cpm9ball Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 That will do! Fortunately, I have everything ready to go for my short trek to Orlando on the 9th, so I can make time to go through them. How rare is the Blunt 9? Are there any population estimates? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOILER78 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I saw this coin in a thread last month and even though it wasn't for sale at the time I managed to add it to my collection. I had decided not to buy it but during the course of the day that it sat on my desk I must have picked it up 20x to examine it. I just couldn't resist. This is one of those rare instances where a coin speaks to you, it doesn't matter what lighting you use the coin is beautiful and takes on different personalities as you rotate it under any kind of light. I do find it ironic that the coin album that graced this coin with it's magnificent color also imparted the grade limiting "slide" marks on the cheek. I have owned two proof 68 Morgans and IMO without the disturbance on the cheek this coin could grade that high!

How rare is the Blunt 9? Are there any population estimates? Chris According to Breen the Pointed 9 is seen on Proof and business strike coins for the year and it estimated that fewer than two million coins with the Pointed 9 were produced. The variety is a linchpin to a complete collection of the Roosevelt Dime series, much as the Blunt 9, though considerably scarcer. The blunt 9 in just PF67 goes for about $60.

cpm9ball Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 So far, 4 out of 5 are the Blunt 9. Shall I keep going? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coindude Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Chris... if you find the pointed 9, there should also be an Accented Hair Half to go along with it. Take a look and see if I'm right. But, I remember reading a while back that somehow the pointed 9 and the AH always accompany one another... or maybe there are some rogue pointed 9's, but every AH is paired with a pointed 9.... Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schatzy Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Chris I think you miss read my post. I have a blunt 9 in NGC PF68UC and a point 9 in NGC PF69UC. I said I am still looking for a blunt 9 in NGC PF69UC. I just have interest in the ultra cameo coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coindude Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Jaime, next time I got to a coin show, let me know what coins you are looking for. I'd most likely have to pick them up in complete PS's, but some should not be that expensive. Let me know, I find ucam / dcam dimes on a regular basis, but I usually pass on them unless they are SMS coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elbesaar Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 A new addition to the Mercury / Winged Liberty Dime collection... I know - I know - never buy a raw coin on eBay - but - seriously, you can't always judge by images alone. However - its been scrubed - and back she goes. Live and learn. Oh - I have been known to collect many other series - other than Barbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
