Here is my 31-D. NGC and I are still in negotiations as to what they are going to do with it. They sent me a "replacement", but there was as much brown on it as red.
Wow, That is an odd pattern to develop in a slab. Across the whole obverse and even a spots on the reverse. I wonder how many they have to replace. Wonder what they do with the old coin? I read somewhere on the forum where someone claimed that the old coins were wholesaled off and came back into the market,but I didn't see how they could. How long did it take to develop? Jim
Thanks Thad for the compliment. That 39-D is terrific. I think it is easily beyond 66. I agree with rlm on that one. Jim
How long has that MS-65 RD been in that slab? I think I've seen pictures of mummies better preserved than that.
Yeah, I remember the thread. Here is another that is going to be nicer looking in a decade or so. Jim
Did you send the replacement back? What about postage and insurance for the replacement did they cover it? Whats next??
Am I allowed to post one of my favorite coins of a fellow members collection? Larry? May I? I think you know which one I want to post.:high5:
Hey! I paid less that $200. I stand to get either money equivalent to a 65 red or the coin. I could play this game a long time before I would worry about losing money.
I don't have anything splashy like what I have seen posted (yet), and my favorite coin is a coin from France. See avatar. However, since this a post for US coins, I do have a favorite, run of the mill coin which is "special". Special because it was given to me by my mother. It belonged to my Grandfather, who was born in 1879. This was a coin given to her by her mother when he passed away in 1968. I don't know if he carried it in his pocket, or kept it stored away but it is a nice coin to remember him by.
This is definitely my favorite coin in my collection. Sorry if the pics are kinda blurry, took them a while ago but never posted them... enjoy
Here's some of my favorites: 1930 D for it's strike and color. 1868 MS 65 RB (weak strike for the date). 1872 MS 64 RB.:high5: Some of my favorites
