I just searched 100 1999 SBA mint sets.

Not much to show for my troubles. Maybe 5 67 coins and 5 66 coins. Bleeech. mdwoods

You said it. All the ones I bought were mostly 63 and below. Kind of like the 68-72 Jeffs.

After looking at 100 of those dreadful things, don't you feel sick?

Actually, it was 100 from each mint. 200 coins total. Oh Susie B, your the girl for me!

A Susan B'???? my moves up in that set seems to be due more to attrition than getting the coins! lol!

I swear there was someone at the mint who's job it was to make sure that each Susan B. was stomped on!!!

Plus you find a lot with just tons of die polishing and don't forget those lousy planchets that resemble the surface of the moon.

I still love the Gal, though!

The boys all love Susie, they just don't want to admit it.

baccaruda

i like them better than the SACs.

Mark: It's one big poker game!

What folks don't appreciate is the TIME AND COST that goes into making great modern coins. Mark was "gunning" for a 1999(p) in MS68, which he will likely not pull this time. Mark spent around $600 to buy 200 SBA dollars from the US Mint. That is roughly $400 above face and a great deal of time lost on the first attempt to pull an MS68. Try doing that 5 or 10 times and it really hurts!!
