Hi All, I received some coins back from PCGS today. These 4 were interesting results. Here is a 1972/72 DDO Die #1. I really thought this might make a 67 ( yeah, I know, be happy it is a 66) and I am happy. The 1955/55 DDo had been graded a very long time ago as ANACs AU50, so that was nice. This 1909 Lincoln Matte Proof was sent in mainly for authentication as their was a lot of discussion as whether it was or not. It is, but how and where they found wear for a 58, I will never know., but it is a part of my mattes now. The 3Leg buffalo was questionable color. Jim
They all look great. The 55DD is awesome...:high5: The 1909 PF58 ....:bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow: .
Great coins Jim ! I had a 3 legger come back the same way last week too. It's a bummer- so is that the beginnings of a lamintion peel above the Indians eye ? Or are his veins popping out of his head from being a no grade?
Her is the 09 Matte PF. I think they graded it 58 more for the "grime"/ toning in the letters than much else. But that is OK, at least it was real and I feel good about picking it up raw at a show. I think it is a really nice coin! Jim
IMO, that matty needs to be cracked and go back and get graded again. Unless the coin's luster is very flat, I don't see enough wear to signify a PR58 grade.
Thanks all. I do appreciate your kind words. It is always a learning experience when the grades come in! I have another group there, but even though they were sent in same time, they haven't been finished yet. The more than a week difference concerns me a little. Jim
I'm with Leadfoot on the crack and resubmit once.....also, search Ebay for Matte proof, get the new book.....I did and cant wait for it to arrive
Harry, I have a 37P in a PCGS holder that is almost exactly the same color. But I am lucky enough to have the coin, so it might be bad Karma to complain about it :thumb: Jim
Love to see the reverse of that 3 legger. What do you think it grades at? The obverse looks very nice!
Here is the reverse Harry. I still have another one at PCGS, and I think it has a similar color. All of them were stored in the same holder. But still a nice looking coin in my opinion. Jim
