WinstonWare Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Did all of those 1962s come from the same proof set? That's a really cool collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robec1347 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Those must have been housed in an album to have such equal toning. Very nice matched set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMan Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 TR, very nice set. Didn't you show that as a set (in a plastic holder) at one point? 123 Nice Bustie! Sweet Lincoln Lee! Fun Barber dooly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasrichard Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hey your cent is a lot better looking than the one I had. I bought the '62 proof set in a capital acrylic holder off ebay. It was one of a group of 3 that had such bad auction pictures I didn't even know they were toned, and only paid 21 bucks total for all three Ps. The other two sets were not toned.

EZ_E Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Those must have been housed in an album to have such equal toning. Very nice matched set. Latest purchase from Lee Gast. Heres the Auction Description: 1806 50C Pointed 6, No Stem VF30 PCGS. O-109, R.1. The well known engraving blunder without a stem through the eagle's right (facing) claw. Aqua-blue and earth tones blanket this nicely detailed Draped Bust type coin. The reverse rim has a planchet flaw, as made, at 10:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robec1347 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Nice Bust half, Victor. Are the shape of the stars on this half characteristic of all Bust halves? It almost looks like a die break from the point of the star to the dentils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost looks like a die break from the point of the star to the dentils. Bob, during that era, these coins were pressed without a collar, and what you see is the metal flow outward towards the periphery which becomes more evident as the die wears, so the star points which point to the edge, become drawn out.

rbrown4 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 21 Bucks for all three is great, you ended up with some nicely toned coins there, the cent is just another coin in the set. The others make up for it by far I am sure . Rey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great question, Bob!!! Great answerer, Mike!!! Mike, I hope you don't mind but I quoted you under the item's description in my registry set. 1806 50C Pointed 6, No Stem VF30 PCGS. O-109, R.1. The well known engraving blunder without a stem through the eagle's right (facing) claw. This is very cool, especially since I was just reading about it. I just can't remember where.

EZ_E Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Victor, that is a very attractive coin! Thanks, Skyman. Lee has hooked me up with at least a half a dozen coins that are solid, eye-appealing coins. As a matter of fact, a majority of my type collection has been purchased by NGC forum members. The boards are a great networking tool that provides opportunities not easily found elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillJones Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Here is a piece I purchased at the last Baltimore show. It is an 1870 half dime in NGC PR-66. Its part of my original, never dipped Proof type upgrade program. I have not found the way to show the luster on these coins in photos. That's why the obverse shot is not very good. Nevertheless, this coin has full Proof luster under the toning, which is gray, gold and blue on the obverse and mostly blue on the reverse. The piece also has a lot of raised die polishing marks, but they don't detract from it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robec1347 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Very nice half dime, Bill. It seems quite a few Seated Liberty Proofs of different denominations have these die polishing marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
