And to finally round off my recent acquisitions, these are a few coins I picked up from the local B&M. I was shocked to see how many new pieces he had when I walked in. I felt like a kid in a candy store. First up are a couple of Cherrypicks, the first is a 1910-S Lincoln Cent graded PCGS MS-63BN which as it turns out is an S/S RPM FS-502. Next is funny enough another 1947-S Washington Quarter counterpart to the other 1947-S RPM I bought the day before. This one is a NGC graded MS-66 FS-501. Then there was a really nice looking 1880-S Morgan in a Capital Plastics holder with a blue cardboard insert with silver ink labeled as "San Francisco Brillian Uncirculated U.S. Government Silver Dollar. The reverse is what grabbed my eye, it's a full on DMPL reverse. The obverse is just shy of being PL unfortunately.
And the best for the last, was this stunning 1929-D Standing Liberty Quarter graded MS-65 by PCGS. It is toned a gorgeous gold with highlights in lavender and the fields when not reflecting light have a gorgeous iridescent green and blue tone.
Thanks, I was quite surprised he had that kind of fresh material. He has a 1922 Grant Commemorative with a star for sale as well. It's raw and from the looks of it, I'd say it's MS with a shot at 64 or 65. Not sure if I have the kahunas to gamble on it though. At least buying it and submitting it and hoping it straight grades. But I may talk to him about it.
I'll take every_single_Lincoln you can provide me which looks that good in an MS63 slab. I don't think it necessarily deserves 64, but it's certainly at the top of the indicated grade.
You know, I would have to agree with you. I have seen some MS-63's and they are pretty rough looking. This one is just a beautiful brown. The surfaces are not glossed over like I would expect, there is a lot of texture still there. It may be a good candidate to send to CAC in my first submission as a member.
I think it deserves to be said again !! Look at the obverse of that thing !!!! Imagine what the auction description would say for this coin!!!!!!! I would try my hand at it, but im not drunk enough yet to do it justice.
