A purchase from a couple of weeks ago - I really enjoy this piece. While not a coin it is my favorite at this time. American Bank Note Company - American Eagle printing plate . Used for a few issues but mainly on their stocks.
1941-S JEFFERSON LARGE S VARIETY IN MS67' Here's a Jefferson Variety that's becoming very popular due to its limited supply in higher grades. A well known author' Bernard Nagengast mentioned this in the Jefferson Nickel Analyst a total of (10) dies were made to create this 1941-S Jefferson nickel. From all those Dies only > (1) was a mistakenly struck mintmark that brought about this incredible variety. When in search for these, always remember to loupe-in and look for the Trianglar Serif, to verify it. From what I've referenced, with only (1) Die, in very high mintstate condition? The only way the value could go on this is Up! Both sides of this coin, the fields are clean an clear of any distractions.This is a great find of a rare piece that definitely belongs in my collection. As of this date Jan 2013 Ngc has only certified (3) at this grade level in MS-67 . Pcgs doesn't have any in this high of grade yet! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't go wrong with my first Bust Half. My favorite for now...will probably be replaced by a new favorite in the near future.
Choosing a favorite would be hard, but I don’t plan on parting with this one anytime soon. It’s definitely my best EBay auction pickup based on price to quality.
@Randy_K did you notice that you posted the same coin on page 1, over 6 years ago! It's a lovely coin and has clearly stood out even years later!
Truthfully, I didn't look back that far! I got an email ping on this topic today. PCGS graded this SLQ in 2010 as MS67FH with a population of two.
IMO, it should be your favorite coin regardless of what the 3rd party supposed "experts" think of its grade-worthiness. That is a superb example of the type!
Thank you! My only concern is if there was a cleaning or something I missed. I don't care if they call it XF or AU (though AU wouldn't bother me). I was actually looking for a single Taler because of how much cheaper they generally are. I was very surprised and proud of myself for finding a Doppeltaler in such a great condition.
