I've cracked my share of proof sets, so I would esimate that less than half of the 1955-1972 proof sets are still intact. Charlie
Nice find, Palindrome.:thumb: Charlie
Blunt and Pointed 9 refer to the 9 in the date. Here are some pics. Charlie
Proof dimes aren't that popular of a series, so it isn't worth all that much; although it is pretty cool to have the only 69. Yup, I picked up...
I made a 1964 Blunt 9 Roosevelt Dime in PF-69 Ucam at NGC. It is the highest one graded out of 6 total. Charlie
It looks like it might have been struck through grease. Grease strike throughs are usually worth a couple dollars each. Charlie
The only NTC coin I ever cracked out and resubmitted, upgraded from a NTC PF-64 Cam to a NGC PF-67 UCam.:cool: Of course this is the exception...

Wow!!! Now that is WORN. If you can get it into a PCGS slab, there are people with PO-1 registry sets that would want it. Charlie
In my view PCGS and ANACS are the same when it comes to playing with the MS/PF-70 grade. I feel that they both only give 70's to big submiters....
Ever since James Taylor arrived at ANACS, I have seen a lot of MS/PF-70 coins in their holders. Strangely enough, they have all been sold by...
Can you post a pic of the rim? It might be a partial collar strike. Charlie
It looks like it is either counterfeit, or damaged in a fire. Charlie
I think it might have "environmental damage." I would definitely send it to NCS. Charlie
