Two new Frankies... The 54-s was tough to image through the old fatty NGC slab and the particular toning.

Congrats Paul! Nice Clad Washie.

Nice Quarter and dime there Shane!

WOW Shane, once again nice group of toned material! I particularly the 1880s morgan, and the first 54d Lincoln!! Unbelievable price at 25c It you get tired of looking at it, It would fit nicely into my collection

Seems as if grading copper at the TPG's is not consistent. I believe the eye appeal and strike gave the grade a . As those hits on the reverse are right in the focal area and a nick on lincoln's head too. But lovely eye appeal (thumbs u

Paul you never cease to amaze me with you Jefferson's! That 41-d is very deserving of the Star* designation. Congrats!

Is that Columbian half in a ms63 slab Fishfinder?

Just received today. Looks FBL to me.

Is that a 51 proof Fishfinder?

Oh my good Lord. That is phenomenal. It rivals the coin that Anaconda sold a last year. Stunning. Great Pickup! Here is the Anaconda one for comparison.

 

 

I'd Have to say I think the reverse toning on this example is better IMO. But Leeg's coin has a better overall eye appeal and looks like a real stunner! What's the grade on that???

Wow! Loving that Frankie and the 86 Morgan Shane!

I'm liking the rattler Bust! Nice

Krypto-man strikes again. Sweeeet

Picked up on feebay for like $7 including shipping. I enjoy the rim toning on these proofs but was wondering if these ANACS slabs contribute or cause this type of toning? I own others with similar toning in the same slabs. Plus seen similar toning all in old ANACS slabs....

Nice coin Revenant! I had my eye on that one, but I bought the more budget friendly 1943 NGC 66. I wouldn't be surprised if that 32 could be upgraded. These old holders are the best canidates for that.

 

OMG! I thought about going after that 1943 too! I just decided not to bid at the last minute though (afterall, I'd taken the 1932). You were right not to go for the 1932 though; I had bid high enough that anyone wanting to get it from me would have paid a very high price.

 

The potential for an upgrade had occured to me, but that call is ultimately going to belong to my step-father (I buy the coins and immediately resell them at cost to him). I've made him aware of the potential and the difference in value it could mean for the coin if we could get it in an MS66 holder. I'll make up my mind as to whether it's worth trying once I have the coin in hand and keep on him about it if I think it's a good candidate for upgrade.

Plus the scans of the sellers coins weren't good by any means in showing the color and luster. I think you will be surprised when you get it in hand!

Of course the upgrade is very subjective, I know the odds are in your favor over a new slab. But you will have to make that decision when it's in your hand. The older slabs in the early 90s and late 80s were graded much stricter because of the coin market at that time. There's a great article that explains this well, which is the Interview with Mr. Albanese under Numismatic Tangents.

Good Read. I understand there motive at CAC but there's still going to be C and D rated coins with CAC stickers. I believe mr. ALBANESE said he's removed 15 slabs with CAC stickers that he didn't understand how in the world they recieved the CAC sticker? I think it works good for non-modern, rarities.

Nice coin Revenant! I had my eye on that one, but I bought the more budget friendly 1943 NGC 66. I wouldn't be surprised if that 32 could be upgraded. These old holders are the best canidates for that.

A new kennedy. A little different toning, A rusty-orange look.

B-E-A-UTIFUL SHane!

Great looking jefferson's Paul! (thumbs u I don't think I've ever seen an old holder with a small star designation. Cool!

Holy Craap! Thats probably the nicest 100% toned walker I have ever seen. Congrats

Here's another 1957p from an original mint set.

SLQ 1926 NGC MS66

 

 

Now that's what I'm talking about. I really like this SL. Great toning and quality for a SL.

The toning reminds me of some toned war nickels I have.

Here's a 1915-d I've had for a while. I was to lazy to take the coin out of the holder, the scratches in

the photo are on the plastic protector. Very clean.

I know its hard to tell, but what do you think of the grade? A local dealer told me he thought ms 64.

I'm thinking maybe, but a solid 63. <3
