    Yah, it's truely the toughest cent from 1934-1958. I'm happy to have it. It hasnt done anything but go up the last two years. I can remember a couple of years ago, I passed up a couple of them at $100 each thinking, "Nah, I'll just wait for the pop to go up. It'll go down." A year later, I was thinking the same thing when they were hitting $200 each. Now, the market is somewhere between $300 and $400 depending on how nice. I'm really happy to have this one at that price. My bid was substantually higher. Sometimes you just get tired of waiting.

    I've went to no telling how many shows looking for a raw 54-P 66RD. Then I went to BU Rolls. Man, they just arnt out there. Out of eight rolls, I have about 14 that I pulled out in 64RD, and only two in 65RD. Most were all webbed out MS60-61.

    I bought one raw 54-P that I feel is a nice 66RD. Of all places, I got it at a flee market! I paid $45 for a 1954 date set just to get the cent. I gave the other coins to my wife and the cent is in an intercept 2x2 waiting to be submitted. Based on my last submission, however, it might be some substantual time before PCGS gets any more of my short-set coins.

    Gunk is always beating me to tough coins. He got his about six or eight months ago.

    Yeah, I knew I should have loaded up on those when they were $80 a pop. Hell, even David Green told me to start snagging those, 1909-P non-VDBs, and 1933s from both Philly and Denver en masse. Guess I should have listened more closely!

    Beautiful coin, congratulations! I'm also looking for a nice MS-66RED, but an easier date for my type set.

    I still don't have one. I have 6 65RD's that I made but could never get one to go 66RD. Its like getting a 57-D in 67, just too tough to do. Its easier to pick up cans on the side of the road and use that money to purchase one. I would love to see the 3 MS67-'s that were made recently. Andy made them and Stewart has one. I wonder where the other 2 went. 35-S in 66RD is actually tougher to make if you are going from rolls.

    Andy made mine.

    clackamas,

    Andy only made TWO MS67RD 1954s...the other one has been in the pop reports for quite some time. He also made quite a few 66s out of the same roll. I'm not certain, but I think that Gerry got the other 67.
