Persistance Pays Off posted by walnutto

One big WOW too!

 

Here is my latest submission results. I been chasing the 2011 P Sacagawea and the P Garfield for some time. I got both MS68's this time. I wasn't going to pay $300 or more for either of these modern dollars.

 

I have now looked at about 40 - 2013 US Mint sets and I have to say that the quality has really took a nose dive. It will really take some effort to get all the 2013 Presidents in MS68 year. I may need to even purchase a few but no way would any be worth $500 or more ... that would be insane!....

 

Anyways... my Big WOW is from only two Mint sets I kept from the first batch, I sent in two 2013 D Nickels. I really expected both to be MS67 6FS but...a MS68 6FS Nickel ... WOW! I looked back on the census and there as only been 8 D MS68 6FS nickels over the last 10 years. Sad thing though, I don't collect the Mint State nickels only the Proofs.
