  1. my name is nater222, and I also have a Prooflike addiction!

     

    Think I have my idea for my first registry set! Morgan CC PL and DMPL!!

    Sounds expensive so it will probably be a lifetime thing but oh well.

    Did PCGS short this one on the dmpl grade, or is this just really good photography??

     

    Wow! A '78 CC with 64 DPL! Sweet. I think the photo is trying to show off the mirrors. Can you post larger pictures? I'd love to own a '78 in DPL. Nice pick up.

     

    Here are some larger pictures, don't have this one in hand yet. When I do, I will take some pictures that are in natural light with no doctoring. Still, paid under book for what pcgs was comfortable calling a 64 pl so I am happy. Looks to be strong pl at least. Reverse equally reflective, at least in the pictures. I know that for dmpl or dpl the entire surface has to be equally reflective and there are areas of weakness at the top of the obverse and a couple areas on the reverse.

     

     

    Judging by the pictures accompanying its previous sale, I think you will find that this coin is accurately graded as PL.

     

    There was a thread ATS discussing this seller and his juiced coins.

  2. This coin is graded MS67FT by NGC and according to the population data for NGC and PCGS, it is the Top Pop for the FS-801 variety.

    Very cool. Yeah, it's hard to see the sides of the split in the lower band from the photo. But very nice coin. I don't think there are any 1970-D dimes graded higher than MS 67 FT even without the variety. I have a few 1970-D FS-801s, but none higher than MS 66. This one is in an ANACS holder at MS 66, but a good example of an early die state FS-801.

    This one is close to FT. But no cigar.

     

    Thanks! I was very glad to see this coin come back with the 67FT grade. Although I haven't had much luck selling it. Anyhow, NGC has 2 1970-D Dimes graded MS68FT and only 7 graded MS67FT. My 67FT FS-801 makes the 8th coin in the 67FT grade.

  3. Yes the 1968 s proof dime has both reverse as well

    I contacted Dr. Wiles who said they are a 50/50 occurrence.

    I believe the numbers are not 50/50 but I do not know what the percent is

    I will work on the pics shortly

    the DDR is NOT a rdv-002

    BJ was looking for a RDV-002 on the bay when he came across a DDR.

    he bought it and had that as his RDV-001 coin....that coin is not mine

    (I do have a 70 D DDR... I will check and see If I have pics of it)

    I then told him I had put together a set of the three RDV-002 circulation strike coins

    He asked if he could take pics for his website

     

    Here is an image of the Reverse of my 1970-D FS-801 DDR with the RDV-001.

    Nice looking reverse on this one. Looks almost FT. Full line details aren't very easy to find on Roosevelts from the '70s. I think the 1974-P is one of the hardest dimes to find with FT throughout the entire series.

  5. I just received a new purchase and took some pictures to post. They show the detail well, but not the coins luster (they make it look dull). I still need to figure out this photography thing!

     

    Here's the coin- an 1894 S Barber Half Dollar in a PCGS holder:

    Does anyone care to guess the grade? :banana:

     

    About a month ago I cracked this half out of it's PCGS XF 45 holder, removed the green spot on the reverse, and submitted it raw to PCGS. It came back as a AU 55 (no new pictures of the holder). I doubt it would have made that jump if I submitted it for a "reconsideration" grade.

     

    Wow! That's an excellent upgrade! Congratulations!
