<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Skyman, post: 1956428, member: 28299&quot;]Nice looking coins LD, GP and BK!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>I also REALLY appreciate your posting of a BU, Trav!!!&nbsp; It&#039;s important to show that most coins in mint sets from this era are NOT attractively toned.&nbsp; That&#039;s why I posted the coins I did.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m rather amused/saddened that I started this exact same thread, at the exact same time, on both the PCGS and NGC boards and NO ONE replied to the threads.&nbsp; I guess over there they are so high and mighty they wouldn&#039;t consider posting to a thread that started off with a less than attractive coin unless the coin was a send up of some sort (e.g. a &quot;run over&quot; coin, or some ugly thing on eBay, or a PO2 coin).&nbsp; Heaven&#039;s forbid that people might do a thread that showed the range of looks of a specific grouping of coins.&nbsp; To me it&#039;s important to show what a standard toned Mint Set specimen looks like.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On the prettier side, here are three coins from the same 1951 set.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a Roosevelt, IMO it&#039;s not technically nice enough to be worth slabbing, but I do find it attractive.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m246/SkyMan58/Mint%20Sets/sc51RS.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m246/SkyMan58/Mint%20Sets/sc51RSrev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s one of the &#039;51-S Washingtons.&nbsp; I sent it in to PCGS and it came back MS66.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m246/SkyMan58/WashingtonsSlabbed/sc51sWA.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m246/SkyMan58/WashingtonsSlabbed/sc51sWArev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the other of the &#039;51-S Franklins.&nbsp; I sent it in to PCGS and it came back MS65FBL.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m246/SkyMan58/Frankies/sc51sFR.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m246/SkyMan58/Frankies/sc51sFRrev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
