Give perfectly circulated coins some love!

Got any "Flawless circs" in your collection? This is not meant to be a showcase of barely touched AU64s but rather coins that actually did circulate, perhaps extensively, without getting noticeably dinged, scratched, nicked, bumped, cleaned, etc.

This is beyond what PCGS will grade or CAC will cac, to the realm of obsessing over finding a "perfect VF" in a certain series. It's a coin where if it was MS, it would rate 64 or higher judging by marks (obviously not judging by luster!). They are not often sold, because they are far rarer than than their associated premium over a "normal" CAC.

Here's one in the Bust Quarter series that is as close as I've got, although these pics are not the best. What've you got?

Probably never make a grade . I like it anyway.

markelman1125 · February 13, 2019 8:56AM

My capped bust 😊

Just picked up this one off of eBay on Sunday!

Nice coins all! Not totally sure if everyone read the OP, but I guess that’s what makes finding these such a challenge

Some great coins posted but remember any rim issues at all are disqualifying. As are any field marks beyond what would be acceptable at MS 63/64 level. We’re looking for “shouldn’t exist this nice” circs.

@brycem, @jedm, @dimeman, nice ones! And a couple from @mirabela as well. You guys know what I mean.

This one almost makes it... just a couple hard drops on the rim during it's lifetime.

I got a nice semi warm safe for that coin if you ever decide to part with it.

I think these are what you asked for:

Some great coins here, and a few that I see I sold. . Happy to see them being thoroughly enjoyed.

Meltdown · February 15, 2019 8:43AM

I liked this thread... didn't want to see it die.

I need to take better pictures of this coin. It is the nicest EF bust quarter I have been able to find. The Mark's on the coin are shadows from the holder

oldabeintx · February 15, 2019 12:38PM

Great thread. Tough to find these coins, particularly down into the 18th century, and more particularly old copper.

COCollector · February 15, 2019 1:40PM

Not an ordinary 1879-S Rev 78. Notice the broken r in trust ("tiust) and the open 9 in 1879.

I believe it's a VAM-6... an R5 (thousands). But I bet there are few in VF25.
