I finally found a PCGS AU55 1858LL. I paid nearly MS money for it but figured it was easier to pay that then to try and "make" one.

Surprisingly (as BigD and I discussed briefly) EF and AU are pretty hard to come by in PCGS holders even though they are 1-200.00 coins!

    Congrats, goose3! Where did you find it and how?

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Congratulations Goose3,

    Its always nice to find that long sought after missing coin.image

    When you decide to upgrade that 56 Flyer, let me know and I'll try to upgrade to it and throw my 56 Flyer (copy) away image (Ooops, some deep, dark secrets thould NEVER be revealed!).imageimageimage

    Anyway - GREAT SET! Looking forward to seeing the new arrival.

    I got it on sleazebay of all places from a dealer that I used to buy from occasionally.

    I made him an offer and he took it!

    I'll add the pic to the registry when she arrives.

    It's a nice color, just like my SL version.

    Pushkin,
    I missed out not too long ago on a Snow3 '56 in PCGS XF45!!! I was a day late on that one or mine would have been for sale!

    I remember seeing your want ad when I joined in January. I am glad you finally found it. I have looked around for it a few times myself and never did see one. Congrats. Mark

    Puskin, your quote from Andrew Jackson is an eerie reminder of what is taking place today.

    Congrats on the 58LL and the last piece of the puzzle Goose! Guess I won't be looking for one at Long Beach after all. As mentioned, you don't realize how tough it is to find nice AU FEs until you start looking for them. Especially ones that fit your standards. Those are some remarkably clean circulated examples you've uncovered -- I always love looking at that 1856.

    Good job Goose
    I'm sure your proud of them, i would be.
    Hey how have you been it's been a while sence I've been on here..
  • Dave99BDave99B Posts: 8,529 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Goose - I really love them all, but the color of the 1858/7 is OUTSTANDING! I want it!

    Good job! Too bad the F.E. series didn't continue for 30 or 40 years. F.E.'s are just flat lovely.
