1979-S Type 2 Proof Set Results

relayer

I had a 1979 type 2 proof set that had an outstanding quarter and SBA.

It's always a dilemma whether to try for a 70 at PCGS. You have to hope it catches their eye so at least they’ll look at it under a loupe instead of declaring it a 69 in 5 seconds.

I sent the quarter to PCGS (still waiting for results) and the SBA and the rest to NGC (on May 6th). They didn't think much of the cent, but the SBA came back PF70UCAM

At NGC there are (now) 553 graded and it’s a pop 5 coin (0.9% of total)
At PCGS there are 1653 graded with 44 70DCAM’s (2.6% of total)

When you get a 70 back from NGC you have to wonder it would have come back a 70 at PCGS. In this case it would have been nice if NGC didn't allow those loosely graded PCGS SBA's into their registry.

Oh well, I’ll just be happy with my 70 at NGC instead of a 69 at PCGS.

The pop 5 makes it nice.

Such is life in the universe of modern plastic.

Congratulations. I've never gotten a 70. Kind of like a hole in one.

Congrats on the 70 relayer. I too, have some proof sets from that year and back. Even some with the Ike proofs. I was looking them over today. However, money for the submission fees hinders me from sending them in for grading. The S.B.A. and the Ike appear to be 69s at PCGS and a possible 70 at NGC. The Wash quarters look like they have a shot too. Again, congrats!

Congratz on the 70
I will just keep trying
Never got a 70 but I did get a Hole-in one
