Awesome return on a modern commemorative!!

A couple weeks back I submitted some modern commemoratives to NGC and was overjoyed when the 1995 Civil War clad 50c received a PF-70UC grade! I just got them back the other day and can't keep this coin out of my hands. I find myself looking at it a couple times a day since they came home.

I looked up the census report for this coin and shows a about 1100 have been graded by NGC and only 56 have made the 70 grade! This is the 2nd out of 6 50c commemoratives I have purchased raw that have come back perfect is the eyes of NGC.

I also bought 5 of the Lincoln proof silver dollars when they were released. I was quite surprised how fast the Mint's web site was moving along. I signed on a couple minutes after they were available for sale and it only took about 10 minutes to finish the entire transaction. Not bad at all.

And on a final note...I have been trying to purchase a 2007 SAE (no mint mark) graded MS-70 but no such luck. I just can't find many for sale. The ones I do find go for about $125 or higher and Numismedia values them at $75! They must be quite popular right now.

I enclosed a picture of the Civil war commemorative for everybodies viewing and thanks for taking the time to read my journal and view my collections.

Good luck to all grading those UHR Eagles and the Lincolns!
