Five of the Accented Hairs were pulled from the group of nine "unopened" sets that were all AH's, six of which were cameos that I posted about a while back. Cost me around $12 a set. The sixth was one I had in the box, and I'll be damned if I can remember where it came from. Can you say obscene profit?

The PR68CAM is a very pleasant surprise as I didn't expect any better than PR67CAM.

The regular that graded PR69 is a coin that I wouldn't normally submit because I only submit cameos for these. But, that one just looked so damned nice that I figured it for a lock 69 and wanted to see if I was right.

The Lincoln is a WILD ASS toner:

BTW, this is the first time ever I've had an all cameo Accented Hair submission. Usually PCGS gongs me on one or two just to keep me guessing.

Man, I LOVE this hobby!

obscene profit

WTG!!

gamr0n · March 28, 2005 8:14AM

Don't you have a website Russ?

And how do you tell if its accented hair? Shouldn't there be like 5 lines above the ear or something?

Did you try to fool them on this one by designating Accented hair?

This is an excellent example of how the "average" collector can still make a major score . Forget the classic vs. modern debate and the opened vs. unopened discussion, if you have patience, do a little homework, and have a little luck now & then (Russ had no real idea these were acct. hair, or ok maybe he did) some nice coins are still out there waiting for you. I would recommend proof sets from '56 to '63 and '65 to '70 as a starting point.

Very nice submission.

Joe

modern crap

Sphinx357 · March 28, 2005 8:33AM

that cent is pretty wild

MajorDuty · March 28, 2005 8:38AM

You suck! wtg, man.

jdp2 · March 28, 2005 8:42AM

I think Russ has pictures of the PCGS graders with a goat or something

Bochiman · March 28, 2005 8:43AM

I think I am going to submit Russ' resume to HRH for the photog position so I can get him out of Washington and down to California....he hogs all the good stuff locally as well as what you guys seem him grab on ebay!

fcloud · March 28, 2005 8:48AM

Russ, you better becareful. If you make to many you'll drive the prices down...

Really now, congrats, I wish I could make my submission shine like that.

I believe that merits a suckaroonie for Russ ... Now, I see why he has been so kind to homerun and PCGS in general, lately ... now, on to the hunt for the coveted brown nose JFK, he's looking for a darker milk spot in juuuussst the right spot, advise if you have one....

SanctionII · March 28, 2005 9:11AM

Cha-Ching is right. Kudos and Congrats Russ on the halves. When you receive them back from PCGS post a picture of them lined up in a row and show them off.

As far as the cent goes............................, funny I simply can not see any red or any brown at all. Perhaps for copper, the hobby should (led by the TPG's) demand a fourth designation, perhaps Rainbow or Neon.

RGL · March 28, 2005 9:41AM

Any heavily toned Linc is automatically targeted for RB, in most instances ...

mgoodm3 · March 28, 2005 9:44AM

nice submission.

Russ · March 28, 2005 9:53AM

Oh yeah, the best part of this one was that I got a "Holy ******* ****!!!" out of Marty when the grades posted.

"Our next puzzle is a phrase."

"Yes, Pat, are there any "F"s?

100proof1957 · March 28, 2005 11:15AM

Yes Joe there is one F !

Wanna buy a vowel ?

TheRock · March 28, 2005 11:22AM

Oustanding find and grade. Way better than that set you were looking at last night on the BAY. LOL Congradulations again buddy.

MrWarmaker · March 28, 2005 11:24AM

wtg, Russ... nice pickups. Now tell us, was it really a blind shot in the dark on those BIN's or did you know something? BTW, there is a new sign at the WA/OR border... it says Russ is not allowed to enter!

majorbigtime · March 28, 2005 11:32AM

Congratulations! What a score!

But remember "Higher populations soften modern values"!

Russ · March 28, 2005 11:35AM

<< Now tell us, was it really a blind shot in the dark on those BIN's or did you know something? >>

In this case, pure, friggin' luck! These "unopened" sets have been going for such stupid money that it'd been a while since I bought any. When the two groups, (one of five, and the other of four), showed up on eBay with BINs only a couple bucks per set higher than Greysheet I grabbed them.

Can you say obscene profit?

Why, that happens to be my favorite phrase!

tlhoy · March 28, 2005 11:40AM

I bet you were beginning to think the Nagus wouldn't show.

AgMe · March 28, 2005 11:17PM

Very nice Russ.

Rodius · March 28, 2005 11:39PM

Russ, Excellent job. I have a question about the accented hair. I bought 10 unopened set, which I opened looking for cameo Jeff's. My questions is what makes the difference between the accented hair and regular proof. Do you have pic's to share that show the difference? Thanks Rodius
