    1911 Barber Half. Found in junk bin, I can only assume due to the scratch on the reverse. I'll take it for spot.

    illini420 1909 Collector

    Saw these at one of the local coin shops the other day and had to get them. As some of you may know, I like PCGS graded coins and also like collecting old slabs. Before starting up PCGS, David Hall certified coins as David Hall's Numismatic Investment Group and sealed the coins in plastic flips (with the coin in a hard plastic holder inside the flip to prevent PVC damage). For modern proofs like these, I'm pretty sure the highest grade given out was "Mint State 65" at the time. Accordingly, when finding these old flips, you can get some decent deals when you know the coins would grade higher under current standards. For example, the 1954 nickel is graded "Gem Proof Mint State 65." Today I think it would be a Proof 66 Cameo, maybe even a Proof 67 Cameo. And of course, the best part is that I think I got these pretty cheap as the dealer didn't seem to care much about them :)

    Bank was open this morning so you may get lucky as the politically correct have been trying to abolish Columbus day

    Pretty vanilla but I still like her...especially for lower than the cost of grading!

    Maybe a 66... But it's tough to tell if it's got FB from the photos you've included. Either way, she's a beaut! :)
