Buffalo Head Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Here's one that's on it's way back from NGC. I'm happy to say this one got a star. It really is an eye appealing coin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robec1347 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Absolutely gorgeous T-1, Joe. Are you leaving any out there for the rest of us?? I'd love to see all your buffs in one room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got REAL lucky with this one Bob. The seller couldn't take an image if his life was at stake, so I down loaded his image and made some ajustments, enough to see the coin, kinda, took a chance and bought it. Well here it is, not bad eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elbesaar Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Bought this coin raw almost 20 yrs ago - and sent it in for garding a few months ago. What do you think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coindude Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Very clean! Looks like a 66 at least. I don't think it's a FBL, but I could be mistaken. But I love the creamy texture of it and it's originality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Head Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) I'm not a Franklin guy, but I take a stab at the grade. The planchet is quite clean, especally the obverse, the toning is nice, eye appealing, the coin looks well struck, but I don't think it's full bell lines, but that could just be the lighting. All told I will guess MS-66 if the luster is full. Great looking coin, that part I'm sure of.... Edited December 13, 2010 by Buffalo Head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

physics-fan3.14 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Elbesaar, looks like an attractive, clean 66. The luster on the 53S is almost always booming, and your strike appears much better than most. It is absolutely definitely not FBL, however (if it is, I'll eat my hat).

Buffalo Head Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Here's one I picked up that has a nice strike, just a little weak around the date, and a nice over all look, at least I think so.....Not for everyone that's for sure.

Elbesaar Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) Bought this coin raw almost 20 yrs ago - and sent it in for grading a few months ago. What do you think ? I was hoping for a MS 66 - and yes, I never expected a FBL - its not even close IMHO. Here is the image I had taken at NGC : Edited December 14, 2010 by Elbesaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMan Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Bobby, nice looking coins! Joe, some sweet looking Buffernicks! ES, I would have guessed MS66 no fbl also (from NGC). I'm guessing that in hand the nicks on the reverse, particularly at the bottom of the bell, are a little more noticeable than they appear in the image. Nice looking coin. I got lucky tonight. For those of you that live on the SF Peninsula (or maybe in San Jose too) that like coins, I highly recommend the Peninsula Coin Club. It meets the 2nd monday of each month in Palo Alto. Normally there is a raffle at the end of the meeting, and for the December raffle they include some higher value items. Normally I'll kick in $5 to $10 per raffle, but tonight I bought $20 worth of tickets ($1 per ticket). Tonight I won a Mexican "1945" 2 Peso gold coin and a ~MS64-5 40% silver bicentennial Ike with some pleasant toning. I also won a ~MS65 40% silver 1972-S Ike for best "show and tell" item brought in (my short snorter set of signed bills for Gemini flights 3 - 12 and a Mercury 7 plus Bill Dana signed bill. Link ). It's always fun to win some silver and gold... BTW, does anyone know what to multiply the face value of 40% silver to get the approximate melt value? Thank you!

bsshog40 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Thanks X2 & Jaime. I bought them from a local guy who had them on ebay. He got a few coins and paintings for a debt owed, if I'm right. I got them for about $20 each under numismedia prices. You're right Jaime, won't be long my set will be complete. Only 4 more to go to complete 1950 to date proof Jeffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbesaar Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I bought this coin over 20 years ago - and finally broke down and had it certified. I really don't collect Jeff's - but have always appreciated the Keys to any series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lehigh96 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Two more Jeffersons for the registry. I quoted my newps from a month ago for a reason. Look at the certification numbers. That must have been a hell of an album collection. I hope the seller has more and he is leaking them slowly. And the parade from the album collection continues. A few more additions to the registry set: and finally one of the best struck war nickels I have ever seen. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
