Number 5 Superbird and 2 Upgrades to My Type B set.

1tommy

Well here is my latest purchase of a 1952 Proof Superbird Unattributed and will be crossovered this year. Yes I cannot stop picking this off when I see them. The other two are Upgrades to my Type B quarter set, I have been working on since I joined 2 years ago, and the goal was to put together a set In all MS 65. Of course the 1964 d type C is the only one at MS63 and waiting results for my 1964 type B. Thanks to all that have helped along the way. The 1956 MS65 Is my First really toned coin, and my pictures do not do the coin justice, Enjoy tom

Tom, you've come a long way, man!!! Lets hope that '64 hits your mark of MS65! I'd love to see that Superbird in it's entirety.

Hharvetpb, will you ever get those attributed??? Seems there are ALOT of these in unattributed holders from ATS. Nice set!

I have a stack of circ Type B's, what's the latest on whether these have any value over melt? I've almost dumped them a half-dozen times but always talk myself out of it.

There were two rolls of circulated type B quarters on Ebay recently. One sold for about melt and one for a little more.

I've been collecting Rev B's for about 4 1/2 years. I have been cherry picking them in slabs unattributed off of the Internet for that long.
Whats ATS????

I may start sending the NGC unattributed pieces to NGC for reslabbing & attributions....

I'd say for submission sakes, MS65/66 and above is the grade where it's worth the submission costs for Type B's...minimum MS66 for the most common, like the '57, '58 (top-pop), '59 (top-pop), '60 (top-pop), '63, but there are so many in MS65, you'd really need an MS66 for those years to make it worthwhile. For the other years, MS65 for the '56 is a solid coin (MS66 is top-pop, only 5), '61 (only 2 in MS66), '62 (3 higher, with 1 in MS67, with another known MS67 thats unattributed), '64 (1 in MS66). Keep in mind, this is going by our hosts pops...the pops ATS and ANACS seem more liberal, but unless you can find a solidly graded one in either of those holders, down a point you go, and upon receipt of grades, you'll be bummed. Perhaps the '56 in MS64, you'd be ok (there's a '56 in MS64 on ebay for $195, with no takers, as it's running it's second or third cycle as of now)

Circs, worth holding on to....especially if you got it/them for melt/near melt. The '64-D Type C, it's a 'coin toss' in lower MS, but from MS63 and higher, yeah, it's definitely worth it for the Type C's. That's only for the silvers. The clad Type B (now assigned Type H in the newest edition of the CPG) are a TOTALLY diffferent story.

Anything less, especially circulated examples, are best off being held until these find their place, and with the amount of Washie collectors, they eventually will (I hope in my lifetime). There are still a bunch in XF and AU on ebay that have gone unsold....been there for maybe a year or so (possibly a bit longer???). At one point, that seller had a bundle of them (don't know if he sold some, or not, but the list shriveled down)....I don't believe he's asking much more than grading fees for most of them (in the XF/AU grades, and they are attributed in our hosts plastic). The pops in circ grades are higher than one might think. IMO, those that submitted the circs, with attribution, are definitely buried in them, for now. I could be wrong with this post, but I think I'm pretty spot on. One example....in early '09, there were 2 '56's in MS66, now there are 5.....in 3 years, 3 MS66's were made. The tough dates, in MS66 are just, well, tough. But again, circs, put them away safely...someday, perhaps they'll see the sun.

What I can't understand is people paying $40 or so for common dates in MS64, especialy in plastic other than our hosts (I know everyone can't afford the top-pops, but that's why you have to hunt down the unattributed ones, which usually seem to be in plastic from ATS. There seems to be 'cycles' where you can find a number of unattributed piecs on the 'bay, every now and again. You just gotta hunt them down. Add into that mix the raw at shows (like Lee's '61 clipper in MS63...), and you'd think there are alot, and frankly, there could be, but there are NOT alot in Gem/Gem-plus grades. Could attribution fees have something to do with it...perhaps, but I think it's due to a lack of higher grade pieces.

ATS...Across The Street...NGC.

Why don't you see how those MS66 and MS67's hold up being graded over on this side of the street...I think you'd be unhappily surprised for about 50% or more of them, harvey. I'd keep those MS67's in the same plastic, but that '64-D Type C in the unattributed PCGS MS65 holder, that one NEEDS to be attributed in a PCGS holder, plain and simple.

Well, since you don't know or at the very minimu won't take the time to do just a little bit of research, I'll give you 10% over melt for your entire lot!
