Hey Russ, look what I found!!!

MadMarty

Just got back from a business trip, and was going through the mail. Got some proof sets in and opened them up. Look what I found.



I know it's only an accent hair, but it's the first I have found in a sealed proof set. The first difference I noticed was the color of the envelope. It was the same color as the 63 proof set. A darker color than the other 64s I have. Have you noticed that on the AHs you have found???

Thanks
Marty

Marty, I noticed on the one 1964 Proof set I found with an AH half definitely looked different than the others I have without the AH half. That seems like a pretty good diagnostic feature.

MadMarty

Not the coin, but the envelope! It was darker than the other 1964 envelopes.

LanLord

Agree, envelope is different with my AH versus the non AH.

Nice snag, Marty!

Even through the plastic, that puppy is going to be a nice coin!
so - you're just going to send it out to me right? Russ already has too many.

MadMarty

Actually the last batch I snagged 2 AHs, 3 CAM/DCAM Nickels, 5 CAM/.DCAM Lincolns and 5 CAM/DCAM Quarters. Time for another PCGS order...

Oh, and for Lucy, a nice 1963 Franklin CAM/DCAM!!!

Marty,

Out of about 250 "unopened" proof sets, I've found a grand total of four Accented Hairs. One was in a batch of 20, the other three were in a batch of three. I've gotten most of my AH's (I have 29 now) from opened sets where the dealer posted a scan, or was selling pointed nine dime sets, but didn't know what he had.
