New Purchase from RCNH

I bought this half for my 1878 Mint Set today from Rare Coins of New Hampshire. I really like the original look and I'm hoping the colors are more vivid than they look in their pics. NGC 55 graded.
Let me know what you think of her.

Looks great to me.

I received some coins from them this week and I was very pleased as well.

How far along are you with the 1878 mint set?

kranky, I have 11 of the 28 coins. most are AU with the low being an AU53. there are a couple of coins that I most likely will not be able to own, but that's OK. All part of the fun.

Nice piece, I was debated whether or not to buy that from them last week.

Yeah the guys at RCNH are very nice but they have been unsuccessful in locating a PQ Saint for me for almost two years.

Yeah the guys at RCNH are very nice but they have been unsuccessful in locating a PQ Saint for me for almost two years.

That could becuase the term PQ is so over used these days and few coins meet the true meaning of PQ-

Common Date or Rare date?

Great looking coin Gary Congrats...

Regardless, when you finally get one that meets Warren's standards, you will have one that will really be "PQ" and reflect that in years to come if it is ever sold.

I had two young guys from a major auction house call over one of the principles, himself, when they heard I had a classic commemorative typeset that has significantly been put together either by RCNH coins themselves or by coins recommended by Warren. The guy made one of the fastest beelines I've ever seen to press his card in my hand as well as ask me to please contact them if I ever wanted to sell.

They know Warren Mills, Jon Rosenthal and Rare Coins of New Hampshire only have, and sell, the very best. Sure, you may have to wait and sometimes a long time but when you get "that call", you also get a super coin.

Common date, so you would think that they could find something within two years. They did offer me however three coins, all 66's but none met my criteria of PQ and I passed on them. The first coin they offered me did have clean fields and nice original skin but it had three prominent horizontal cuts on the leg that I just could not overlook. The next two coins they sent were surprisingly mediocre. With Saints, the PQ designation has been overused so much of late that it has little relevance anymore. When I request PQ, I mean by original standards not by today's watered down standards. If I am going to spend $3000+ for a 66 it has to have excellent eye appeal.

Sierra

I dont really fault RCNH or any other dealer that sent me less that PQ Saints. The fact is that the true PQ 66 examples are locked up in collections or are now in 67 holders. When spectacular 66's do find their way to the dealers they are immediately sent them in and folks like me rarely get a chance to buy one. I am still waiting.

I like your new purchase.
