A couple of attractive ladies came to visit me today...

Dear Penthouse, I never thought anything like this would happen to me... image



Neither lady is particularly earth-shattering gradewise, but I like their skin tone, along with the firm yet supple... *ahem*

Comparing with NGC and PCGS examples @ Teletrade, the grades appear to be right on the money.

    I like the 1930-S the best out of both of them.

    Yeah, these are the first ones I own of the type as well. I do find that attractive toning or character will draw me to types that I don't otherwise normally collect...

    Nice coins for the grades. Might have expected ICG to grade them higher.

    << <i>That 29 s is a very nice coin.....don't see head detail like that alot with the branch mint slq's late in the series. >>



    "AU58 FH" image

    Funny thing is, as I was perusing Teletrade and Heritage in order to check pricing when making my offer, I see that both NGC and PCGS have given "FH" designations to AU SLQs. Either this particular coin wasn't considered deserving of such a designation, or perhaps ICG doesn't do FH on AU pieces. Looking at the images though, my 29-S easily has as much head details as those garnering FH, at least compared to the ones I looked at...



    << <i>Nice coins for the grades. Might have expected ICG to grade them higher. >>



    I know that ICG gets a bad rep, but on circulated grades through MS63 or so, I find them to be solid. Then again, I don't collect modern material, which is where the majority of the discussion and the specula.... err, "collecting" of U.S. material seems to be these days. On world coins, ICG is as consistent as NGC, which isn't saying much, although a coin with potential minor problems is likely to be net graded by ICG as opposed to bodybagged by NGC.
