Still mine for a couple of years... ...pics aren't the best, sorry. This beauty is among the best though, scoring 1500 points in my NGC reg set
No Sir, it's a little bit better! The more elusive 1881-O, graded MS-64+ I figured I'd better not show the reverse since it doesn't have any color....but:
Very nice. Is it a PL? Looks like a lot of heavy die polish on the reverse. Kitty is almost missing a leg!
I just crossed five of my Mercs from NGC to PCGS. All were in old holders. The 39D and the 45S went up in grade. The only disappointment I had is that the 38 did not go FB. It was not FB in NGC either, but I really think it is a FB coin. I also believe the 38 could grade higher if I resubmit, but it probably isn't worth it. Tell me which one you like most and why! The 39D or the 38 are my favs. I will have a few more TrueViews to post in a few days . . .
Another very nice group. I love the blue reverse on the 45S. It would have been amazing paired with the obverse of the 41. I think the 38 has the best overall look, moreso than the 39D because I'm not much of a fan of splotchy toning. I would say the 41 is my second favorite overall. I still need to get myself a nice, toned Merc for my type set. These are making me envious...
The toning on this one looks better than my pics but , as stupid as it sounds, I bought this mainly because of the old ANA holder.
