I would say that it looks MS to me and given that I'd grade it MS-62
I also want another one, but I think that although the reverse proof coin will be much sought after like last time, the absolute must-have coin...
they usually don't limit less than 5, but it could be a possibility. The last time I saw strict limits was 1999 when they limited limited silver...
the speculators will be into this set big time. If you by chance miss out on this when they become available, sit tight, because they will spike...
there will only be 100,000 of these. Less than the 1996 20th anniversary set. This will NOT be an easy set to acquire, and speculators will render...
I suppose this could be true, because there has never been a non-proof S mintmarked ASE, but those reverse proofs are VERY popular as well and...
I'd say MS-62 or maybe 63. The coin's surfaces are great and there's no sign of rub or luster breaks. The only thing holding this coin back is the...
thanks for the contest siggi!!! and congrats to D.T. Menace
IMHO This set will be 3 things: it will be pricey it will be exclusive and it will be popular This set is going to be another...
What a great time! I met a few of the people whom I have chatted with over the years, I got to hang out with Carlton and Darryl (USS656) and meet...
Sorry that I missed you, Sam. I have always wanted to meet you because you're from Lisle and I may have mentioned it at one time or another, but I...
the type 1 and 2 for 1939 are referring to the reverse hub used. In 1939, the reverse hub was modified and the step relief was changed. The old...
no, it's not my first. I went to the ANA in Chicago (same hall) in 1998. Shows like these are events and should not be missed if you can avoid it....
Today was my first day at the Worlds Fair of Money in Rosemont, IL and I just wanted to say WOW!!!! I got to meet a few people for the first...
the end coins are doubtless silver. left end 90%, right end 40%, and the one in the middle may well be just discolored.
I didn't read any further before I replied, but I think we both agree.
while qualifying this with, it's hard to tell from the edges alone, I'll hazard a guess. #1 is a 90%, 2,3,4, and 5 are CuNi, 6 may be 40% but...
I was thinking VF
I agree. It's worth the price of submission IMHO. The risk/reward is good enough and the coin does look naturally toned, but know the TPGs as...
The biggest problem with these early 1950s unopened proof sets is that the only way to find out whether or not the set is genuine, you have to...
