66 5FS ...I think the steps just make it (well maybe not with the NGC grader you got) and the surfaces are relatively clean (I don't think the...
Thank you! I will be honest and say that while I try to be patient and picky, I don't always stick to that strategy. I had my share of "duds" this...
@geekpryde I enjoy following your collection and we probably have competed for some of the same coins at GC. I'm sure we have beat each other...
@Lehigh96 I think you forgot the reveal on this coin #8 post.
I saw that one and was thinking it looked similar. See my other thread (I tagged you) where I reference your custom set.
As an ode to @Lehigh96 I present the sequel to the battle of pedigrees. Over 15 years ago, Lehigh did a cool competition where he compared toned...
1885-O Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS-63 ★ (Great Falls Collection) ....and a bonus #11...this Morgan was picked up after my top 10 list and it was...
I believe it was around 2022. From what I recall seeing, the generic MS 65 Morgan was as high as $185 in the greysheet (translating to about...
I went low (VF 35) because of two things: 1) it did not seem like there was any luster (which knocked it down below AU for me) and 2) the wear on...
Sounds like you have a project for 2025! :D But in all seriousness, completing the non-gold 7070 is a big accomplishment!
VF 35 ...congrats on completing the 7070!
Kazakhstan has their own mint and they make their own coins. In fact, Kazakhstan also makes coins for other countries (Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and...
MS 66 5FS ...I see some die polish lines and suggestions of it being semi-pl but I don't think there is enough there for a star...
Some of the popular coins are still strong. Buying a Mexico Caballito is a challenge at what I consider reasonable prices (I regret selling my one...
You are right about those NGC folks not knowing what steps are...
I think the ones you show are better than G4; the first few look to be in the VF range and the last two in the XF-AU range. Like others have...
A nice group of fun additions! I like the 1966 quarter, the token, and 1968 Kennedy most.
MS 66+ & 5FS ....I think it is clean and lustrous enough to be a high end 66 (thus the plus) but not quite a 67....given the previous few, the...
NGC also keeps forgetting the 5FS...
Much appreciated!
