1974-D PCGS MS66FB POP = (5/1) or,
1974-D PCGS MS68 POP = (2/0)

Both weigh the same.

    ms68. I'd take that over an ms67fb easily. By the way, if you ever sell yours Stooge, please let me know! Thanks for opening up your set by the way. You have some awesome coins!!!

    I admit I have the 66FB, and I'm a FB lover. But if I had a 74-D in 68 I would also be happy. Like Rick, I would love to have a 100% fb set, so I guess I'll go the 66FB, but only for that reason. I admit I own some 68 non bands, but did sell some off a while back. I also have a few from the 60's / 70's that should make 68.
    Once my set is finished, I'll be submitting those for sure. With the exception of the 67's, I'm tired of spending money trying to get MS grades on the 65/66/67 clads.

    Take a look at the total pops and your question becomes answered. Total MS graded 143. Total MSFB graded 16.
    You know your not getting the 67FB since its in JHF's set. The 66FB will always be valued higher then the 68. If
    you get the opportunity to trade out of the 68 for the 66FB jump on it.....and NO I will not trade your 68 for my
    66FB......image

    MS68 NO BANDS anyday! In a heartbeat!

    What would someone be willing to pay for the 1974-D MS68 pop 2/0?
  • LincolnsRuleLincolnsRule Posts: 1,738
    If you caught me at a time when I had plenty of money, I would want to make the highest offer for an ms68 74-d. I need to do a bit more research first, make sure I don't offer way too much image (Actually, I've never owned a roll of 74-d. I would like to see some rolls myself too before purchasing such).

    I laughed out load on this statement! Nick are you a Gypsy with a magic ball, or a telepathic mindreader from Startrek? You did boldly go where no man has gone before!

    LR, The PCGS price guide values the coin at $750. I bet Paul would take a lot less then that
    for it.

    Anyone interested in a 3 way deal?

    I will sell my '74-D MS68 for what Nick is asking for his '74-D MS66FB, $235. All they have to do is sendthe $$$ to Nick, he will send me the 6FB and I will send my 68 to the buyer.

    I will pay for ALL shipping to you, and Nick. Everyone wins!

    Ya can't lose! image

    The 74D is on ebay and closes in less then 24 hours. If someone else bids on it then its gone,
    and who knows when another will become available. If a deal is going to be cut it better be
    quick.
  • Dan50Dan50 Posts: 1,816 ✭✭✭
    Sounds like a great deal for SOMEONE who likes non banded over FB's. Buy your coin on ebay for $200 +, then trade for a coin that lists for $700.
    I myself think the chances of another MS68 coming along would be better than another 66/67 in FB. As the bands in the 70's tend to be flat even when going all the way across.

    I wouldnt pay by pops with coins of those dates.
    Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
  • LincolnsRuleLincolnsRule Posts: 1,738
    Yes! I'll buy the ms68 for that price.

    To show how rare MS 68 Coins are for the ten year 70's decade Total= 13
    Flipside is how many MS68 FB's during this period = 0
    Next how many MS 67 FB's = 28
    And now for the 66FB's = 98
    The only thing this tells us for sure, is that near mark free coins are very hard to come by for this 10 year period.
    That near mark free MS 68 FB's have yet to show up. And the 67 FB's divided among the ten years is also a rare bird.
    Even the 66 FB's are mostly found in 71-D/19 72-D/10 73-D/19 75-D/15

    Just a few fun facts from the 70's era.

    We are about 95% done with a deal between Nick, Lincolnsrule and myself. This will be great for everyone involved.
