Okay, here's the last coin from my first ANACS submission (I've posted earlier threads for the gold, the Peace dollars, and the Barber halves)....
Well, the title of "Honorary ANACS Grader" goes to bkozak33, who nailed both coins with the first reply on the thread: 1901-S -- XF 40 details...
It does seem like the delays between things getting listed (or sold) and showing up in searches are getting longer and less predictable.
Hitting the bottle early today we are, hrm? :)
Thanks, everybody -- grades for these tomorrow evening, along with a new thread for the last coin from the batch, a Type 1 1917 SLQ.
No chance of getting more photos tonight, so I'll go ahead an post the grades: 1921: MS62 1934-S: AU50 I'm pleased with both. I wasn't sure the...
Well, I'll be. I never even noticed (and, apparently, neither did ANACS.) I darkened the first image to more accurately reflect its in-hand...

Well, I'd like to believe that ANACS is a lot tougher grading than everybody thinks, but I think the safer conclusion is just that "grading from...
Click on "other items" near the top of the page to see a list of the other things he's got for sale, then look near the bottom of the left-hand...
I wish it were so, but we lost that battle decades ago. :( The term "hacker" is lost to the dark side for good.
Holy cats, look at his sold items! For $38 BIN, a "BU" 1879-S Morgan -- MS66 OGH...
You know, I actually saw that one come up, and it didn't make it through my mental filter. :( I think I subconsciously categorized it as yet...
It's certainly possible in principle, especially if they get damp. That would tend to make the copper corrode away, while protecting the silver --...
I'll wait a bit longer in case any of the afternoon crowd want to have a guess, and then I'll post grades tonight, I think.
