TahoeDale

The PCGS pop reports show 3 coins graded in MS 66 for the 1886 and 1896 dates. And 8 for the 1912-S.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of the any of the above coins, I am a serious buyer. I will pay between 10,000 and 20,000 for any of the dates in 66, properly graded.

I can find no auction records for sales of the above dates in the listed grades. I own a 12-S in 66, but have not viewed or heard of the 86 or 96 in the requested grade.

Please PM me with any info you have, and I will respond asap. If there are any buyers of the following dates in the listed grades, PM with an offer(sight seen, of course). All are PCGS, except as noted.

1884 MS 65
1887 MS 66
1888 MS 66-ngc
1889 MS 67-ngc
1890 MS 65
1892 MS 65
1897 MS 65
1898 MS 66-ngc
1904 MS 66
1906 MS 65
1912 MS 65

Dbldie 55,

Have you ever seen an 1896 in 66? I have viewed 2 1895's in this grade, but no 1896's. Carnton owns an 1886 in 66, that is supposedly a near 67. Howe has a 12-S in 66.

I will try to keep this thread alive til we get some affirmative response.

The first 1896 in 66 (when the pop was 1) was on ebay a few years ago with a BIN of ~$3,000. I should have "found" the money for that one. Since then one more has been made (between March 15 and April 15 of 2004)
