Coindude Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 My newest addition. I didn't buy these to flip, I purchased two for my sons. I think they're pretty awesome and... I hear a lot of people who get their coins at the end of the run speculating that they get the coins that were returned... if these aren't 70's then I don't know what is. No matter to me, they will stay in the OGP forever as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robec1347 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Pretty cool coins Sam. I just recieved my two within the past month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coindude Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I have to agree. That photo was stitched together from five photos. I tried the obverse but five photos wasn't good enough and I've already sat down and begun to watch sports so it will have to wait for another day.

Curry Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Just got it in the mail. Potato quality pics, but a virtually perfect slab and hologram on back (which is all that matters..) Not easy to find.. How old is that? I mean the slab btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yonico Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 WOW Lord M. that's a beauty! but how much more contrast does a coin need to have in order to get a CAMEO designation? come on PCGS! great coin! congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordmarcovan Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Thanks. In hand, the 3cN looks as though it might be one of those "just missed Cameo" coins. It is a really nice brilliant proof with a little bit of contrast, but perhaps not quite enough. I actually don't find fault with the way PCGS straight-graded it. I do give the seller kudos for capturing it so well in that first set of photos. The slab images are from my scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do give the seller kudos for capturing it so well in that first set of photos. The slab images are from my scanner. Scanner as in printer scanner? If thats the case that may be my new way to capture images It's an HP flatbed scanner, yes. A bit higher-end than a lot of them, though. Not all scanners are created equal. And a scanner seldom can compete with a camera for quality coin images. I still use one because I am something of a Luddite who has not yet graduated to a proper SLR camera. This scanner does great with circ silver and other patinated coins, but not so well on lustrous coins or colorful toners. With proof mirrors, it's hit-or-miss. In this case it did fine with the slab pix. Lucky scans. These days I mostly buy from people who provide excellent images and just recycle their pictures to make up for my shortcomings in the photo skill department, but my scanner is adequate for capturing the basic slab pictures.

Eric Hazen Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Very pleased with winning this one tonight. I'm building a date set of toners and this fits the bill nicely. I don't typically buy MS63 but it looks like it could be interesting, if not it can always go back unless someone around here wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going for one-per-date or a complete set of all dates and mints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Hazen Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Just one per date, if I find a better one I'll rotate them into the collection and the other out in most cases. Some dates are very hard to find with nicely toned so it'll take awhile to complete the set. Edited July 21, 2014 by Eric Hazen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTdotP-migration Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Thought that I would post my most recent free aquisition. This was given to me as change, thought it was pretty cool. First proof I ever received from change. Scratched, probably not worth anything but nice none the less. -Tom ♠ Edited July 21, 2014 by TheTdotP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was a 1983-S quarter, but not quite as nice as yours. The cameo contrast survived pretty well on yours. Neat find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpcienkus Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Picked another up at Scotsman's recent auction. '81 O MS64 DPL. Re-posting this coin, because I did some re-arranging at photobucket and my earlier post was compromised. I reattached the image in my earlier post, but thought I would add it here as well.
