Two MS69 LA Quarters

itsnotjustme

I noticed 2 2002-P LA MS69 quarters have been graded. Sorry if this has already been posted.

It just occurred to me. Out of the dozen or so MS69 State quarters PCGS has certified, I've never seen a scan offered on any of them? I wonder why.
I'm sure the coins exist- no doubt, I just wonder if the appeal and alure would be shattered if one of these was actually seen via a photo or scan.

Have any of these been offered on Teletrade or E-Bay, or has it all been private transactions?

Who would want to post a scan? Board members would tear it to pieces. Remember the MS-69 Morgan posts?

I've never seen any of the 69's in a public auction. Note, with the OH and TN 69's, the 2002 total is the same as the 2001 total --- 4 each year. And then there's also a 99-P CT that I hadn't noticed before. Is it new also? I think I recall wondercoin saying that he had handled at least one of the NY 69's. Have you handled any of the others, Mitch? Are they all real?

The CT has been up there for a while, even after other problems were fixed. I think wondercoin has handled at least one of the New Yorks and either the NC or VT.

Will be interesting to see if these stay for a few weeks.

Seems like a LOT of 2002 68's so far. I think more 69's are likely

braddick

Is there a chance, ever, of a MS70?

Surely you jest!!!

itsnotjustme

A chance, yes, but I think it is extremely remote unless the coin is special handled from striking or PCGS' grading standards loosen.

Mitch probably won't tell us how many he has handled. I would like to see a picture of one though.

?? I think I recall wondercoin saying that he had handled at least one of the NY 69's. Have you handled any of the others, Mitch? Are they all real??

Pete: I handled the first (4) MS69 coins graded (basically all of the 2001 MS69 coins). The quality was fine on the coins and, in fact, to this day, I have seen only a handful of state quarters that also had a shot to make the MS69 grade in my opinion.

In general, there are MANY reasons to not post scans on coins. In the case of state quarters, imho, "pirating" serial numbers may be close to the top of the list.

Wondercoin.

braddick

How about a scan/photo of the COIN and not the HOLDER. That should eliminate any fears someone would steal the insert #.

braddick

Second suggestion: a small, white stripe over the insert numbers. I've seen that technic used on eBay auctions.

littlewicher

I concur with Braddick. Just hide the serial number, and you'll be fine. We just want to see these coins, that people are paying so much money for.

wondercoin

Pat: Excellent suggestions.

I expect some neat state quarters to appear as my Musuem of Coins on my wensite starts to take shape. Wondercoin.

I just happened to take a look at the message board tonight...

I just received back the Tennessee MS69. I put it on Ebay tonight, with scans, no reserve, and so on..

I will post a link and auction information.

I just noticed that Mitch is the current high bidder.

Ill be buying an ms69 for $99 10 years from now when they become common.
Just look in your mint sets, the quality is outstanding!
