Arrived today. Mintage 15,472. PCGS population: 1,054. 284 at 67 or 68.

 

PCGR PR 65 1890 V nickel. There are interesting polish marks that are toned and vanish under the devices. It's tough to photograph because of reflections, but I will try tomorrow.

 

Picked this up today. AU58 is as far as I can go on this one. MS60 hits four figures.

 

I love old proofs! A fine one you have indeed!

 

Crack out and re-submit.........

 

That thought did occur. Anybody in addition to Ken think it would have a shot?

 

I dunno. I think that baby could do better than a '58.

 

Thing is, I bought it from a sharp dealer who would have jumped at the chance to upgrade it.

 

You should never use the words "Ken" and "Shot" in the same sentence.
Especially have a shot!

 

I fear it's a bit more than a 'shot' dear friend.

 

You've the coin in hand. What ya think?

[best Dirty Harry voice] Ya feelin' lucky?

 

I'll mull it over

 

I would leave it alone - very nice coin, but not sure it would make MS. Then again a cross over to NGC might or might not make. Maybe a CAC sticker would help when you go to sell it. Just my humble opinion. I have a new 58+ - really nice coin in hand, but mine is definitely not worth a re-submit.

 

Your coin looks better than many of the low mint state range coins I have seen that have obvious friction. Congratulations on your new purchase.

 

Thanks!

 

Heavens, that is a nice DMPL. And a CC to boot. It wins both ends of the doubleheader.
