...for 2011 that is...how's that for sensationalism! image

In this case, I bought the plastic, not the coin!

    This kinda plastic should be over in the Precious Metals forum. image

    Nice score.

    The decline from democracy to tyranny is both a natural and inevitable one.

    I agree. It's flashy.

    Coin deffinetly looks better than a 63, the plastic looks to be 66ish. image
  • That does not suck! Happy New Year! Nice score.

    It is actually quite nice, if not for the cheek I think it would be in a very high grade holder. It's probably a 64 pushing 65 by today's standards. I love the look, just dripping with luster. If the cheek were cleaner, I would think 67...honestly.

    I like both. The coin is nice and cartwheely, and I like the subtle toning.

    Does anyone know which one is more rare, the NGC 2.0 (the holder in the OP) or the 2.5? (the same one, but has the logo embossed on the inside of the plastic) I've always wondered. I don't see either one with any regularity.

    Great score and certainly a nice coin . . . . . both of them (2.0/2.1) could be rarer than the Doily as Orevile has commented in the past.

    The 2.1 is substantially rarer than the 2.0. NGC had problems with the hotstamp on the inside of the slab and it only lasted a few days before they moved the hotstamp to the outside. The 2.0 then continued in production for a while with the white core and insert.

    Were you comparing the NGC 2.0 and the PCGS 2.5? The 'same one' is the NGC 2.1 (with the hotstamp on the inside).

    I just sent 5 2.0/2.1s in to CAC along with 7 Doilies to start the process of finding out how grading was from 1987 to 1989. Results will be posted later . . . after I get all the Doilies fired off and back.

    Sorry, yes I was talking about the 2.1, not the 2.5 (which does not exist.)

  • Billet7Billet7 Posts: 4,923 ✭✭✭
    I would think that they are both more rare than the doily, but that's just my take on it.

    You must have missed the "...of 2011" part. image
