Just picked this up off of e-bay for my registery type set. I will try to get good pictures of it when it comes in.

1944D 10c MS66FB

No problem! (thumbs u

Yes I forgot to mention as well, Awesome coin Prudden

You are mistaking lack of detail in the pics for wear. When grading Unc morgans you need to be looking for scratches and rubs in the luster.

Check out my Morgan here, Sorry that my picture is not quite as good as his.

You can see the rubs in the luster on the cheek and some tics in the field to the left of lady Liberty and a light scratch under her chin. These are marks from being in contact with other coins. These marks probably take mine down to a MS64 or MS63.

Also notice the flatness above liberties ear on my coin. This is from a weak strike and is not a product of wear.

His displays none of these marks or very few of them. That is what makes it a MS66.

I picked up a couple of nice crusty coins today.

This one is an upgrade for my 7070.

1829 Half dime

And a nice circulated Monroe Doctrine Commem half with some great toning, wish I could get the color to show in the pic.

That is a clash not a die crack. You can also see the C from cent behind Lincoln's neck.

Very cool coin!

We would love to see those notes! Please post them up.

Wow! Very nice pickup!

jpolz......so what is the grade.....we know it is in a NGC holder!!

Its in an NCS holder.

Its a dang beautiful coin. (thumbs u

Picked this up over the weekend.

Awsome 50c flowing hair

Nice 2 cent, what does it grade? I have a PCGS MS64RB 1864LL and yours is a touch nicer than mine.

Very nice Lafeyette!

Wow! Alot of nice coins since the last time I posted in this thread.

Over the weekend I spent a good few hours at a local coin stop looking for coins to fill my various date sets. I found quite a bit and started a couple of new date sets. (Large cents and Barber quarters. )

I will not bother you guys with the couple dozen coins I bought for my sets but here are a few coins that I bought because I liked them.

Here is a '62 proof nickel... It has some light cameo but otherwise it looks pretty plain in these pictures.

However it has some beautiful toning.

This Mercury dime has a lot more luster and color than the pics would suggest.

This will be an experiment in acetone conservation. If it comes out ok it will go into my Dansco 7070. It has a very good strike with almost full stars even with VF25ish details.

This Dime will be a space filler in my 7070 until I can find a non problematic one in my price range.

(thumbs u Very nice proof.

I like that Lincoln commem.

Wow you guys have been picking up some great stuff. (thumbs u

Here are a couple I picked up over the weekend...

In honor of Lincolns birthday.

Some lovely purple toning on this one.

It would pull a PF67 I think but no cameo.

It looks much better in hand. Its hard to get good pictures of something in a plastic baggy!

take some more shots of the 55' pr set please

Sorry it took me so long I am trying to decide if I want to have these multi-holdered or if I want to leave them in the mint packaging.

take some more shots of the 55' pr set please

I can do that when I get off of work.

I bought some coins from James (EarlyUS) to upgrade and fill some spots in my 7070.

1802 Cent

1809/6 Half cent

193? Quarter

I also went to my coin shop today intending on filling some other spots in my 7070 but ended up buying some coins for my registry type set plus some other goodies.

1886 Dime AU55

1938D Buffalo nickle MS65

1955 Proof set

This CWT has about a 90 degree die rotation.

I stopped by the coin shop yesterday to buy some pieces for my 7070 album.

1819 Cent

1857 Flying eagle

1853 dime

1885 dime

1905 dime

1829 CBH It seems to be overdated over 1928? Is there an Overtons # for such a thing?

1814 over 13 CBH.... Seems like someone didn't like this coin.

I like this CWT

I just looked at the NGC census and It shows the following

1 PF

4 PFCAM

615 PFUCAM

So I guess you are right, I just happened to notice that the obverse on this one had about twice as much contrast as any of the other proofs that I have from that era.
