[QUOTE="hap, post: 384361, member: 14939"]GDJMSP I am playing hooky from work I really should be doing so I cannot take pictures right now, but I have the right stuff to take really good photos and a bit of experience in that regard... I can live with Life's Little Disappointments. ;) I have a little handful of the GSA CCs... A couple toned in the plain cases and a number more in UNC cases. An 1880 CC VAM 9 I-3 R-5 that is particularly well-struck, shows a bit of wagon wheel luster, but borders on too mirrored for that... very lightly baggy on the cheek, but nothing deep or distracting. Lightly might not be the best description, as there is quite a bit, just not deep or beyond minor. I can see it going 64 without any problem and I avoid predicting higher. There is also an '81 CC that is a better strike with a fair amount of frost on the devices and some mirror on the fields, but there is some wagon wheel luster still. It is slightly baggier, but again, nothing deep nor distracting. I believe it would make at least PL and anything below 63 would really disappoint me. I have not attempted to determine which variety it is. After that they are mostly common date CC coins ('78,82, several '83s, several '84s) I picked for looks or price... though poor examples of those were high-graded out. Some are still in the original shipping boxes to remote AK villages with early '73 postmarks. None are ugly or problems. Some toned ones that are clearly UNC, mostly 83 and 84 IIRC. art[/QUOTE]
