    Stacks in New York acquired a large coin accumulation with lots of mid grade type coins. It’s my understanding that they made a deal with NGC to certify them with the Stacks pedigree. I think it’s more of a marketing gimmick than a true pedigree like Newman. The holders don’t appear to carry a premium in the market and some on this forum have accused them of being overgraded. Personally I have no issue with them. The one Stacks coin I have, an AU58 copper nickel Indian cent, looks fine for the grade, and the half cent looks nice too.

    I wasn't familiar with the special NGC Stacks slabs until I saw the half cent, so that was more than I knew about them. I bought the coin, not the slab, and the price seemed right as well. I figured, well, some correlation to Stack's can't hurt, but I'm not surprised that it carries no extra weight in the market. I just wanted an NGC graded Draped Bust half cent. Done.

    I have been wanting to add a Peace Dollar to my type set for a long time. It would seem like that should be easy, but the series is full of blast white dip monsters and I wanted one with some character. Also I wanted a somewhat better date as the 22’s and 23’s seem common and boring to me. So finally I found one worth pulling the trigger on for a modest CAC premium. When I opened the mail today I wasn’t disappointed.

    I won’t even look at a coin in a W57th slab, and that’s coming from an NGC fanboy...

    Here’s another new type set addition. I like both the look of Barbers in higher grades as well as their scarcity. There aren’t many of these around even in AU.

    When I was a kid, back in the sixties, the NY Times Sunday edition had a coin section and Stacks was a big seller there. Bought some Morgans from them back then. I still have them.......

    I love that you still have the coins you bought way back then.

    There’s a lot of crap but some decent stuff if you dug through it. I bought quite a few. Most were cac approved too. Anything that didn’t sell I crossed to pcgs

It’s a semi pl luster bomb too scratches are die polish lines. I’ve sent it 3 times. Always went straight all au last one was a bs 55 so I had to do it again back at 58 . I figured it at 62.

    Finally cleaned my desk off. Felt like shooting this one again for practice since they are so small and the colors make it even harder.
