Hi all,I haven't posted in quite a while but Im still chasing Mercury dimes I cant find!! LOLThat's beside the point though, I saw a Gothic Crown from 1847 a few months ago at my local coin club and was very impressed with the design. So Ive been chasing it as well. In my view the 1847 Gothic Victoria Crown, mintage of 8,000, is one of the mot beautiful coins designs Ive ever seen.I acquired this recently as a part of the Great Engraver Series from the Royal Mint of England. Presentation mintage of 3,750. Most likely the only one I will ever have in mint state. Gothic Crowns from 1847 are really expensive and rare. Really love this though as it is an exact copy of the original design.RegardsDoug
Hi all,I have not shared in quite a while but I had to share this one. Mercury error DDO. Trying to finish the entire set, professionally graded, including all errors. Got this from Stacks and Bowers. PCGS PCGS Pop report States there are 8 others in this state and only one graded higher in its category. I can't lie I was excited to get this one!!!RegardsDoug

Working on my Mercury dime collection. Only 12 more , in mint condition, to go and I will have the full professionally graded set, but really getting difficult to find the dates I need in mint condition.I have the 12 I need but the ones I have are not in great condition, G04 to XF40, and are not worth getting graded.Feels like a treasure hunt now!! LOL The photo is the latest addition a 1931 in MS65.RegardsDoug

Got one....finally. Aftermarket and graded but at a pretty good price.
Hi all,Been absent for a while, Ive been engaged in other hobbies a bit, to help keep me busy during this Covid business. At any rate just got this, purchased from eBay. Ive always wanted a chop marked trade dollar that was heavily used and had a history demonstrated by its wear and marks.I was looking st a MS 61 chop dollar to purchase but wasn't willing to pay more than it was worth because it my view how can a chop dollar be graded MS 61 when it has been circulated as evidenced by the chop mark?? Am I wrong in this view?RegardsDougPS iPhone photo ergo sideways. LOL
Hi All,I bought this thing a few years ago. I don't normally buy coins that aren't US collectible. But this one jumped out at me. Only a Mintage of 500.2 OZ. silver made by the Polish Mint. Opinions?? Nuie Islands which I understand is a Commonwealth country affiliated with Great Britain.RegardsDougPS couldn't get the photo to not appear sideways.
Hi all. This is the latest addition to the type set . Barber Half 1892 O with a mintage of 390,000. In my opinion it has great eye appeal with very subtle perimeter toning, it is very well struck as well. Opinions are welcome and appreciated.ThanksDoug

Hi Folks!Am I the only one that objects to 20% buyers premiums? Im frugal and I understand that folks need to make money but 20% seems outlandish to me! Or am I being really cheap :)Doug
