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

What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 ?

Don’t get me wrong, I am in no way trying to tell you to buy or not buy the coin. If you like the coin and think it is a good value, then go for it. I myself have paid a premium for a toned coin. My point was that a clean untoned ASE is generally worth more than a toned one. But, there are plenty of people who like toned coins over clean ones. Im sure plenty of people could go back and forth on this subject.

Thanx for neutral input

Generally its 70 or bust with ASEs. The price drop for a 69 is substantial for just about any year. What is the grade?

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 ?

You either download the NGC app or follow the link and do it manually. Manually you'll need the grade also which in this case is MS 67. Just change the last 3 digits as you verify each number.

How did you know in this case MS 67 ?

Thanx so much

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

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

The roll is already certified by NGC so if it were mine, I would leave it like it is. The coins in that roll are most likely no different from a regular mint tube. Its just been certified.

NGC is usually on point, PCGS on the other hand is taking your coins home and grading them. It explains why my 1889 Morgan got swapped out with a lesser coin. Sending in something worth 20K or more and the Swap happens. Cost of living in California is Extreme. Desperate times call for Desperate Measures.

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 ?
