Winged,

I agree it should never have been ina 'problem' holder, even they stated it as a planchet flaw, which does not necessitate a problem holder.

Couple new Franklins I just picked up

 

Picked these up today!

 

Picked this one up for my box of 20 (1916-1921), need 10 more.

 

1992-S Jefferson Nickel (PCGS PR67DC). Yes, I know what you are all thinking ... how can that be "natural"? Honestly, I thought this had only a small chance of getting a problem free grade with such wild and vibrant color. I did submit this one "Secure Plus" so it could be sniffed by PCGS's coin sniffer to detect illegal chemicals. One last note on the gradability: See those horizontal streaks on the obverse? I have always gotten grades on toned coins with those streaks -- the reason being is that pattern is very difficult to impossible to engineer/cook. In any case, I only paid a bit over $20 for it so it was a relatively small investment. I think it's a cool piece at least. Certainly unusual.

 

Picked up a couple nice Liberty nickels today. I'm a sucker for coins like this at such cheap prices. Total of $30 for both.

 

$30 for both? How? Those are beauties!

 

yes, gbroke - well bought!

Mat I know nothing about this type of coin, but I must say they are fascinating and to think where they ha been is very cool Congrats on a fine coin... Alan

 

Here's a new barber quarter for my type set.

 

OK, these three are new.

 

1996-S Lincoln Cent Proof (PCGS PR68DC). So I've been trying to expand my colorfully-toned Lincoln Proof Collection into the Zinc era and it's been h-e-l-l finding examples. This target-toned 1996-S was a recent pickup, graded by PCGS as PR68DC. I still don't quite understand why PCGS wouldn't call this a RB with the obverse color clearly covering more than 5% of the coin. They seem to elevate such coins into the full red (RD) category (i.e: DC) if it has any cameo characteristics.



This coin is lonely in my digital coinboard for this 9-year period and needs friends ...
