Message:: [QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 25984019, member: 104064"]Snuck this one in under the wire. 1901 10c NGC PR64. I tried the [USER=101855]@johnmilton[/USER] strategy of placing a "live proxy" bid after the auction started, and I guess it worked but who knows for sure. There were a few strong bids before the auction but nobody was bidding live on anything. I figured as much, given that it's New Years Eve. Not a stellar deal but I was willing to go ~$100 more. A bittersweet purchase. This completes my set of Barber dime transition varieties, which I have been slowly working on for five years. There were two reverse types in proof during 1901, and this is the later version with the extra fold / thick right ribbon end.

[ATTACH=full]1652892[/ATTACH] My project for 2025 is to see if ANACS (or possibly ICG?) will attribute these varieties. Nobody currently does, although NGC has one of them in their Variety Plus but has an image that is not the type they describe. To collect one of each for a year/mint where an anomaly occurs requires 21 coins. I now have them all. I suppose I might upgrade a few down the road. Happy New Year![/QUOTE]
