Who's a sucker for pretty coins?

[Rodebaugh]

Barry did they come from JMSCoins?

That outfit seems to be the Ike folk to know.

[barrytrot]

No, "Coins Are Fun". She has sold me 20 or so NICE toners including 4 of my all time favorites! I think most of the top 4 are probably somewhere in this thread.

[Rodebaugh]

Thanks Mike for this super nice raw toner. It is fresh back from PCGS

[barrytrot]

A very nice one has that "original look" and also color. Very nice!

[Rodebaugh]

Barry any coins at the Heritage Auction you have your eyes on?
Have youe seen the number of GOLD CAC'ed morgans they have!!!! It's downright scary.

Nice pick up! I now see why you spent $943 for it

[barrytrot]

There are no coins I'm currently bidding on, but I'll be at the FUN auction so I'll but a coin or 2 there for sure.

[barrytrot]

I picked up the Trade Dollar from the Legend Morphy auctions after the auction closed. I was hoping it didn't hit the reserve

[Rodebaugh]

TV is much nicer than the Secure+ image

Its a coin that I would love to see in hand.

If you are at the FUN show you can see it. That's where I'm picking it up.

[Rodebaugh]

I will not be able to make it to the FUN show this year. Darn shame to. I'd love to finger a few of the morgans before I place my bids.

I'm taking off Dec 21 - Jan 6 .....So I realy shouldn't take anymore days off.

[barrytrot]

Well I'll tell you which is closer the drab Secure+ or the bright TrueView Or somewhere in between

What!!!! Dude, what happened? Oh, well you've gotta work, but I was looking forward to shaking your hand.

I picked this up yesterday, it's a beautiful coin.

Thank goodness it is encased in hard plastic because the very first thing I did when I got to my hotel was drop it and the plastic cracked! But the internal "circle" is still intact. I'll get it recertified, but it's perfectly fine thank goodness

You have to angle it to get the colors but it looks great at all angles!

[Rodebaugh]

Dropped it !!! Good to hear it is solid in hand. I had doubts from the secure + image.

Picked up any coins from the auction? I have two so far. Want to pick them up for me

[barrytrot]

I'm already driving to the airport. I didn't buy anything at the show. I bought my wife a new car for Christmas so I had less than zero to spend

[barrytrot]

I haven't bought much lately but I treated myself to this one yesterday (I don't have it in hand yet)

[Rodebaugh]

I'd say its a knockout in hand. Love the look of cameo proofs with bullseye toning. I think you'll be pleased.

Not sure If I posted theses FUN newps or not but here they are:

Very strong technical 63+++. At first wasn't sure if I liked the look. But the more I see it the more I like it. CAC approved so what the hay


This was the better of the two AU50 39-O's that went up for auction. Both were in NGC holders (yuck) gonna try and sticker this one then cross her to PCGS.

[barrytrot]

I always like "dirty" looks to coins. I would certify one that has dirt covering so much that the coin is invisible

That 1859-O is nice in my opinion!

[barrytrot]

Here are a few I've owned for a while and finally sent to PCGS for imaging. What is cool is they are consecutive numbers (I left out one that I've already shown before and a several that are just "ok"). Yes, now I want to eventually get my entire collection numbered consecutively

[Doctor Steuss]

Gadzooks!

[Rodebaugh]

The 90-CC.....Nice Coin Mr T.

And yes that Ike is a Gadzooks Coin!

[barrytrot]

Here is a recent new purchase. This one is in my top 10 in terms of in hand eye appeal, probably top 5!

Gobsmacked.

[barrytrot]

A few more of my coins that I have recently true viewed. All of these are pretty nice in hand also, but the True Views REALLY bring out the color as usual
