Walkerfan Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 A feast for the senses!! Beautiful red Lincoln in a cool old slab with green bean. Mike, that is a nice, better date Buffalo. That early seated dime looks better than MS 61 with great luster and nice tone, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dconley Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I just found a 1986D Lincoln cent with doubling on the date, especially on the 9, 8, and 6. I saw a reference to another one discovered in 2007, but I can find no listing of a doubled-die variety. Is this just a case of machine doubling?

Seated_King-migration Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/coinfacts.aspx?i=1891836&sid=118689 This coin is currently in the process of being placed in a secure holder. The population of an 1891 S Quarter in this grade and higher is 36 between PCGS and NGC as far as I know. If you clicked on the link at the top of my post, the rest of my collection is viewable as well. I almost completed a PCGS MS 64 - 67 Red Lincoln cent set but decided to focus on something more reasonable. So I started the last year seated set for dimes and quarters (an 1891 business struck set) and I'm 3 coins short from being complete.

Elbesaar Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I have looked for a nice MS example of the 91-S Quarter for some time. I just sold off my MS 61 - it did nothing for me. I think you found yourself a real "Keeper" !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_dac Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) I posted an Indian Eagle I purchased a few weeks. After sitting on it over the weekend I decided I did not want to keep it and returned it. There were a few more marks and copper spots visible in hand not visible from the pictures online that bothered me. I just picked up this raw example from a show (my first raw gold purchase) with a written guarantee from the dealer that it is not cleaned, not ex-jewelery, and will grade a minimum of AU58. The pictures from my iPhone do not do justice. It will be very interesting to see what grade it receives. Well....NGC determined my first and last raw gold coin purchase was indeed cleaned. Grrr...an important reminder of why I never buy raw gold. I have contacted the dealer about the refund. I'm waiting to get the coin back from NGC to finalize the refund - hopefully without issue based on the above. Since I learned of this my hunt continued for an Indian Eagle with nice (to me) eye appeal. I have found it incredibly difficult to find nice looking examples. I found an NGC MS64+ on Ebay that I would not touch (toning) for my collection and I write that only because it amazes me how banged up these coins are in MS grades. I have never seen so many MS62-64 coins that I would consider junk coins. Wow! I came across a coin that looked nice to me yesterday (online) and I picked up it. I spoke to the dealer about it before the purchase as well to clarify what I was seeing in the pictures. The small scratches over the S on the reverse appeared to be on the case for example (dealer confirmed). I look forward to getting the coin in hand to properly evaluate but here are the pics. Wish me luck (ha). PCGS AU58 Edited December 16, 2014 by Matt_dac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jom Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Nice one Matt. On the NGC 64+ with toning you saw: Why wouldn't you "touch" it? Was it because of the toning? In such cases it will depend but many times that could be a sign of originality. With this series you need to be careful of a couple of things. One is the use of putty. It can be hard to detect but once you see it and figure out how to look for it it becomes easier. Another issue are the blemishes you mention. If you do find a coin without nicks and hits don't necessarily jump at it...often lack of luster remains a problem. Another words don't just look for clean surfaces... The one you posted looks nice due to gold toning (slight) around the coin. Based on the photo it looks like a winner! 14-D, although fairly common, can come nice. As does 11-P and 13-P from what I recall. jom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
