    The middle coin sorta lights my fire.

    Looks like great luster. The one I like next is

    the third coin in the listing.
    There once was a place called
    Camelotimage
  • I agree with Mr. Bear. The second and third are very nice.image

    I agree with the little bear with the funny balloons. I'd be busting those holders open really fast. Even if the coins aren't OK for whatever reason, ANACS or NCS would still holder them. They look alright in the pics though.

    I feel the NTC and PCI are AU coins and the NGC may upgrade to MS?? Thanks, Lee

    The '27 is probably a 58 which might or might not gather a MS grade at either major TGP, however, it probably will bodybag for cleaning.
    Same with Numistrust '32. That said, I like both coins.

    The NGC '32 looks to be properly graded. What you called a die clash is actually a heavy die crack which is diagostic for the Large Letter reverse.

    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    "The '27 is probably a 58 which might or might not gather a MS grade at either major TGP, however, it probably will bodybag for cleaning."

    I agree that the 27 is not properly graded (I even question if it would go 58 in a top tier slab as it appears Waaayyyyy over-dipped).

    I had a 1827 square base 2 that went into a PCGS at 58 which was much more eye appealing than the PCI 63 above but I sold it to Laura (maybe she can post a pic?).
