. I probably paid to much for this one

No that is a good price for this one.  As a matter of fact the Obverse on this looks really good.  Strong Liberty clear date.  you can see the ribs of the feathers,  plenty of hair detail and a strong braid and tie and  definition on the bow.  a little scuff on the cheeck but minor...  I like it

Funny you say that i just got an invoice last night for NCS services from November that i thought were already paid??

Awesome find!!  it is cool to have but only worth silver content in that condition.

album filler at best.

I think my car is starting to tone..  think i can get extra at the trade in lot?

If you are talking about the silver eagle, no.  There is absolutely no difference between the regular "S" proof eagle and the eagle that is issued with the limited edition set.  However, if you play the label game, as most eagle collectors are forced to do if you want a complete set, then yes.  There will be a diffrernce.  In the label only. 

YES SIR you hit the Nail on the head!!  i need to go into the garage and get my soap box now hold on a minute..................

Is there a difference between that one and the regular issued one?

They create the leaders of tomorrow..  and darned if we dont need them now!! Hooah!!

WOW  ACES HIGH!  i like it...well i am kind of partial to nickels anyway..

e it is PMD (Post Minting Damage)

I was going to say "damage" but this one went a little further.....

This isnt an error.  it is PMD (Post Mint Destruction)  looks like someone had fun in shop class with your dime.

I'm still thinking the conservation route.  that green stuff may be old PVC from a flip??  maybe.

Even if I lost all of my $600 investment, which is doubtful, this would not be a huge loss. I don't get it.

If you are buying coins and think that you are going to make a quick turn around and make money you will be sadly mistaken.  I would tell  you to take your $600 and put it in the savings account and you will make out better....For example I bought a very nice MS 64 1927 D peace dollar at a show for $1100 and went 6 or 7 tables down the row and they guy offered me $700 for it........ i told him i just bought it for 11 and he said he couldnt get anywhere near that price.......just an example... 

Did they give you the option to send it to NCS?  humm i don't think it matters she is a good looking coin. Have it slabbed and be be proud of it as a nice coinn.

tell us about those scratches in the front of liberty's head,,, looks to be cleaned or whizzed,,,,,,,  suspect.

would you just skip this proof in general?

i would skip most modern proofs 50 ish through now.. unless they were Ultra Cameos.  most through the 50 and 60 in brillant proof or only like $5 - $10 each...

do you think that most of the buffalo proofs from that year look roughly like this? Or do you feel that there should be better examples of this proof?

Not all will look this way you can find that some high grade buffalo's will tone to lovely hues of aqua, rose, and gold.  some will stay shinny it all depends on how they were stored and what environment they were in.  the Indian's once they go brown i have found will tone the same way. where if you find them in the RB category they may have a crackling toning on them which is not my preference. However it may be someone else's.  where as the Reds can really look firery..

g, Do you mostly go with "A proof is a proof is a proof"?

HUMMMM  well as you can see they are not all equal......

looks like wishing well junk   too bad you cant even get a gum ball with these anymore    put them in the need a penny take a penny jar!

That's a good looking high grade brilliant proof.  she a keeper.

I didnt see anything that piqued my interest other than the SAEs and the general proof and mint sets anything else looks like a money grab for the mint   disappointing 

spend it

i need this book.....  here i am holding out for a good 1915 - S  buffalo because i read somewhere that a joker named David Lange wrote something in one of the books that i read.  AND i am paraphrasing because i am not as eloquent of writer as he....."  hold out for a good sharp one because it looks like they may have used old proof dies......"  Does anyone have that link to Amazon???/
