I Could this be an SMS coin that has lived in an album for many years causing the toning?

1980-D Premium GEM BU 5FS (NGC Submission--MS66 5FS)

 

I think it has to be, the 1966 business strikes just don't look that nice and they are ultra rare in full steps.

 

Ok guys, are you ready for the moneymakers. I will list the coins from 1982 & 1983 and the grades I think they are, and let you look up the price tags.

Those are some interesting die states.
They seem to be pretty tough on these moderns.
Keeping my eyes peeled for their return.

 

I’m expecting MS66 5FS on all three of those. I could see one or two getting MS65 or MS65+ 5FS, but no way anything less than gem grade.

Despite the softness due to extensive die wear, the strikes are hammered and the steps are razor sharp. In addition, all three coins are very clean, and the die wear creates great luster.

In my experience, NGC doesn’t lower the grade based on die state, they consider it “as struck.” I have an early 70’s in MS67 with the entire surface blanketed in orange peel texture.

 

I wasn't really worried about the surfaces as much as the sharpness of the steps, I think they are there but I don't have the coins in hand.

 

That 1941 has a population of 32 with only 3 finer. That was a score. I've never seen so many full steps in one place as I have this thread. lol

 

Struck out on this one!

 

I kinda figured this, but it was worth the shot at the big money.

 

Was really hoping for MS66 5FS on this one so I could replace my registry coin with a homemade, but you can't win em all.

 

They were harsh on this one, I was expecting premium gem for certain.

 

Yeah, I think they got the grades mixed up with the 73-P, lol.

 

Not much value in this date/mm but I am putting it in my registry set because I am addicting to adding "homemades."

 

GRRRRRRRR, where are my 5FS NGC?

 

Again with no full steps NGC, I see how it is, you don't love me anymore huh?

 

This one they gave me the full steps but not the premium gem grade (clenching my fists).

 

Listen NGC, don't make me angry, you won't like me when I'm angry.
