Re: Clad Proof Sets
I got a proof Ike dollar playing blackjack in Tahoe many years ago. It's the only proof coin I've ever found in circulation.
I'm sure that's an argument that supports... something.
Re: Clad Proof Sets
I can't count the number of proof coins I've found in circulation over the years including a 1968 nickel worn down to VG. I just got my first S mint BU quarter the other day; a nice AU+ Denali (2012) the other day.
The demand just keeps growing despite the coin hobby.
Re: New not-PCGS counterfeits; new to me...
yea these are definitely concerning, but at least our hosts recently implemented a new security feature where the plastic is now more brittle, and the slabs seem to spiderweb fracture for no apparent reason soon after encapsulation. Should help us out moving forward....

Re: STRANGE GRADES....NGC PF53 + (3) PCGS PR58 Proofs - $35 all
Probably lightly circulated proofs submitted , I break proof sets up all the time, and take the change to the bank. Once in a while, somebody will come into shop and say they found this or that proof coin, and its been circulated, often its the ones I deposited across the street at the bank I use. Many folks , especially new to the hobby, cant differentiate a circ proof from a non circ proof.

Saw this on Great Collections early in the week and put it on watch list. It’s right up my alley and I didn’t yet have a coin of this type.Yesterday after a very long day I closed up my business and got in my truck. Saw that this coin was $220 with about 2 hours left. Bid $377……or so I thought.
Then I got home and checked about 10 minutes before close. Then had to do a double take……then a triple take. Somehow, someway I had bid $37,700.
If the underbidder on this coin is out there…..Thank you for stopping at $469
Not my finest hour as a user of my phone or the internet in general. (Never bid and drive, folks.). Still happy to win it and expand my type set beyond the 7070 requirements.

Nice Seated 25c! What a story!
