Message:: [QUOTE="Ethan, post: 1969586, member: 68800"]Question - are the NoFG 72's all that bad? I find 72D that look MS63+ at times but all of my 72D NoFG's do not meet the die marker. I think three out of 10 did. Begs the question though on rareness. If that 'bad' die was just started and used then a few would have come off very nice. I think I understand your point as being the die is worn as many of the 70's are but there are really nice ones also, think 71D's. If what you are saying is these NoFG's came from a worn die set then it would make sense. I started filling books (non proof) when I started CRH again. I am working on my 6th one now, well maybe call it 6.5 as I have a short book also. I pull nice ones in and try to get the best I can. The hardest coins to find are the 70D, never found one in the wild. After that, it is the 87's. Here is the odd part, I find 84's extremely hard to get in BU condition, or AU+ if you prefer. Weak strikes always make me think of 84's. 85's and 86's are not much better but I find them more and 88's and 89's can be fantastic. So using this as a guide, is that what you are saying about the 72D NoFG as far as quality?[/QUOTE]
