Hard to believe ... and a NEWP =)

It's kindof hard to believe almost a year has past since I have frequented this board. It's been a pretty crazy year.

In retrospect, I really did miss reading what a few of you post, and thank you for the smiles I get and the knowledge I gleen when I do stop by.

I started reading quietly (lurking) again right around the holidays and looking at coins again for the first time in many months.

Last weekend I found a couple things I was interested in, and made a call to a dealer I haven't worked with or met yet. Thanks to Robbie at The Reeded Edge for this little jewel that arrived Saturday, and is an upgrade to my A set of these.

She's in our hosts plastic (my personal favorite) ... and you are certainly welcome to guess the grade and/or comment on her.

Hope 2010 is a wonderful year for all of us!

Best Regards! image

    Looks nice. I'll say 64 because of the strike, but I don't know this series that well.

    Welcome back. That sure looks clean to me. I'll guess 65 with a nice little bonus rim cud on the reverse!

    Looks 66 to me , the planchet surfaces are super clean and the coin has great eye appeal, very nice piece!!image

    Welcome back, Very nice coin - interesting rim cud on the reverse. I would say (based on photograph) a 63/64 - from the appearance I suspect it may look better in hand. Cheers, RickO

    << <i>interesting rim cud on the reverse. >>



    ricko, that is not a cud but part of the PCGS holder if you look closely.

    Good morning, and thanks for the welcome backs. image

    After a while it got easy to miss this place.

    Good call by Broadstruck, Ricko and Messydesk. It is a PCGS63, and solid to upper end IMO as such, but she photographs well too I guess ... looking at the picture I could see her in a 64 holder, in hand though I wouldn't want to be the buyer at that grade.

    Nice coin for sure. I think maybe the light haze is the only thing keeping it from a 64.

    Welcome back Todd! I have missed seeing you post! I do like your new Liberty nickel very much. I would have guessed MS64. Strike is a tad bit weak but not too bad.
    I sold off my V nickel set last year and started a US type set which I am almost 85% finished with. I am going to work on a PQ AU58 Liberty nickel set I think. They sure are hard to find though.
