1799 BB-154 NGC AU53
One of the finest known. Terminal die state.
Has great color too, but not captured here with the DinoLite.
This is a difficult variety for the date.
It shouldn't be confused with the just scarce BB-168.
The condition census I have recorded, from observations is:
PCGS MS63 (Die State III) Terrell
PCGS AU58 (Die State III) Miller
NGC AU58 (Die State II)
PCGS AU(58) Details (Die State I)
PCGS AU55 CAC (No Longer Registered) Hesselgesser
NGC AU55 (Die State II)
NGC AU53 (Die State V) -- This Coin
PCGS AU53 (Die State IV) Miller
PCGS AU50 CAC (Die State IV)
PCGS AU50 (Die State I) Miller-Hagemeyer
PCGS AU50 (Die State III) (No Longer Registered)
Just won this one this morning. Looks like it could be high grade...
USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.
Not high-dollar stuff, but certainly not low-end junque, either.
The 1915 Buff is a 63. The 1883-O Morgan is a 64. There was also an MS66 War nickel. I traded two silver ancients for the three US coins. One of the ancients was slabbed and nice, the other was raw and rather “meh”.
I just purchased this Discovery and wanted to share it in this thread.
It is currently NOT FOR SALE.

Yesterday in “Saturday morning coffee with coins”, I analyzed an auction loss I had this past week for a 65 grade - this date. This piece is a nice one & more than $5k less than winning the 65. This grade was more of my target anyway.
My early Walker countdown is now 12/8. Of the 8 needed, only the 1920 is available. All the others are tough: 1918-S, 1919-D, 1919-S, 1920-D, 1920-S, 1921-D, 1921-S. It’s going to be a long road & already is a real challenge.
Pop 3/2. The 1894/1894 DD IHC is very popular even among non Indian collectors. With a total pop of 31 RD’s in all grades, it’s nearly impossible to find one with full RD color! I pretty much don’t collect RD IHC’s any longer, but had to make an exception for this one!

Saw this and it reminded me of the red dress scene from The Matrix.

I hope I'm not misremembering but I think it was an intentional choice so that estimating when a coin was graded would become impossible.
Covering their tracks eh?

I hope I'm not misremembering but I think it was an intentional choice so that estimating when a coin was graded would become impossible.
And trying to figure out what was in a submission would be impossible with random certification numbers.
Bought from a Forum member, #8 of the 13... 1892 CC Ole West!
Seller's pics. Looks like nice toning and very clean. I hope to submit it at some point and get a MS66. If I do then it was a really good deal.
