.... how are these MS68s adding up for you?
Cause I've got two more in one submission!
Also, there were advantages over the last time:
-coins did not come from Mac
-coins were Greek, (last time it was a Swiss franc) ,which is incredible as they're not exactly famous for their quality
-coins were submitted during a period well known for NGC's strictness
-coins did not even come from a roll (like last time,although I only learned that after)
They were a 1954 10L and a 1964 10L (the latter scarce in unc alltogether),
and although they were intended for resale, they are staying with me now.
(archive photo,not the actual coin)
There are a few simple rules of this game for anybody who might be interested:
coins must be pre-1969
coins must not come from mint sets,PL or proof sets,
or any package with a Mint provenance
coins cannot be proof
I'm now expanding my horizons for a 69

I know the Sweden is still on the way from NGC, but I'll look around for photos of the other two.
Total Copper Nutcase - African, British Ships, Channel Islands!!!

What's this, an MS68 contest....
Very nice, but LM might want that for his vest.....it's pre-drilled.
I'm still waiting for an MS/SP68 copper or bronze....man, PCGS is stingy.
Added: hey jamminj, that 5P blinded me....whoa!!
Well, I can't really compete with JJ, he's the king of 68s, but given the ratio of our submissions, (around 1/10)* ,I think I'm doing pretty well.
* or perhaps 1/50

Yes indeed, a copper, or bronze 68 would be something!
Actually Mac, I'd be more impressed with an MS rather than an SP68 copper. The rules {which I just made up

Thanks! It's lustrous enough that photographing it was difficult. I may try again with diffuse lighting.

I've had the same experience. Nothing higher than 67 on business strike copper or bronze coins.
I have six Swiss 67s to date, but I thought this was a "lock 68".......well, it is to me anyway!!

Time for new license plate, Marty?

There is no way I would be king of the 68s, I only have a few!!
