[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2629451, member: 77413"]The 1912 was listed as Gem BU++ on eBay. The 1912-D was in a PCGS AU58 holder at David Lawrence. I made an offer and they took it. There is some chatter in the obverse field, but I really like the woody reverse. I figure it will always regrade at AU58 if it needs to, so I took it out of its holder so it would fit in my tray. The 1912-S was listed as AU on eBay with tiny pictures. I mostly see an attractive blue toning over the high points, myself. I must be terrible at grading, because I really don't see all that much difference between these coins. [ATTACH=full]578340[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]578342[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]578343[/ATTACH] This one seems proof-like to me, but doesn't have the diagnostic die scratch that runs through the ERT of LIBERTY. If I never get it graded I can always imagine that it could be a proof; if I send it in I would have to give up that fantasy. Unless it is...;) [ATTACH=full]578341[/ATTACH] Edit: The most expensive of these four coins was $133. I learned from another thread to keep an eye out for AU's that may turn out to be a bargain.[/QUOTE]
