Post pics: non-proof/non-commemorative MS69s!

Here's a tough pic request...

Show me your MS69s! No proof, SMS, commemoratives, bullion, etc.

Here's my only one:

cdwegner

none?

mgoodm3

Nope.

cdwegner

well, that's no fun.

Hey, you ruled out almost everything that could get a grade of MS69....Ken..

This thread is already longer than could be predicted. Other than a few modern
cents, some ultra modern cents, and some states quarters I don't believe there
are any MS-69's.

The late '80's to date cents can be spectacular sometimes. These would make an
interesting short set in MS-68 or MS-69.

cdwegner

Ken,

That was the point.

I still thought that some of the playa's here would have some MS69s.

nice try Russ.

I think he probably meant real MS69s.

sorry, but that was my first thought, too. It's a nice coin, but IMO a 69 should have full bands and full luster or light toning; imo that toning is too heavy for MS69 in that series.

in fact, interesting that the other "ms69" shown is a whole 1 year old.

edit, oh, and by the way, the cent a nice coin, too

This wasn't meant to be a debate regarding NGC MS69 vs. PCGS MS69.

My cent is NGC, obviously.

Doh! I was just at my safety deposit box this morning and left my PCGS MS-69, 2001 $5 Gold Eagle in the box since it is too hard to get a good photo without a macro lens. Funny thing about this particular coin is that I received it after answering a Mobil credit card offer for the coin. At the time I was totally ignorant of coinage and had no idea it was so small. Anyways, when raw coin came in I put it away in a drawer then last year i submitted it as one of my free submissions and was shocked to see it come back at MS-69.

Does this one count?

This is a tough one.

ok ok, I didn't see the "bullion" in your title. I'll now go out into the garage, turn on the car and inhale carbon monoxide to amend for my sins.

Original toning, whether it be light, medium or heavy will not preclude a coin from grading MS68, MS69, or even MS70 regardless of series. Nor does a coin have to have FB, FH, full red, or any other designation to grade MS69, or any other MS grade.

That's a beautiful Roosie.

Did I just say that?!?!
