do you buy chace have close ups of the doubling I would love to see them.

 

Yes, I do. It's tripling, though, not doubling. The tripled notches are prominent in the letters I, N, G, T and R.

 

Thanks! I appreciate it.

 

I feel somewhat contrarian here, but in your very nice pictures I see no doubling, much less tripling. All I see is a reflection of the lighting at the curvature where the vertical sides of the letters meet the horizontal plane of the fields.

I occasionally see similar things in my photos, but moving the lights will remove the effect, or at least move it around to the direction the light is coming from.

So I am not trying to rain on your parade here, but I honestly don’t see anything but some very nicely formed letters and a great photo of them.

 

I’ll help,

 

1878- 7TF Reverse of 1878 MS64PL

 

I believe I have this variety, or one like it somewhere in the hoard. It’s a fantastic coin, pics too! I could never have gotten pics like that!

 

@Nathan401 - The TDO exists for the proof issues of '71, '72 and '73. I'm not sure about 1974. I'll have to consult the literature. But here's '71 through '73 together.....





The close-up for 1973 (don't have one for '71...... yet), and I need to re-shoot it. It's a lot blurrier than I remember.

I found the pic

 

Very nice!

 

I sold all my 5 oz P-Pucks a few years back but I liked this one so here it be.
It's my first NGC and the slab is huge.

New arrival. This half eagle shows commerce in a strong fashion.

 

2019 Cook Islands 1964 Morgan Dollar Tribute $5 gold. .024oz AGW

I walked into my favorite coin shop after my doctor's appointment to browse and chat. He had a few of these little gold pieces and I asked to look at them. I was mainly interested in the retro slab, but also liked the fact it was shiny. The owner told me how he got them. A customer walked in and sold them to him expecting to get melt for them. Sadly, when he bought them, he paid melt for a 1/10 oz coin.

The wording on them is intentionally tricky stating "1/10 OZ .24 PURE GOLD" clearly identifying it, but not too clearly. One reading it would read it as 1/10 OZ 24k pure gold if they miss that decimal point. Sadly the customer did that. I personally think it is a slimy scheme for the mint to put this out, but I had to get it for the story. I only paid melt for it, so I am happy.



I also picked up this barber quarter.

 

I am one step closer to completing the 1880's decade with the arrival of this 1880 IHC. I just need the two 1886 varieties to wrap it up.

Luster on this one is just terrific. Details are crisp and sharp, as you can see. Overall, it's a real beauty.

I have yet to figure out whether these blue and gold coins are RD, RB, or Brown, when it doesn't show any red or brown anywhere. If someone knows and wants to explain, I'm eager to understand!

 

Picked these two up last week.
