Just back from Robec. He really did an amazing job capturing the colors of this one. 1951 NGC PF64 RB with some nice cameo contrast. IMHO, it should have gotten a higher grade and a "BN" rating, but I'm happy that NGC even graded it at all. Alternate Photo:
Gorgeous coin! I am currently getting a collection together to send to Robec for imaging. His photography is amayzing and I cant wait to get my coins imaged by him.
Thanks - if you'd like to see my proof shield nickel set... http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/publishedset.aspx?s=72283
Latest ancient A type I hadnt seen before and since I was unhappy with 2 previous larger bronzes of him I found this, which I am happy with. Plus this is much rarer The profile shows more details at different light angles then this pic shows. Claudius (41-54 A.D.) Attalea Lycia AE 19 O: Bare head left, R: ΑΤΤΑΛΕΩΝ, helmeted head of Athena right. Attalea mint 4.44g RPC I 3366
Yeah its been a while. Been busy with a new military move and job and having to move my family and get settled in but I think I am all done and can start getting involved again in the coin collecting. Even found me a nice little coin shop near by that is ran by a sweet old couple. While I was there I managed to pick up the 1965, 66, and 67 SMS sets for $10 each and a three 10c toned Silver Rosie set for $9. I got to get them over to robec for imaging but as soon as I get them back I will make sure to post them. Take care bud and I look forward to talking again soon.
My latest set of Roosies are here and I'm really happy with them. It was a good price and had some awesome toners! http://www.ebay.com/itm/DANSCO-ROOSEVELT-DIMES-1946-2005-BOOK-PROOF-ONLY-ISSUES-/280986262219?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item416c161acb&nma=true&si=IHd6W4FuyahGgAZUvWn2eC3E8Zg%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
