LDH Coins & Memorabilia

Well, I appreciate the answers I guess I am within 2 coins of complete set of ASE 70's but has non 70's in the collection LOL. Live and Learn. Thanx again.

Thanx for information. I recently purchased a 1997-P Are PR 70. How does this coin have what appears as a small brown spot near lower center. Please see pictures.

Thanx again for the great advice / information I am missing 93 and 94 from a complete 70 set but I have purchased some proofs because some early years are very expensive as MS70 but the PR70 are less expensive. I realize this "hybrid" set of MS70, PR70, and different mint locations wouldn't qualify for registry. I just want to complete for personal desire. I have an all MS69 completed All thoughts, advice or information is greatly appreciated.

WOW thanx for all the great, helpful feedback (especially about registry) ! I guess my only question is if the odds are good why are people selling proofs cheap when they could pay 40 bucks for grading and double or triple value. Thanx again for the help to a newbie. I also guess the strikes have gotten better with technology and if I'm looking at 93 and 94 , the sharpness may have been less precise ? I will see because I did buy a 1990 and its being graded now LOL. Based off that I may gamble and purchase 93 and 94 and send in for grading. Ebay sellers gouge prices a lot of times. I am willing to pay little over book for graded coin but sometimes listings are ridiculous.

I know I can't complete an ASE MS 70 set unless I include some proofs. If I get proofs with COA and have them graded what is possibly of 69 or 70 ? Sorry for the dumb question

Thanx for all the help. One last “newbie” question: Why are proofs from late 90’s / early 2000’s so much cheaper than other MS similar grades ASE’s ?

I am new to collecting and would appreciate some questions which may be dumb LOL. I am fascinated with ASE's and I have a MS 69 set and would like to work on a MS 70 set but I saw a NGC certified BU coin without a grade ? Does grading companies certify individual coins without grade ? I know they certify uncirculated rolls but I was unaware of individual coins. Also I notice that graded proof coins are sometimes less book value than same graded coins from same year , but does proof coins grade at 65 or better as any other UNC ? Thanx for anyones help Darryl

What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 ?

Thanx for neutral input

Its a MS 70 by Anacs

Thanx but it is graded - how close to grading price is it with toning ?

How does "rainbow" toning affect value of coin ? Price is very, very reasonable therefore I was wondering if it is because of the toning ?

How did you know in this case MS 67 ?

Thanx so much

How can I verify the certification number on label and what does (261-280) mean ? Sequence # ?

Thanx so much , I will take your advice. The seller actually said that NGC removes 70's before certifying ? Therefore there are only 69's and 68's at best ? Thanx again

What about ANACS ?

Sealed by NGC ( pictures appear container is sealed and individual coins are sealed then put in sealed container; but being sold by an individual on eBay

Is it wise to break sealed roll to have coins individually graded or does the sealed roll retain more value ?
