Let's see your newest acquisitions!

I have no clue what the spots are, otherwise I though it was a solid 64 with a shot at 65.

1961 Lincoln Cent Circulation Strike (MS65RB). Colorfully toned Proof Lincolns from the year 1961 are almost common; while toned Circulation Strikes from that same year are quite a bit more rare. I am not sure what the fine parallel lines are in the obverse field, is it possible they are die polish lines?

 

Just bought now. Not sure what the dark spot it on the reverse. MS64 Anyone on the spot?

 

Here Something Else about Buying.
Test on Old Green label PCI grades on mostly Morgan dollar and Peace dollars.

Good post.

 

I graded it at Extra Fine on both of the Florins

 

Probably a carbon spot on the back

 

I've been watching for the Golden PCI first few years slabs to be evaluated, Oldest ones.

 

Gorgeous toned 1961!! Those streaks are almost assuredly die polish lines

 

Do coins degrade once slabbed? This quarter is graded MS65 by NGC. Would the dark residue likely have been there on the obverse when it was graded? I understand the grading company casings are not air tight, so humidity over time will cause issues eventually. Got it for below half of its NGC valuation.

 

That's a fairly recent pronged holder. I suspect that's what the coin looked like when slabbed. Perhaps another example of gradeflation.

 

Hope they would not resort to buying us off to send coins for grading in that way!

 

Just married ( me & the coin ;-)

 

gorgeous toning there. wow envy is the word.

 

On silver?

 

My latest....

 

YES!!!! I have have been on the hunt for this coin to match my other for a good while. Wasn't sure I would see it since it has a population of 6 with the plus grade. I now am probably the only person in the world with the matching set since both pops are so low. The Reverse of 1938, which I got last year, has a pop of 4 in the plus grade.

 

Got it other Frank.

 

This has got some pedigree though I'm not sure how rare? (What is S/S?)

I do not have better pictures, so trusting PCGS with this.

I get a "Can not find matching coin" when searching PCGS database.

 

If this retains its brilliance with time, it should be interesting in years to come.

It could just be the lighting though!
