Great looking coins. The seated liberty was particularly nice to see. I prefer whatever grabs my attention and "speaks" to me.

They can be yours Jbuck... You know I find that tempting, but I do have a coin show next weekend and I have limited coin budget. Quote:

...just like the shop on TV channels. So basically... They will cost me $239.88 (twelve monthly payments of $19.99)... Plus "processing" (which is paid in advance).    |

I'm a real sucker for toned coins. I don't have many, but when I look at my collection, the ones I'm most happy with are unique in some way (I just love my Charles I halfpenny, and I have a few nice Rainbow Morgans and Buffalo nickels). I generally can't afford key dates in decent condition at this stage, so I reckon right now I'll buy coins I like and try to select decent but lower-value coins, and have fun learning. Later, I can sell or exchange the accumulated lower-value coins for more valuable coins. For now, I'm trying to learn how to make sure I don't fall for cleaned or AT coins, memorize key dates, and get a basic clue as to grading and values. I'll make mistakes and probably get shellacked now and then along the way, but so long as I don't go nuts, no money is wasted. If I lose on a coin, the money lost is an investment in education. BTW, I LOVE that first Ike! Edited by twslisa

 I like worn coins, shiny coins, silver coins, gold coins, proof coins and nicely toned coins. The only coins that has not interested me much is varieties and errors. Never got into those but the rest of them.....  Love them all! |

I like coins that have had just a bit of time out in the real world. So for the most part these days I like coins in the AU range, occasionally into XF if it looks good. I like the character and in the higher AU grades (55 & 58) they can be every bit as nice as a low MS coin. The tradeoff being that you lose much of the luster, but they tend not to look beat up in the way MS 60-62 coins do. Also, there is usually a big jump in price between AU and low MS, so if I like AU as well or better, why not save money that I can use to buy more coins.
That being said, higher grade MS coins are beautiful. However, getting the coins I like in those higher grades can be cost prohibitive.

I have no slabs. If and when I do acquire a coin in a slab, regardless of what it is, out of the slab and into an Album. To each their own.
