    Well Ken, I think its a pretty good strike except around the hair, the reverse has a great strike, to bad its not a FB. I'll give it a 63 because its easy to dance to.

    Ken,

    By the image, I would agree with Walt.

    Izzy, I take it you listen to Mr. Brockett on occasion? Boy, that really takes me back! Same as S.A's IQ, right?!

    Ken, building a roll?

    Ken:

    I am currently staring at my 25-P and thinking "Go Ken go--buy up every 25-P you can find and make my coin scarce!!!" ( image )

    No, a bit more seriously, nice coin. It's clearly not a FB, but there are no apparent hits and the toning looks nice. You probably already mentioned this, but why do you have such a thing for 25-P's? I was able to rationalize purchase of my one coin with my wife because her father was born in 1925, so I got the coin as a tribute to him. But you'd need to have a lot of wives, all of whom had father's with the same birth year to use the same explanation for your purchases. image So, why are you so intrigued by 25-P's?

    Mark

    P.S.: I think your comments about 25-P's also played a role in why I pushed to buy my coin. You are having an impact you probably never knew you had!

    Mark you know I really do not know. It did take a long time to find one that really pleased me. I guess that is the basic reason. The other thing that enters in is that I really think it is under rated. OK I know a collector is not suppose to think of the money factor but heck some day I will need some cash for a 16D.

    Outside of those two things 1925 has no significant reason for being a date I like. My folks were born in the early teens, brother in the late thirites, cars I like are in the sixties so maybe it just might bring back the thought of how it might have been in the Free Wheeling and Roaring Twenties. Probably a much more relaxed and enjoyable time than we are going through right now.

    Ken,

    The '25-P looks pretty good to me. Provided there's no rub, it could go MS64, IMO. I like the date because it's one of the more difficult "P" mint Mercs, and it's the year my mom was born. I also like the '31-P as an underrated date in NB. I see it far less often than the '31-D.

    Cesear (SP?) ran into Deep Poo Poo on this date. Man I'm not moving from this chair untill 12 Midnight. image

    Very good, Ken. You picked up on the "Ides of March" reference.

    Yeah, it was Big Julie (Caesar) that was killed on this date in 44 BC. In Shakespeare's play, the soothsayer warned him to "beware the Ides of March".

    I'm afraid that I also remember when Bandstand came from Philly, but I'm nowhere near as old as some of you guys.imageimageimage

    Awe Shucks. Are you sure Jon ? I know you have a eye for these things. Probably will have it early next week and I will give a Official unbias opinion.

    Looks like wear on the hair and wing. And circulation chatter in the fields. But it is hard to tell for sure from a pic. Hope you didn't pay more than au money for it.

    Crap I'm going to get killed on this one. Hope this does not end up like the 20P I just sold on Ebay for 55 cents. Of course my description of that coin probably Scared everyone off. It was the Truth though. Only lost 6 Bucks on that coin. This Trend Must Stop.

    Sorry, I must agree as well. Pics can deceive. But not better than MS-62 in any possible way.

    I would need the coin under my scope for a grade, but a darn nice example on the reverse, obverse is weak.
