I finally located a nice 27-S. Granted it's only a MS64 non FB, but it gets me to 100%. What a battle to find. When upgrades appear, they'll be added.image JVoege

    John:

    "Its Only a 64 NB"

    This is a real tough coin even though its only a 64. The total PCGS population for 64/64FB and higher is 129 and you know this Pop report is screwy. The Fabled 16D has more certified. So IMO only a 64 is a Real Nice find. A under rated date that borders on the ridiculous price wise.

    A little hard to tell on toning.

    John,

    Congrats on reaching 100%. I just received my '27-s in 64, and I think I like yours better (wanna trade?image) There's a pic below, but I'm going to try to get a better one this weekend.

    I agree with Ken that it's an underrated date, which is why I jumped on this one. It's sheer luck that we could find 2 of them within a week.

    Good luck with your upgrades. Competition for those early dates is fierce. If you snooze, you lose.

    Nice grab, Jim. I'll wait to see how it looks in person. It is a hard to find date. The last one I saw was a 65FB for almost $9000. What did you pay for yours? Just curious. John

    Coin just got here. The picture they took was horrible. This baby is bright, shiny and just a touch of rim toning. I loupe it at 10X and it's almost flawless. Two or three tiny dings on liberty. Bands are weak. About 1/2 FB. I couldn't have asked for a sweeter coin in MS64. I'm now 100% and Mercury1 coins are also added. Big smile week!imageimage

    John was that 27S from Northern Nevada Coin ? I just bought a coin from them and I'll bet it will look ten times better than thier photo. The photo made it look real dull for the coin I bought. When you said you were looking for a 27S I completely forgot about these folks.

    Yep, That's where I got it. Very nice coin I think for the money.

    Congratulations John,

    You have made a major milestone. I can't believe how much progress you have made in just a few short months! You have obviously been hunting hard. I can only imagine the satisfaction of looking at a complete set that I own.

    I'm to the point that most of the coins I need, I can't afford. It will be real tough going from here on out. The first 75% took a year, the last 25% may take 3-4 years.

    Please remember me when you upgrade!

    Regards,

    Wayne
