To win a major award a participants set must be at least 50% complete and 75% of the set must be certified by NGC. Regardless of how awesome or impressive the set you are viewing is, as it is totally comprised of PCGS coins it will not be awarded a major NGC registry award. The only exception to this is for the DW Lange overall achievement award, that major award is given for a members overall registry sets and participation. So it is possible that a recipient of that award might have a few sets that do not meet the 50%/75% requirements. A registry set that is comprised of PCGS graded coins only can win the yearly best in category (BIC) award. However, it would have to be the top ranked set not the second place ranked set and it can only win the BIC overall award. Additionally, a BIC is given for the highest ranked set only counting the NGC graded coins. Therefore, two BIC's are awarded each year, best overall and best NGC only score which may or may not be the first place ranked set.

Awesome you were able to fill that pesky million dollar coin slot.

As JP said the mint didn't seal the envelops, so finding a sealed set is a sign that someone has already looked it over to see if the coins were worth submitting. Doesn't mean that the sets are not original, or that the coins are not nice, just that someone looked at it and decided to pass it along. If your goal is just to acquire a full run of proof or mint sets there is no reason you cannot buy a sealed set, but personally I prefer to see what I'm buying vs rolling the dice. However, many people prefer the gamblers approach, just depends on you and your preference.

And all I said is that looking is a waste of time which is a fact. I never said anywhere that only one has been found, stop with the childlike emotional reactions and actually read my reply, maybe you'll be less confused. It's your life you can do as you please doesn't mean squat to me, I'll just continue to use my time to make money and get chuckles watching all you dreamers work your way to the poor house weighing cents all day.

False hope is just that false. I prefer to spend my time in a way that has a chance of yielding some measure of success. If you prefer to waste your life looking for something that will not be found that is of course your choice.

Your question has been asked and answered already.

Read what I wrote again, the gun only reads a few mills of depth, it is not reading all the way through the coin, thus your conclusion that half the coin is copper is wrong. Half of the plating on the coin is copper, the base metal is steel, we know that because you said it sticks to a magnet.

Brothers from different mothers.

Looked at by who? How was this composition determined? If you are not aware most handheld type of metal scanners only read a few mils of depth, so a plated coins will read as if it is copper but is not. The details you shared when you started this thread tell us all that is needed. This thread is getting hard to follow with the vasquez clown mucking it up.

Yup just glue with the rev of another cent impressed onto the glue.

Being the world class grader that you are how could we doubt you.

Looking forward to your grading results.

5 cents.

Just parking lot road rash damage.

Small date zinc, very common coin just a spender. You can look till the day they put you in a box you still will not find one. Your time would be better spent and more lucrative if instead of spending that time searching for a 82-D sm date copper you got a job at the local circle K.

From your photo your coin appears (to me) to be a large 6 not a small 6, what does the NGC label say?

I see nothing in your photo that matches up to the photos and descriptions for 1974-D FS101 on Varity Vista. In fact there is no mention of a doubled earlobe or photos of such shown at VV. Can you provide any other site that references this feature? Or perhaps, just as a guess, the person who helped you on the site you failed to name is mistaken. When you ask a question on an open forum you should expect to get some answers that may not align with your ideas or goals. There are a few roll searchers that pop into this forum from time to time, but they are not the core of members here. So it is not all that surprising that many here see roll/bag searching as less than a top priority. While I'm glad that you had fun and I hope for you that you get some nice grades, the coin you posted doesn't look (imo) to be a worthy candidate for grading/slabbing from your supplied photos. Also in case you were not aware, NGC will not attribute your (assuming that you even really do have examples of this DDO) 1974-D FS101, it currently is not on the NGC list of varieties that they will attribute, which means that NGC feels it is too minor. It is likely that ANACS might, and perhaps PCGS if this is listed in the current cherry pickers guide.

Toner lovers are a crazy bunch of collectors, and many are not afraid to spend some major cash if they like the tone. I would not be surprised at all if this was a Morgan dollar, but from what little I follow of the world coin market that does seem like a remarkable price.

Welcome to the forum. There are only two ways for the reverse design elements to show on the obv, from a clash (see the overlay that eagle posted above) or from indirect die transfer. I do not see any indications of either of these in the photos that you have provided, it looks like a normal coin with some circulation damage and stains.

Hello team, we should add a one per date set to the Jefferson Nickel sets, we have one for the Buffalo nickel series so one should be added to the Jefferson sets too. 242334-038 3766146-001 2502135-006 183725-005 3912973-003

"what would a 1964 MS66 Kennedy half dollar go for with similar color" still way out of my collecting knowledge, but I'm going to say around $450.

Great holder!

Beautiful coin Joe.
