My first "Made" coin - finally in my possession

DanC

OK, I guess I'm not a virgin anymore. Here's my very first submission to PCGS.

Many thanks to Russ for his assistance in harshly cleaning, artifically toning, and otherwise getting it done.

shouldn't it be in its holder and not your HAND?

Does it count as your submission if somebody else sent it in? Who cares, nice coin and welcome to the world of slabs.

Apologies, was this coin harshly cleaned and artificially toned and then sent in to get this grade?-----------------------------BigE

DanC,

Well, if you had to lose your virginity, at least you did it with a coin that will still respect you in the morning! It sure is a beauty!

BigE,

I'm pretty sure he was kidding about the harsh cleaning and AT.

Clark

DanC

Thanks Cameron... I'm actually about 58% through my first registry set. This is just the first submission.

BigE -

I was kidding. It was hazed, and Russ was kind enough to dip it for me.

edit: You posted at almost the same instant Clark.
Thanks - I'm actually thrilled with the outcome. It came in one grade higher than anticipated.

BigE

Oh, thank god, I was just about to put the car buffer to some of my proofs before I sent them in. It takes a while to re-adjust to the grading services when you have been gone for a while------------------------------------BigE

Very nice. I am gaining a lot of respect for the AH Kennedy. And I'll cure Russ' name for all eternety because of that.

Just wait until the fingerprint shows through!

heheh... thanks ursa. I'm just glad I didn't have to BID against you for it!

We WILL clash again.

Great coin, Dan ... wish I could make one like that. But, I did make a 1965 SMS MS-66 CAM Kennedy I feel pretty good about ... That Russ is the King o' the Dippers, apparently. Way to go!

Russ

RGL,

When are you going to sell me that coin? I need it bad!

Russ, NCNE

Blade

Russ,
Come on, buddy. You need that like a hole in the head. I saw your thread yesterday about having 20 AH's and I KNOW several are nice CAMs. Are you trying to corner the market? Someone at one time possessed 70% of all 1856 Flying Eagle cents. How many AH's are out there?

Cam40

I asked that very thing here awhile back.

RGL

Russ:

I know you have SMS 1965 MS-67 CAM JFKs in both your sets ... what do you need with this trifling coin? Geeesh, can't a guy enjoy a "hit" on a series he knows little about?

DanC

RGL -

we're ANXIOUSLY awaiting the results of the latest submission. I scored an absolutely stunning '66 SMS. It was the one with the "business card mirrors" -

Crossed fingers for MS65 or 66 DCAM - but will probably go 65CAM.

michael

the eye appeal is nothnig short of fantastic wow!!!!! congradulations and hope to see you on here again with another coin photo

do you do your own? you do a great job!!!!!

sincerely michael

DanC

Thanks Michael

Yes, I do. With my $109 Ricoh RDC-4300
That one is tough to photograph though. There's really no cameo contrast. This... on the other hand -

Russ

RGL,

The '65 in set #2 is only a lowly MS67 no CAM. The '66 and '67 in set #2 are both 66CAM. They would be much happier if they're older brother were also a 66CAM.

Russ, NCNE
