Grade opinion of colorful proof

BTW - at least from what I see on Teletrade, it seems that a PF67 is a higher end grade.

The second one would grade PF 69 ultra cam.

Jazzcoins Joe:whistle:

 

I really like that set. Those are the kinds of things I would go for. I don't care about the grade. I wanna know what's attractive to me. Lucky guy, you!

 

I don't know if this particular set came from a flat pack or box. I doubt that it was cherry picked from several sets. All the coins have similar toning patterns so I believe all five coins were probably from one set. This particular 1955 set was already housed in the 5-coin holder when I purchased it from Teletrade. Since then, I have put similar sets together for 1952, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8. If they photograph well tonight, then I will post the pictures.

Yes, NGC still offers the 5-coins holders. I hope they continue because I'm hoping to eventually complete the series with 1950, 51, & 57 toned proof sets.

I thought the joke was pretty obvious, but whatever.

 

I like that 1955 Proof! I give 9.95 of 10 if it were a cameo a 10!!!

 

67 is the midpoint of grades issued by NGC for this issue.

Here are the pops in 65-69, respectively, with 67 bolded:

285 621 1254 895 12

Hope this helps...Mike

p.s. I still think the OP got hosed on the CAM designation, but NGC can be very tough on these.

 

Be careful. I believe the coin pictured is a proof, and the coins you list are all business strikes, so the coin pictured is in all likelihood not one of those listed.

Respectfully...Mike

 

I think your right. coinfacts has it as the cover coin, by I have no idea what it was graded as.

good call, Doug! and I would say that half of those spots don't exist as they are merely reflections of the spots!

 

Are they on the coin or the plastic?

five more toned proof sets

Yeah I want to know that to.

NGC still offers 5-coin set encapsulation. These 1952 throught 1956 sets pale in comparison to the 1955 set.

Thanks for sharing! I love proof sets!

Ruben

 

Yep.

I don't think they restrict multi-coin encapsulation to proof sets, though I'm sure that's popular amongst the multi-coin slabs.

Judging by their website, you can choose any theme you like for a multi-coin slab. I personally don't recall seeing one.
