Hello Fellow Numismatists!

Today my blog is going to be about some recent pickups.

A couple of days ago, I had my mom drop me by my local coin store. The first thing I did while I was there was grab a couple tubes. The next thing I did was grab nicest standing liberty quarter that they had in the appropriate section for a trade. Next, I asked if they had any "Junk" silver (of course, it isn't really junk, it is just another name for common silver coins), unfortunately; though, they didn't have any. Next, I asked to look through the Indian head box. I ended up finding a few that I needed, a couple upgrades, and two interesting ones: a 1907 that has every little detail, but the rim is chewed up and it has a little corroded I would say it is a higher grade AU details. Also, I found a 1904 that has weird toning/coloring that isn't the most attractive and might even be a result of being cleaned, but it has lots of detail, and it is probably a lower grade AU details. Next, I asked to look at a tray that had a lot of Kennedy half dollars on it, proofs ,40%s, you name it. Off of that tray, I found a couple ones that I thought were a great deal. I found a really mishandled 40% Proof bicentennial half dollar ($5), a beautiful 1970-S Proof half dollar ($10), and a 1982-S Proof half dollar ($3), all of which are going straight into my type set. Speaking of my type set, I am now trying to upgrade all of the "normal" coins with a proof. For example, instead of a BU 2010 shield cent, I now have a PF 2019 Shield cent in my type set. I currently have ten proof coins in my type set. 

I hope you enjoyed reading this little "update" and that you have a great, safe, fun, enjoyable, Covid-free, coin collecting, and a maybe even silver finding rest of the week!
