rrantique Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Nice Ike Rev. Rey i think that Morgan might make a 64. only thing i see is a weak strike on the breast feathers. Has it got luster? (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown4 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Thanks guys, the MOrgan is lacking in lustre sorry to say, but is good and clean mostly. I also picked up a few IHCs. This 1906 IHC is an overdate which is most clear on the 1, but unfortunately my camera skills are not that good too really get a shot of it. Will try somemore, but it is there to the south of the base of the one. Rey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsshog40 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Too bad the auction didn't go as well as you hoped Rey. I like the IHC and that Morgan. BTW, didn't know the Morgan was a weak strike. Those are still hard for me to grasp. Nice looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrown4 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Thanks for the extra effort on the image, but it is a bit too much. The overdate is mostly visible only at the base of the one. (dangerous photography there ibyandsellsmith) Here are the other two IHCs I picked up. They were raw of course and nobody was interested. It is nice when you bid against yourself.

rrantique Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) You got some nice IHC's Rey. You didn't up the bid did you? Edited July 22, 2007 by rrantique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown4 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I may be a born Texan, and I may currently be in West Texas, but I outsmarted them all and only raised it by $5.00 against myself. I wanted to hear the guy yell yupppp one more time. He was a big cowboy and it sounded neat. Plus I was worried about those folks that were bidding so much wasted money on MS 66 Morgans graded by XYZ companies. Heck, I could tell they were pro's and didn't want them to get my IHCs. I also saved those folks a lot of money by picking up a 1961 mint set for $7.00, I could tell they were having trouble with their calculators trying to figure out how much to bid.

Fletcher Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Just waiting for this one to show up from the seller ... It is in an old NGC AU58 holder, but it looks more like AU50 to me from the pictures. I may have to send it in for a downgrade as I paid full pop for it hoping that the grade is correct and that the pics simply suck ... what are your thoughts???

robec1347 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Looks more like a scan which would explain why the images are so flat and dull. Other than that, what's not to like? Looks like a keeper to me. In fact, I'd be proud to be the owner of that one. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, from the picture it looks like there is quite a bit of rub for a 58. I hope that you are right and that the scan is why it looks so flat.

Bruceswar Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 To be honest I am starting a new quarter set. 1965 - 1998 Proofs. 69 Dacm is the target grade since most are affordable. The earlier ones where that is a monster will be adjusted to fit in. I find the cameos to be pleasing. (Yep I collect some moderns as well) Here is the first coin in the set.

TomB Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 At least if you are doing a proof clad Washington quarter set you do not have to purchase the 1965-1967 issues since no proof pieces were made in those years. By the way, I agree that these look cool in DCAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
