    Curious what John Albanese at CAC will say. Funny that I love them even more now that PCGS graced them with those big grades. I think they were rewarded for their originality. But as you can see, PCGS didn't catch the order in time to fix the varieties on the JR-9's. So before they go to CAC, the first two have to go back to PCGS.

    Made a video showing the 5 coins I had certified from this collection. I do not apologize for my heavy Southwest Virginia country boy accent. :bucktooth:

    Update on these. PCGS failed to catch the order in time to correct the variety attribution for the first two dimes, which both graded MS65+, but I decided to have them regraded while they were there and both upgraded to MS66. So, all three dimes are now MS66's. :eek:

    I finally remembered the 6th coin I had bought from this collection. I forgot about it because it was in a PCGS order that got stuck for almost 2 months for some reason. But it finally cleared and graded today. MS62!
