The "probably last" part means that I consider the gold Early US Commemoratives that I don't have are too expensive for my budget. PCGS MS-63 OGH (The white fleck at 9 on the reverse is on the slab.) I'd like your opinion on whether you think it would upgrade. I don't have a firm opinion as to what is keeping it at a -63.
I'm not a grading expert, but I think it could make 64. There are a few minor hits on the reverse, and some rub on McKinley's face, but I think by today's standards it would get the bump up to 64. So does this mean you've completed the 50 (or 144) silver set, and all the realistically collectible golds? That's awesome!
Not an expert by any means grading gold but grading the coin in general I'm seeing a 65 maybe higher specimen. Outstanding piece...it definitely a 65 + by my eye.
Gold for the moment is done. Silver commems have a way to go. I'm missing some of the keys: -- Hawaii -- Hudson -- Old Spanish Trail -- Cincinnati (P)DS And I have a LOT of filling in to do with the multiyear issues: -- 12 more Oregon -- 11 more Texas -- 13 more Boone -- 9 more Arkansas I'm not above getting some in AU rather than MS. A fair number of my early ones are AU.
I'm also really close (5 left) to the 50 set. I may go for the 144 set, but I haven't really decided yet. When you say , does that mean you already have the P, or ? My final 5 are: Antietam Hudson Maine Missouri Spanish Trail I would really love an all MS set, but I still do have a couple of raw, 4 slabbed AU's (Lafayette, California, Monroe, Pan-Pac), and a couple of details coins (Lafayette, Hawaii). The Hawaii is an UNC details, so I won't be replacing that, but I think I'll be upgrading/replacing the others. Once I get to that point, I may look to the 144.
That too. But mine gave just a bit more info. Lack of a mm means Philadelphia. Not really important until you get into modern coins where some actually have a P.
