Part 1 of 2 of my goal

 

Like most of us collectors we start a collection only to find completing them to be the hardest achievement. I am down to one coin and have been searching and watching the internet to no avail. I have attended coins shows but since my search is for a modern coin the coin shows don't offer much in that area.

 

Anyone having the knowledge or whereabouts of the coin listed below I would greatly appreciate your letting me know.

 

2006 NGC Proof 70 First Strikes $100 Platinum Eagle

I'm in a similar spot with Walikng Liberty varieties. I have most of the ones recognized by NGC for inclusion in the Registry set, but I have not found the last two in over three years of searching. I must have looked at several thousand ebay, Heritage, Stack's and other on-line listings for 1939-D and 1944-S halves, searching for 1939-D/D and 1944-S/S repunched mintmarks. Most of the photos are not good enough to even guess if there is a RPM. But it gets worse.

 

A couple of weeks ago, a 1939-D came up on ebay. The photos were large, clear and had great detail, and the reverse was clearly the FS-501 D/D variety. Without hesitation I hit the BIN button. A week later, the coin arrives and I eagerly open the package to find......the reverse photo is not the same coin. No D/D. Just a nice, clean ordinary 1939-D. I returned it, telling the dealer that the reverse photo was not the same coin as the obverse, but I see it has been re-listed with the same (incorrect) photos of the reverse side.

I found your coin! Call me at 561-3510005... :^)

Just to be clear, its a 2006 PR70 Red Label First Strike.

 

Confirming PCGS or NGC, this one is

 

You know, NGC changed from First Strike, to Early Release at the request of PCGS?

 

The coins are the same, but if you require NGC, its gonna be more $'s..
