<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 7831477, member: 13307&quot;]Picked up a group of 68-70 Mint Sets the other day, going through them and whoever owned these sure must have gotten the sets fresh off the dies.&nbsp; By my count there are at least 4 solid proof-like (PL) coins and quite a few possibles.&nbsp; Not to mention a nice RPM, two DDR, and my very first 1970 D Kennedy Rusted Die Reverses (never found a single one in the dozens I&#039;ve picked up, today I find 3.)</p><p><br /></p><p>None, so far, caused quite the feeling of &quot;expelling a brick&quot; so much as getting about as close to a Full Step 1969 S (Business Strike) Jefferson Nickel as I&#039;m ever going to get.</p><p><br /></p><p>Man, is it so breathtakingly close.&nbsp; The pictures don&#039;t quite show all the detail (I&#039;ll see if I can get some better ones to show how close it really is) but there is a light weakness under Column 1 (even with the smudge the lines are complete in the corner) and a big old smudge between 2-3...but under that there are full lines of steps.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sooooooooo close.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Please keep in mind I am very aware that &quot;close&quot; does not count...but man, it&#039;s so breathtakingly close!)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1345772[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Better shot of steps.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1345787[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Another couple shots of steps.&nbsp; Again, I&#039;m NOT saying it qualifies as FS under what I understand to be the standards, I&#039;m saying it&#039;s drastically closer than any other example I&#039;ve seen.&nbsp; And not that far off from qualifying.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1345798[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1345799[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
