<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismania, post: 2230558, member: 28971&quot;]In my quest for a complete set of PCGS bronze IHC&#039;s, all in MS, I&#039;ve posted my 1862 and 1863 IHC&#039;s, both blessed by the CAC gods with &#039;green beans&#039;.&nbsp; I just picked up an 1864 CuNi, and an 1864 bronze, both n PCGS plastic.&nbsp; First images are of my new CuNi 1864, PCGS MS63, in an OGH (no carbon flecks!)...this one MAY go for an upgrade, OR it may go to CAC in it&#039;s current slab...I would think this one is pretty much a great candidate for a &#039;green bean&#039;, considering it&#039;s slab generation (I know, it&#039;s not a &#039;gimme&#039; that an OGH will upgrade or bean, but I judge by the COIN, not the slab).&nbsp; But I just HAD to grab this one, ESPECIALLY seeing it&#039;s in the OGH.&nbsp; Feel free to comment on my thoughts about the future of this coin, OR on my thoughts about upgrading/CAC&#039;ing (with the &#039;62 and &#039;63 already &#039;beaned&#039;, my goal is to have all 5, with &#039;beans&#039;...not sure if I&#039;ll delve into varieties)&nbsp; ...these are seller&#039;s images...enjoy, hopefully: [ATTACH=full]438400[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]438401[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And, here are the images of the 1864 bronze PCGS MS64 BN, which is also a Snow-11 (wasn&#039;t looking for varieties, but this one is sharp, especially for a BN coin.&nbsp; This variety should be out in the latest volume of the CPG, so, this one MAY go back for attribution.&nbsp; Though, at the cost of losing the Eagle Eye Photo Seal sticker, it may just stay in it&#039;s current tomb, and possibly try for a &#039;green bean&#039;.&nbsp; Again, feel free to comment about the coin itself, or my thoughts about &#039;beaning&#039; it ..again, these are seller&#039;s photo&#039;s (I WILL receive a cleaned-up slab, WITHOUT the hair on it!!&nbsp; lol) [ATTACH=full]438404[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]438405[/ATTACH]</p><p>Feel free to offer up any comments...thanks for looking, and/or commenting on the coins or the possibility of upgrade or &#039;beans&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>edited to add:&nbsp; I never mentioned the reason for my buying the &#039;64 bronze, where my goal is MS CuNi IHC&#039;s....while it&#039;s cost would have been a large portion of the &#039;61 I have my eye on, I just LOVED the look of this coin.&nbsp; I have a thing for that &#039;shiny&#039; look, like it had a nice &#039;swabbing&#039; of the old &#039;Blue Ribbon&#039; conditioner.&nbsp; NOTHING on the market can do what Blue Ribbon did, despite claims that some products DO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
