Anyone have a Cincinnati commem?

lcoopie · May 19, 2009 9:26AM

I am expecting a delivery in a couple of days
and I would like to see what my forum friends
have in their collections?
The tension is building up, so
while I wait I will enjoy seeing what everyone else has.

apparently Stephen Foster (Oh susannah") had nothing to do
with the musical life in Cincinnatii, but he did work there
as a bookkeeper.

you guys have some nice examples

Lanlord- thats sportsmoderator, not steve martin

and

Fatman, all your coins look alike,
and I alike them a lot.

richardshipp · May 19, 2009 11:42AM

Nice looking coins all. I'm still lookin' for mine....

BillJones · May 19, 2009 12:00PM

A toned NGC MS-64 example.

The PCGS 64 of Messydesk sure has alot of bag marks to get in a 64 holder.

The MS-66 has a mark on Stephen Foster's cheek. I think the grading on the MS-64 is consistent.

I agree with you. Looking at my white MS65 above compared to Fatman's MS66, messydesks MS64 looks properly graded. In fact they all look like perfect examples for the grade.

messydesk · May 20, 2009 1:24AM

I compared my 64 against some others in hand, and in my opinion it is properly graded. This issue can have "raw planchet" marks on the jaw due to striking problems, and the other marks are mostly small and non-obtrusive. The pictures are true to the coin, only much bigger. Back away from the monitor a few feet and take another look.

The same reason Neil Young (later years) is on the Vancouver LOL

Seriously, I'm looking for a good VG-VF Cinci, any mintmark will do...

FinallyHere · May 20, 2009 3:04AM

Here's a pretty S mint

Eagleguy · May 20, 2009 3:32AM

I'm almost embarrassed to show mine after seeing the one FatMan posted...

don't be
your registry set is great, and complete-

Mike-that's some S mint

lcoopie · May 21, 2009 10:06AM

it's arrived:
My pic is terrible, it is beautiful, one of my nicest.
And I bought it completely based upon the advice of
my friendly dealer, with very little description
and he didn't have time to take a pic
which I am glad
because he tends to scratch the holders
when he tries to take a pic.

another try

yellowkid · May 21, 2009 10:10AM

That is veeerryyy nice, congratulations, a good Cincy with color is something I'm still looking for, yours is certainly a great pickup!!!!

lcoopie · May 21, 2009 10:23AM

thanks Yellowkid
I put another pic and I don't like my photo skills

yellowkid · May 21, 2009 10:35AM

<< thanks Yellowkid

Second photo is better....

lcoopie · May 21, 2009 10:48AM

that's the second opinion regarding the second pic

The camera was much higher
thanks

messydesk · May 21, 2009 11:21AM

Oooohhh!! Nice coin with subtle coloring. I like it!

jmj3esq · May 21, 2009 11:29AM

I love your Cinnci! Very nicely done.

Eagleguy · May 21, 2009 10:20PM

Looks like some scratches behind Foster's head and below his chin but nothing distracting, especially given the toning. Nice pickup!

thanks for the comments everyone

those "scratches" show up more in the pics, and are die polish

the toning is nicer than I can demonstrate IMO
