Among the coins I submitted through ajaan, there was a bunch for PCGS, the ones intended for my own collection. As you all know, you can get a fantastic photo of your submitted coins for only $5 extra. Here they are (edited:grades added on 1/23)



Egypt 5 quirsh gold 1861, Cairo mint, purchased from Civitas/PCGS MS65



Great Britain 1901 gold half sovereign, the replacement of the Terner coin I used to own./PCGS MS63



Switzerland 1912 one franc, toned choice unc./PCGS MS65



Switzerland 1916 one franc, formerly NGC MS65/PCGS MS65



Switzerland 1936B one franc, formerly NGC MS65, an ex MadMarty coin,a very tough coin to photograph./PCGS MS65



Switzerland 1966 one franc from my now infamous roll, I thought I'd keep one for my one franc set too./PCGS MS67



Switzerland 1938 specimen 2 rappen, close to full red./PCGS SP66RD



Switzerland 1937 specimen 2 rappen ,close to full red./PCGS SP66RD



And finally, Switzerland 20 rappen, a coin needed for completion of the PCGS type set, the only reason why it was slabbed./PCGS MS66

BTW, JJ is auctiuoning a very nice 1950 20 rp in NGC MS67 if anyone is interested, otherwise I'll take that too.

That '01 Vic looks nice. Good luck with the grade.

Those toned 1 francs could use a nice dip.

Nice PL surfaces on that '66, too.

Those 2 raps look nice too. I'd bet the '38 goes SP66RD, and the '37 might make a SP65RB, maybe RD.

And, my O my, those Swiss nickels sure look nice.

SYRACUSIAN

Mac, the 01 cost me a whopping $56 incl. shipment, how could I resist it?


As for the specimens, you seem to know them very well.


Needless to say that the 20 rp was a Mac gift, and Mac gifts usually grade very high when I'm submitting them.

Must be that Athenian air they've been subjected to.

56 bucks!!!

The 1938 2 rappen is stunning, but I always have been a sucker for red coins!

Does it really look like that?

Nice coins, the 1966 1Fr, looks familiar, like I have a twin or something

Very nice, Dimitri -- you've really gotten into those Swiss coins!

Good idea -- I'll have to try that.

Nice set of coins!

SYRACUSIAN

Thanks for the nice comments, I will seriously consider adding this prestigious I-suck award to my sigline.

Those are such beauties. I have two of 'em, now.

What did that one grade?

wybrit

I would concur with danglen, oldshep and cosmicdebris, but in the nicest possible way.

DH does some nice work there.

SYRACUSIAN

He does indeed. Shameless ttt for those who missed this, some truly nice coins in the first post, dedicated to those who feel saturated from the hobby. Only a year ago, I was trapped into a full Greek set and hadn't started Switzerland yet.

JZrarities

Love the three Swiss... Absolutely stunning.

Nice grades. I still think the 1/2 Sov is nicer than MS63.

Great grades and it is hard to get above a 65 at PCGS now and both of the rappen went red. It is also hard to get a red out of them3Mark

Phil had actually photographed it last December too, raw. Here's his photo back then:



And here's the photo of the Terner MS64 coin, but through the PCGS slab which was the one giving him the most trouble as I recall.

SYRACUSIAN

Sorry Larry, I hadn't seen your post. I told Mac that his red rappen specimens have better luck when I'm submitting them, but he won't listen.So I buy them instead.

ajaan

It is a testament to Phil's talent/ability that both of his images of the 1901 1/2 Sovereign look pretty much the same. Both are fantastic.

Yeah, you're messing up the POP Reports.
