Hey, It's Friday, Post some Dreck!

Second in the series,
I really like the Bicentennial issues, I was a budding numismatic in 75/76. I searched my change, (even to this day) for the quarters, finding a half dollar at that time for me was almost imposible...

    AU 58 & Anacs....dreck! :D

    Is that blue peripheral toning on the obverse? I bet it really pops in hand. I like it.

    It's a sliver of color; the luster is nice too. I like it too!

    I think some people don’t know what dreck is...

    Nice to see some great coins snuck in here though...

    I think they are using Specialist's definition (basically almost everything non PCGS/CAC).

    And a certain well known dealers example was only an au50, his was possibly the finest known....but then you are the experts with these.

    That 50 used to be mine too. I owned it when it was raw. Side by side, I judged it to be inferior to mine (luster, wear), so sold it to a fellow collector. Not finest though, since there is a 58 in Tennessee

    no sticker. I know CAC evaluators are quite knowledgeable with all types of coins, but would they know that every single 1837 LM-2 and (especially) LM-3 comes struck so poorly that they tend to look like VFs, even when possessing the luster of an AU? I was surprised PCGS graded it 45. They almost got it right

    @Barndog The sticker comment was made tongue in cheek.

    Things you see over and over and over again that don't belong in a dealers case every week wishing and hoping that they sell. Like a V nickel with a plus + attached to it that doesn't get a "gold bean" or a quarter that got swallowed and five nickels came out or old Ike dollars with no silver content..........

    If it gets me excited, it's porn. If not, it's dreck :#

    edited to add: Actually, it's just, as George Carlin would say. "stuff". Though there is some pretty "stuff" around :)
