VKurtB Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Are these the only years? I will be in Paris on September 18-21. I have four shops on my list already. If I find a gaudy grade candidate that is raw, I’ll send it in to whichever service you desire, and if it makes your standard, it’s yours. Otherwise, I’ll keep it. You’ve been very good to me.

Henri Charriere Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 I am gratified to report I have accepted the generous offer of personal assistance from @VKurtB who is evidently acutely aware of the astronomical odds of locating a raw top pop coin. After acquiring such a coin that was deemed to be an FDC, aaFrench range that embraces the U.S. equivalent of the range of grades from MS-65 to MS-70, inclusive -- at considerable cost -- it was submitted and accorded an MS-64+ grade on the West Coast. Today, I received another tip apparently from a private party who offered to forward my search request to two sources unknown to me for consideration. Naturally, I accepted.
