I just bought my first monster coin!

[Peace_Fan]

I've been looking for years for this coin, and finally found just what I want and have the finances to support it: 1934 S MS65 NGC Peace dollar (what else?). It is bright white, lustrous, a great strike, and the undisputed key to the series (athough there are several more expensive issues in MS65). I can't WAIT to see this thing in person! Almost every 34 S I've seen has mottled toning and looks like it's been drug through the mud, but this one's a blazer. And to top it off, my wife is totally turned off on the stock market and supports investing in coins. How's that song go...."Oh, happy day...."!!!!!!!

Barry; Be sure you post it when you get it.

The best I could do in the 1934S dep't is AU50.I'll eventually get there.

Did you get it at an auction, dealer, ebay, stole it, found it? Twowood

Found it at a dealer who bought it at the Long Beach show...I knew I should have gone! I'll be sure to post a pic.

 

ps If you're interested, my AU58 coin is going up for sale. It looks like a 62-63, but NGC says otherwise....

Barry, you said you bought the coin and "I can't WAIT to see this thing in person"

 

I'm happy for you, but sincerely hope you have a return privilege for a purchase like that.

[Peace_Fan]

Mark, thanks for the concern. Yes, I have return privileges, but based on the hi-res photos and the dealer's reputation I don't anticipate needing to.

 

Regards,

Look forward to the pics.

I know exactly what you are feeling!!!!!

 

About a month ago...with the finances....I finally purchased a 32-D wash. qtr. I looked at several,NGC and PCGS coins, good scans, bad scans, and excellent scans. I also had a 14 day return privilege.

 

To make a long story short...

 

I got a, IMO a under graded PCGS MS-63

 

Congratulations on a wonderful coin.

The Post Office tried to deliver it Saturday, but we were out so I picked it up this morning. This coin is WAY MORE than I expected, with just one slight tick underneath the chin (I could see it in the magnified photo the dealer sent so it wasn't a surprise). The fields, cheek, hair, and the entire reverse are perfect without magnification. The luster is terrific and the strike is very bold for a '34 S, and I've looked at lots of them. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like sending the dealer some extra money (somebody slap me!).

 

I'll post pics tonight....
