.

Like those coin shop buys, paralyse. My LCS only has a bin of foreign coins that looks like they're being sold by the lb.

I recently bought this 1808 half. It's a VF-25 which looked nicer than my current VF-25 but, when I got it in person, it actually looks identical. In fact, they both have a kind of toning about the portrait which looks kind of like a wave retreating. Not sure why they both would have the same thing or even what it is exactly.

Well, I just blew my budget for the next year, but I'm still married!
She has been off the market for over 20 years, and not going anywhere soon. From the Flanagan collection, hope you like her.

If you have been following my Mercury dime thread, then you've seen this. I just got it today in a set that I got on ebay that contained no fewer than a dozen BU coins, as early as 1920. This was the prize though.

The second coin, the 1871 Seated dime, isn't mine yet, but I have agreed to purchase it for my type set. I've looked at a zillion Seated dimes, and until this one, didn't see one that "did it" for me. This one "does it" for sure.
