Not sure if there are any 70 or 70pl but this is 2 grades higher than any I have 67PL is it. Fdoi and 69pl fairly upper crust for me 😁
And the price was definitely a cherry pick. I have 67PL that I paid a lot more for 🙀

How about this! Manual last second bid (no sniper program just arthritic 70 year old fingers) and did very well indeed 😁
What you guys think. Stretched the budget but had a feeling I could grab this one as the highest bidder was fairly new (54 purchases) and confident in the early hour and had a higher bid ready, but my largest stretch was a couple bucks more. I win.
I have one too!
Mine has a lower number, 69 of 440.
Beautiful coin!
Maybe we should start a thread on these?
Nice Joey. Do you have the rest of the set? The one I sniped was posted with the dollar coin and the reverse proof in different listings but very close ending times. I watched the Rpf go for $40 and the dollar went for $39.90 ish. Both in FR 70. The proof is usually the tricky one to get at a bargain. But $31 is really an amazing price.
Kinda cool that we have coins from the same numerical series. Little jealous yours is a lower number 😁

Too bad PCGS doesn't recognize this variety
I’m sure PCGS would label it as “improperly annealed” or something similar if submitted under the error tier. Calling it a “black beauty” is just a gimmick. And I would add that calling it an “improper alloy mix”, as ANACS has done, is misleading, as it would imply an incorrect alloy prior to rolling/blanking, whereas this nickel likely had a properly “mixed” alloy at that stage of production.
A nice circulated commemorative I picked up the other day at a coin show

I generally have not bought 1797 Bust dollars as I feel it is a relatively overpriced date. But there are only 3 die pairs and now I am only missing one of them.

got a couple new goodies this weekend but for now I just share this pretty
Once again "details" i can live with.
Darn nice for a cleaned coin. Not sure if I see it.
It's in hand now and I can't see why they called it cleaned... no hairlines just some mushed denticles on the obverse that might have detailed it but i would think corrosion or env dmg not cleaning Either way is a beautiful half cent well worth what i paid out
Thank you, alefzero. I did figure that out eventually, but I was having a difficult time seeing the reverse diagnostics. I eventually went through all of the dozens of VAMs and determined that it didn't matter much and that it must be the VAM 6. Also, I am not aware that this carries any premium. Do you know if it does? Thanks again.

It should carry a premium. The DDO die was paired with other reverses, this being the first identified and the most common. But a nicely presenting PCGS MS65 gem should be a premium coin. I have had a few in that grade and a PCGS MS66. Not sure what the pops are for that variety presently, but if it is still condition census, there are registry players who likely would pay up some for it.
I looked at the SSDC Registry and there is a 66+, three 66, and nine in 65. Assuredly there are more than that many working on competitive Top 100 VAM sets.
