<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7839874, member: 105098&quot;]from my experience with it, even the 1975 sets are still looking for a needle in a haystack, you might find a well struck drum but it&#039;s lacking somewhere else like the shoulder, or the hat area. you are probably right though, there&#039;s got to be that 5% or so that worked out, first strikes off die pairs, with a strong full strike. I&#039;ve just never come across one, P or D and only seen pictures of them, easy enough to find the proof with a strong strike though. but the P+D, I&#039;ve been close, just not as close as I want to be.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS images Doesn&#039;t have a P with a full sharp strike even at MS67, Denver does have some in MS67 or 68, but even then it&#039;s few.</p><p><br /></p><p>this guy here is an absolute stunner, but lacking on the drum rim,&nbsp; and he&#039;s a MS68.</p><p><a href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/41427266" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/41427266" rel="nofollow">41427266</a></p><p><br /></p><p>this MS67 has the drum I&#039;m looking for, but missing the depth of strike separation for like Washingtons ponytail, or the torch flame. it&#039;s minor, but it&#039;s why it&#039;s not higher than MS67.</p><p><a href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/40297772" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/40297772" rel="nofollow">40297772</a></p><p>&nbsp;the Philly&#039;s are even worse. </p><p><br /></p><p>you&#039;d think there has to be &quot;the total package&quot; out there somewhere. I&#039;ve never seen it though., like the top pop coins, all have the room for improvement factor, that if it just had this or that it would be a 69 even. these top pop coins are the decades of &quot;cherry picking&quot; and it&#039;s the best there really is I suppose. But I keep dreaming out there, it&#039;s hiding in a mint set in a closet waiting for someone to die to go to a coin shop and hopefully then they realize how special it is, or take it out of the package, and stick it in the register...Hahahaha boohoo hoo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
