Nuts... mine's not the nicest any more. :(

My 1770 1/2d, NGC MS64 BN PL was the highest graded PL in the series... until now.

NEN has an MS65 RD PL. Must be a recent slabbing. I bet it looks much nicer in hand than the pics.

I'd love to own this one but (1) It's already sold, and (2) it's more than 10x what I paid for mine (which wasn't cheap).



Mine's bluer.

For what's it worth - I like your much more.

Your's is purty, very nice blue!

ipmman

Yours definately has a better rack...

MacCrimmon

Prices are soaring, eh?

From what I can see, on technical merits, I'll take the blue one because it's smoooooooth, and has no carbon specks; the other does.

Yours would also appear to have a better strike, especially at the rims (no dentils on the red one).

So, there's my 4 haypennies....och!!!!

Dunno how they compare in hand, but based on the pics alone, I too like yours a little better. Both are pretty awesome.

I have one word for you: resell.

ipmman - are you talking about the coin.

I don't understand how a coin from 1770 can still be mint red.

I also don't agree with the MS65RD being "better" than your MS64RB.

This thread might have made me feel bad about the one Mac sold me..................................nah, it didn't!

Now that's a nice RB. I like it better than the RD that NEN is selling for $4,500.

I find it interesting though, that both the RD and my BN show clear evidence of denticles, whereas yours is almost completely void of them...

My coin measures only 27 mm. I overlaid the coin on Coinpictures' (after making our Georges approximately the same size)
I'd bet your planchet was larger.
