Life of a BrokeCoinCollector Volume 2

Well I would say it has been a good coining month since my last journal. Can't say good in the terms of what the coins are worth. Had some car troubles and bought some parts for my truck. Those cut into my coining but oh well it happens.

First off....Happy 30th B-Day to me!!!!! (Feb 17TH). Yep the big 30. Woke up that day and was a little scared to stand up....Will my whole body ache.....will my old bones give under the weight??? Nope.....Guess getting older isn't too bad...yet.

Well lets get this party started!

Coin #1

1900 O/CC Top 100 Morgan Dollar. Now I m no Morgan dollar fan boy chasing every different type there ever was but I though this one was kinda cool. Als one I haven't heard of. Apparently they used old CC dies and reused them for O. Simple, cool and something different. Little hard to photo so had to use the microscope at work. Yes this one is cleaned but was $40 shipped so I figured at that price I would at least be able to break even if the need to sell ever arrived.

Coin #2

2005-S Lewis and Clark nickel. I have had one of these on my watch list for prob a year now. Only cost $8.87 shipped but have just never bought it. Think mostly because its always there so not like its going anywhere. Finally just gave in and bought it. This coin I wanted for my custom set "Ships and Boats...Anything cool that floats". I love boats but sadly living in Az has ensured the dream of boating will never come true. Havent gotten a chance to add the details to this coin in the set but will get around it.

Coin #3

1890 1/4 Real. Now this coin I bought a year or so ago because I loved the die cracks on it (IDK why but I love die cracks). Sadly when I needed money I knew my buddy liked it so I sold it him. Wanting to rebuy the coins I sold I contacted him about buying it back and lone behold after on minutes of hounding him he sold it back to me for what he paid. It even came back in a airtite holder...Sweet!

Coin #4

1946 One Shilling. This one went into my type set of these. Also a coin I sold when I needed money. This isn't the coin I sold but these are easy to find for a good price so I got another in good shape.

Coin #5

1946 Six Pence from Southern Rhodesia. Cant say I see many coins form Rhodesia when searching Ebay. Ran into this one for super cheap and I just loved the double axe design. Also has soem cool dark toning on it.

Coin #6

1910 1 Mark. German coins are some of my Favorites. Mostly because I like Eagle designs and almost all of there coins have that on it. This is one I thought I had but after looking in my album realized I hadnt bought it yet. This coins was alos super cheap from the same seller as coin #5.

One thing to say about this seller....His coins where cheap but shipping was $2 per coin and he shipped them the slowest choice he could find. Took 11 days to get to me from 1 state away. $4 for 2 small coins and it takes 11 days...come on man. but hey even with that shipping the coins were still a good deal and wasnt like I needed them right away.

So like I said nothing expensive but still a great lot of coins that I enjoyed buying. Like always...checkout my sets if you have time and if you enjoy my journals feel free to follow me.
