Glad to see you won this one. I was curious to see what it actually looked like. Very nice!
Were you bidding on the 55S as well?

 

I have one just like that, I sent in in hoping for a D

 

I was bidding like crazy. I missed by $10, but I have no idea what the high bidder's max was. It was a gorgeous dime.

 

My latest. 1921 cracked planchet Morgan.

This shouldn't be a surprise. Arrived today.

Overflow from my THREE Danscos (good old OCD). Images by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

 

How long has this quarter been in this flip?

 

At least since 1954 and not a day sooner.

 

That reminds me, I gotta order mine yet

 

Took exactly a week to arrive

 

I'll keep that in mind

 

Beautiful.

 

Did NGC not label the cracked planchet by accident, or is that something that has to be specified when purchasing their service?

 

My birth year. Bet it's been in that flip about as long I've been around.

 

The newest edition to the "NSP Well Traveled (read: lower grade) Bust Quarter Collection" arrived recently! It's an 1821 Browning-3, Rarity 2 or 3, depending on which website I look on. It's graded G06 by NGC.

 

The price and style look like mid sixties. But watch out for formaldehyde induced spotting common in the early plastic flips.

But it looks good. Perhaps it was kept in a low moisture environment.

 

Still on a medieval kick, latest addition is a Soldino as well as my first medieval coin featuring a "doge".
