FREE COINS!

#1 Unread post by Matthudson »

Now that I have your attention, Ed,

I'd like to brag a little. I am now up to 82 coins that I have "mined" from lots I've bought! Okay... most of them pennies, but Hey! I gotta start somewhere!

Just sold the "break even" coin on a lot of 19 1883 Liberty Nickels and wound up with 6 free keepers. All nice AUs too!

One of 'em is on its way to a good friend who has given me constantly good advice over time, and helped me focus a little better on my "numismatic hygiene"! I'm not in such a hurry to buy a coin, just because it's a date or type I don't have. I've paid my dues. I've got quite an admirable junk box to show for it too!

Here are the top three!

I did dip the last one, and am super glad I did! It worked! Darn thing's a headlight now!

Anybody know where I can order a roll of 1796 Bust Quarters at a good price? LOL!

Happy Hunting, whatever your method!

Can someone explain the blobs on the rims on the first one? Not solder, I hope, from being in a bezel? I don't like formerly embezeled coins!

Nice coins......

Those tiny rim extrusions...... appear to be just a bleed over from the strike.

Sorry, I meant Earle! I guess I was thinking Ed Earl, 'cause you remind me of Burt Reynolds!

LOL!

My forum name is in honor of my grandfather, Earle Corbett, who started me in coins when I was an ankle biter. Using his name is a great way of reminding myself of the great times we had together and gives me hope I can do the same for my grandkidlings.
