OK, so what grade do you think they are?

39D MS-66+ RD
28 MS-65+ RB

I estimate those are the minimum TPG grades I would receive.

 

How about a couple more...with these theads there's no such thing as ONE favorite. LOL

 

Jim - Your DDO's are AWESOME!

 

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

 

I bought it that way. See http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t44616/

 

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 one is up there for me.

 

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

 

I'm in the franklin mood, right now its this guy

 

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

 

I like that 1868
