WOWSIER IS DAT NICE CAMEOS I SEE?

Russ · January 24, 2003 3:20AM

Bill,

Yep, that's what you're seeing. At least CAMS, may be DCAMs. The sets are on the way right now. With that much contrast showing through the celo, and with the concave nature of the bust - which when scanned straight on creates what look like frost breaks - I have high hopes for these pups.

Ohh Ahh, you got a great eye for those 64 sets, by looking at the pic it almost looks like a wishbone above his ear?? Man some people get all the luck

Russ · January 24, 2003 3:34AM

Yep, it's a pair of "wishbones".

As far as Russ and 64 sets go... I don't think "luck" has much to do with it.

They look nice. Why did you send them in the cello?

Russ · January 24, 2003 4:29AM

Don,

They're not on the way to PCGS, they're on the way to me. Just scored them today.

Who's your postman. I'd like to discuss an opportunity with him.

baccaruda · January 24, 2003 6:34AM

yeah those nickels are great.

Russ · January 24, 2003 6:36AM

Hey Baccaruda,

I was thinking of you when I picked off this batch of Jeffersons.

baccaruda · January 24, 2003 6:38AM

lol i checked that auction but didn't bid. i'm trying to get some SMSs right now.

are you moving in on my turf?

ClarkOfKent · January 24, 2003 6:43AM

Russ,

Those pics are a bit small. Could you send those to me for a closeup inspection?

Russ · January 24, 2003 6:58AM

<< <i>are you moving in on my turf? >>

baccaruda,

Nah. It had been a couple hours or so since I'd sniped anything, so I was starting to get withdawal symptoms. The auction was a cheap, handy fix.

Russ, NCNE

baccaruda · January 24, 2003 9:08AM

good. the last thing i want is another sniper looking at the same coins as me. you with your laser-sighted AWP and me with my 56k musket. plus you have the nasty habit of making everyone else collect what you do. before you got here there was maybe 2 kennedy threads a month on this board. now i own rolls of the darn things.

jeffersons are just the unfortunate by-product of yanking the kennedy proof from the '64 set. remember i'm always here to dispose of them for you.

Placid · January 24, 2003 9:15AM

Where are the pictures of the reverse?

coppercoins · January 24, 2003 9:26AM

Russ - If you (or anyone else for that matter) are busting proof sets to get at certain coins (not the cent), I would like to have a shot at taking the cents off your hands - non-cameo, spotted, toned, whatever - doesn't matter. I'm in it for an entirely different reason.

cladking · January 24, 2003 2:00PM

Very nice halfs! I'm guessing these sets came from the same source? They appear to be sisters.

Russ · January 25, 2003 2:14AM

Cladking,

Yep, they're coming from the same source. Non-coin guy who's selling off his Father-In-Law's small accumulation. There's also a 1962 and 1963 set in the group. Had to also buy those to get the two '64 sets. I'll probably just throw the two butt ugly halves from the earlier sets in the dumpster.

When you hear the rumblings of dual pipes and when you look out your window and see a red 55 BelAir, I suggest you hide buddy!

Russ · January 25, 2003 2:25AM

HMM...took 4 minutes. Radar must need calibration.
