MAULEMALL Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Great coin...one of my top 5 on the wish list.....I am wondering if you agree with the grade,What I am getting at is,What is keeping it down to 65? When I see a coin that I personally ..Well I guess lust after... I tend to study It abnormally long and to be honest I am having a hard time finding fault with that coin.Why isn't it in a 66 holder?

themightyboosh-migration Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hi all I just joined and this sounded like an interesting thread for my first post. My most recent acquisitions are, a roll of 1965 canadian half dollars, very nice, proof like, some with some toning. Also I bought a couple of the John Pinches 1974 United nations Flags silver ingots, again very noce, very crisp, spotless. And, I bought a 'grab bag' of US coins on ebay. Not sure what to make of it really. There was a nice Commeroative Silver Proof Washington half dollar and a couple of silver kennedy quaters, some early 1900 dimes, and some 1950's 1 cents.

leeg Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Lee, that is a spectacular coin, do you want to sell it? Thanks guy's! I'm holding on to this one for a while. Very nice example. I think a little weakly struck and has a small hit on the eagles leg that keeps it out of a 66 holder. Great color and lustre though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 The hit on the eagle is not keeping it out of an MS66 holder, but the luster is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the neighborhood, tmb! Anything interesting happening, numismatic-wise, in the UK? By chance, do you know anyone who has any French, Belgian, or Swiss medals for sale? I don't mean the kind with dead monarchs on them.....more of the allegorical figures like the French Marianne. There are alot of friendly, knowledgeable people, here, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill moody-migration Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 When searching my 2005-P uncir. mint sets for the minnesota quarter error , one of the sets had 2 minnesota quarters in them. The 2nd minnesota quarter was in the slot for the california quarter,so the calif. quarter is missing from the sealed 5 quarter set. I'm a newbie and was wondering how this happened and is it rare for this type of packing error? I purchased approx. 10 of these sets and this was the only one like this. Do these type of sets sell for a premium??? Thanks for any help offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wihlborg Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 The hit on the eagle is not keeping it out of an MS66 holder, but the luster is. I agree. In my opinion, the coin is more then clean enough hit wise to merit a grade of 66, but the luster needs more pop. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mint Sets don't usually have the close inspection that is common with the Proof Sets, so packaging mistakes like this do happen from time to time.

Tom Elias Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 That 1885 morgan has a reverse motto just below the cud line (book has only IN as 2 letters of rev motto---your's looks to have TRUST ,with TR in front of neck, then UST on neck. That should be a major error/variety and worth big bucks in mint state anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Elias Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 1872 5c proof minor doubled die obverse. I finally decided to bring an example of this variety into my collection. It's an easy variety to find; in fact, a high percentage of 1872 proofs were struck with this doubled die (S2-1015, F-06, 3-O-III). You will sometimes see 1872 proof DDOs erroneously listed as FS-007. This example appeals to me because it's original, very clean, and a pleasing (to me, at least) golden tone with subtle shades of green. So, after passing over many opportunities, I finally pulled the trigger on this one. The fields are not deeply mirrored -- which is typical for Shield proofs -- but there is a bit of cameo contrast.
