The River Hills Collection - All Types (7070) 的钱币相册
Yes, someone scratched a "2," or maybe it's someone's initials "HU" (I can't tell which), onto the obverse. Maybe an ambitious toddler destroyed a family member's coin. Maybe someone thought it was funny to do without realizing it would be collected years later. We may never know why. But that detail is easily overlooked by the coin's overall condition. In hand it's vitually impossible to see without very VERY bright light. The details are wonderful and there is only some light striking in the "O" of OF on the reverse.

A touch of the original factory finish peeks through this mostly chocolate brown Indian Head cent. Good strike with clear "LIBERTY", headband definition, and hair definition. "9" in 1901 is a little rounded like maybe the date was re-punched, but rest of words are very sharp.
I bought this because it was nice, but also as a reminder of my love for Back to the Future.

While this is a perfectly fine example, my MS-67 1943-P Steel Cent has a die clash and some die cracks that add extra visual interest. Unfortunately it's in an NGC holder, so it can't be added here to show.

Good strike, subtle gold and blue toning on obverse. Full stars and kernels of left cob corn show.

One of my favorite things about the Buffalo Nickel is that it looks as if it's chiseled from stone. So even though there can often be a less-than-ideal strike, like with nearly all nickels, they feel organic and natural. Softer strikes on other coins with a more precise design suffer, like the Jefferson nickel, but James Earle Fraser's design benefits from the look. There's a slight die rotation, but nothing spectacular. There is some subtle toning and there is decent luster on this coin.

I love all 1979 coins, so that's why I bought this. But my first-year-of-issue 1938-D Jefferson, graded MS-67, in an NGC holder is by far more impressive.

Beautiful red, green, blue, and purple toning that accentuates the devices on both the obverse and reverse. Nice luster overall. The very first coin I ever bought was a Barber Dime, so these are very special to me.
Pretty gold, blue, and green toning on the edges of both of obverse and reverse. It's also a really nice strike with good luster. Personally I think it's worthy of a Full Bands designation, but I think it's a pretty coin no matter what.
The blue toning is what drew me to this particular quarter. I love it on any coin and, if you look through some of my others, you'll see what I see.
The Walking Liberty is one of my favorite coin designs and this example's sparking luster makes it one of the standouts of my collection.

Attractive pastel blues, deep blue greens, gold, rose, and lavender colors on obverse. Lavender and gold on reverse.

I knew I had to have this as soon as I saw it. I likely paid more than I should have for this, but the year, variety, and condition were all right for me. Building a collection that's personal to you and that you feel good about is important.

Has some light blue toning towards top of obverse. Otherwise a pretty basic Eisenhower dollar.

This was clearly part of someone else's collection being sold because my 1973-S Silver Eisenhower was one auction listing number different AND the PCGS cert numbers are sequential. I found these two separately and I felt like they should be kept together, so I kept them together. That story in my head was enough to buy this and I'm happy about my decision. I have a nicer Type 2, but it’s in an NGC holder.
My first year of issue 1979-S Type 2 is much more exciting to look at, with blues and golds, but this example is more pristine.
