Walkerfan

It has been a very good run for me, as I have won Best in Category overall for the last 5 Years, in the One per Date category.  I have been overtaken by two new Registry participants and am now number three.  I urge you to check them out, especially, the #1 position.  I have the link posted below.  His coins are simply amazing and in very, very high grade and high quality.  He is 100% complete and he has a 1934 S in NGC Mint State 67 * !!!  He has over 125,000 registry points in this One per Date category and there is, absolutely, no way that I would want to compete with that.  He is also #1, now, in the 65-coin Walker Full Set category.  My hat is off to you, Sir....I want to take this opportunity to say 'Congratulations'!  The torch has been passed. 

P.S.- My 1919 D is still better than yours! LOLOL

Did PCGS use the Generation numbers from Conder101's book?

No.  There are differences.

I have it bookmarked, myself. 

I have the PCGS one bookmarked too, but all the pictures are gone from that one. 

Check this out:

I think you're out of luck. 

Slab it yourself or enjoy as is.  

Sad but not surprising. 

I am hoping to go to a show in late October. 

I will be severely disappointed, if it is cancelled, as well.  

If you mean the journals here on this site; I don't think that you can change it.

Obviously, I like the Walker and the Standing Liberty is a close second.  I collect BOTH.  If forced to choose a third from the options given; I'd pick the Buffalo Nickel.  I like Morgans better than Buffs, however, but they came a bit earlier, of course.  

Hi James!!!   Glad you're back!!  

I have noticed some STRONG prices but only in select areas.

A bit off topic, but which flying eagle do you like the best and least:

St. Guadens

Christen Gobrecht

or Longacre? 

You left out Herman McNeil, which is probably my very favorite.

Then Saint Gaudens, Gobrecht and Longacre, in that order.

All are stunning in their own way.

Weinman was a student of St. Gaudens, so he was heavily influenced by him, anyway.

Their work bears a lot of similarities.  

I like them BOTH.  

Maybe someone will find a rare variety or make a top pop!  It has certainly happened before.

Some very well-known and long time posters got axed over there, this week, and it got very ugly.  They don't tolerate political agendas well, over there, as it is not coin related, and it became very abusive and discriminatory towards certain groups.  Honestly, I don't blame them, as it doesn't reflect well on PCGS, especially, in these turbulent times.  Although, I will miss the members who had a momentary lapse of reason....It is very unfortunate.  I post a lot over there but  the NGC forums was and is my first home.

That's a beauty, good luck with the type set. 

Thank You!!  It is actually a one per date set of Standing Liberty Quarters.  

Awesome, Bobby!!  

Maybe you should start submitting more often!!!  

Good Luck and have fun!!!  

Thanks, guys!!

It's in an old NGC #9....Used starting around 2001 and discontinued after just 2 years.  

What do you think?

I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. 

I'd rather have an 1894-S, which is an acclaimed, unquestionable rarity, not debatable or dubious.    

Also, I like keydate rarities not otherwise common coins that are only rare due to a designation.  

Even if it turns out to be an actual proof with a pop of one; I'd still prefer the keydate.  

Keydates have history attached, whereas proofs like that are only known to specialists.  

It's a reflection/lighting issue.  It has nothing to do with toning.  Both images are poor to mediocre at best.

This is why I still like to watch Rick Tomaska.  He always has something interesting on his show!  Here is our own NGC President Mark Salzberg opening up and authenticating an original mint-sealed bag of Kennedys issued on the first day (03/19/1964).  NGC soft-graded them Brilliant Uncirculated and Choice Brilliant Uncirculated.  Rick was offering the choice examples, which are basically in the MS 63 range, for about $500 a piece.  They had the special Kennedy label, too, with the first day of issue designation.  It was a very interesting piece of Kennedy and U.S. coinage history.  

I'm always looking for a good read.  

This one did NOT disappoint.

This era is interesting to me, especially how it relates to classic coinage, like Walkers and Standing Liberties---my two favorites.  

Thank You for posting.  

Edit to add: The 1929-D & S Walkers also had a lower mintage but MANY were stored in Government vaults due to lack of need, because of the Great Depression.  By the time they were needed and the Great depression had susided; the 1933-S had ALREADY made it's introduction into commerce, so the 1929 coins remained there, though some were released.  This is WHY they (1929 S & D Walkers) are so readily available in mint state, today.  

GC seems to be handling them. 

The collection is indeed vast with a lot of nice toning.  

I bid on about 3 of them and considered many more.

Won this one:

Congratulations!!!!!  Well done!!!!  

I haven't noticed a change. 

Coin Shows are just a small part of the normal, entire volume of conversation.
