toyonakataro Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 IGWT I didn't buy them all at once. One of those half dimes is from a dealer, two are from board memeber whitch this dealer had viewed and kept for me and others are from auction house whitch this dealer viewed and bid for me. He had kept them for me until I asked him to ship altogether....my average is similar to yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyonakataro Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Tom I'll try to shoot the obverse after I get back home tonight....but I'm a bit shy to show the grades written on obverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinook Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I, too, would like to see the obverses. And why be shy about the typing on a piece of paper. We are all coin collectors here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeInFL Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 OK, now I want closeups of those half dimes!!! Particularly the farthest left PCGS slab in the obverse photos. p.s. are you flicking us a bird in the reflection of the lower left coin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoKopeiki Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I considered posting some of my recently acquired stuff, but it pales by comparison to anything that has been posted so far.

James_OldeTowne Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 ((( I considered posting some of my recently acquired stuff, but it pales by comparison to anything that has been posted so far.))) You shouldn't think that way!! A coin need not be expensive or killer to qualify for a thread like this! Go ahead and post something if you feel like it. Nothing is more honorable than a humble but honest acquisition. Here, I'm not embarrased about posting a humble coin, worth about ten bucks: James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_OldeTowne Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Here's one not worth even ten bucks! Post away! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyonakataro Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Seems like I happened to stick my finger when I shoot the photo...it's my index finger.....not the middle finger anyway Well, actually, I don't have to hide the grade. The left lower one in NGC holder is 1859 in MS64 and the center one in ANACS holder is graded MS62.....low graded coin but I love it.

Ed Daggett Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Toyo, The first part of the PCGS serial number shows the GRADE! The 1861 in the lower right is MS64! Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Nice coins, Toyo, and I was wondering if anyone else would pick up on the PCGS grade within the serial number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoKopeiki Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) Well, ok The most recent project I undertook is Charles IV of Spain year set, minted in Mexico City. Here are my latest acquisitions.
