<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RomanTheRussian, post: 2468799, member: 7539&quot;]Turn-around times aside, a decent bunch of newps to add to my primary sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>One disappointment was the 1811-HJ/TH variety that I have been hunting for a while and I thought that I finally got my hands on a problem-free condition (currently in a straight-graded NGC holder), but PCGS seems to disagree, citing old cleaning. I&#039;ll resubmit this coin back to NGC to update the label with proper variety designation and will continue the hunt for another example.</p><p><br /></p><p>#1 - Mexico 1802 Mo-FT/M over-assayer in XF45. Picked it up raw from Jesus Vico last year. Nice original XF example and the first one certified by PCGS. Fills a registry slot in my Charles IV Set (<a href="http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/alltimeset.aspx?s=98849" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/alltimeset.aspx?s=98849" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/alltimeset.aspx?s=98849</a> )</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/81209096_large.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>#2 - Mexico 1811 Mo-HJ Draped Bust in XF45. Years ago when I first started dating my soon-to-be-wife, I gave her this coin as a present and she kept it carefully preserved all these years. With the wedding in just a few weeks, I thought it would be nice to get it preserved in something more durable than a napkin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> As an added bonus, it fits nicely in my Ferdinand VII Draped Bust Set (<a href="http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/alltimeset.aspx?s=98850" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/alltimeset.aspx?s=98850" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/alltimeset.aspx?s=98850</a> )</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/81209097_large.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>#3 and #4 are both Mexico 1801 Mo-FT/M over-assayers. Both were picked-up in unattributed NGC plastic. Both graded AU53 (one crossed at the same grade, one downgraded as expected). I already own an AU50 example as part of my set that will now be replaced by the second one below.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/81209928_large.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/81209929_large.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>#5 is the 1811 Mo-HJ/TH that did not cross. Would love to hear your opinion on it. First image is by Phil @ PCGS, second is from Heritage.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/romamart/1811MohjthNGC_zpskiobgh1n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/romamart/1811MohjthNGC_ha_zpsu8ijvsxz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Decent bunch, overall. 2 new registry slots filled and one upgrade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
