Congrats to Scott Skywalker, the young coin Jedi went 7/7 in the crossover department, no easy task for even the most seasoned veterans. Too bad they will all be hostages at The Stash!
<< <i>Have not seen that NGC-58 01-S before. Hope buyer can post some better pics. He MAY have made the buy of the decade, IMO. >>
Yes he may have indeed .. the buyer came forward in a US Coin forum post
I was looking through Heritage archives and the only AU 1901-S Quarters I found were a PC55 from 2009 - sold for $33k PCGS 55 And an NGC 55 which sold in 2006 for $29,990 NGC 55
They are obviously the same coin .. not just the spot but up at the motto to the left of We is the give away (the spot by the eye is bigger on the PCGS coin though which seems odd to me)
Both those look like good deals now too eh?
** Edited to change from look like the same coin to they are the same coin **

I'll probably get blasted for this, but both of those coins look like dogs to me. Maybe it's Heritage's pics?
Scott - Saw that 55 in hand. Was not a good buy, IMO, price was low for a reason.
Justin - We agree.
Also, another PCGS-55, which used to be MFH's, was also in an NGC-55 holder, and has been floating around, most recently with Jack Beymer since Mike traded it in.
Vern l It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
Scott, Thanks for providing that link. Very interesting to read everyone's opinion. I could not pass judgement based on poor photos. Will agree that description was long winded. I'm hoping the buyer gets a nice original coin, and I hope we all get to see some high quality pix.
Just recd Beymer's mailing. Still has Mike's old 55 01-S listed at $49,560. Also has an NGC-30 listed at $32,900, that I saw in hand in April 2012. PM if you want my opinion.
Mike - You're correct. I bought that F-12 from Jim D, years ago. It now belongs to a forum member, who can identify himself, if he chooses. Beautiful 92-O dime. Congrats.
Pics for tonight, another of my former 01-S's:
Vern l It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
The 01-s In fine , I had the privledge of being offered the coin back from Vern, so I took him up on the offer. Everyone really liked it back then, and apparently still does, so do I. I would love to get a higher graded one like Vern or Glenn's, but would only buy a high quality for the grade piece if I had to give up the fine.
Vern,
The vg-10 you posted looks familiar, you did not by chance get this from steve years ago did you, I had one just like it, and traded into him against the fine way back when. Even the serial # sounds familiar. I am going to go back and check my files and see if I can find the vg-10 slab #.
I was talking with Mike H about the 01-s 55 that JB has, a friend of mine was looking at the coin, but sometimes he does good at picking quality, and other times he doesn't. Hell have to make that choice on whether to pursue it or not??
Mike, Nice obverse on the 09-O dime and its not everyday you see an ICG cross! I just did a ICG bust out, results pending. Congrats on Everyman dime set.
Yes, Glenn's looks a lot better than the photo in hand. The photo appears to make it look a little washed out which It isn't if I recall, but I agree I like your coin better if I were offerd both too choose from.
Regarding the 93-O, I was on the fence when I bought it. Price was great but I just kept seeing the bag mark. It's really grown on me since, and I've gotten quite a few compliments on it. Thanks!
Not detracting one iota from the 97-O in 55, but again, I refer back to the 1896-S in 53. What were they thinking ? When were these two Quarters submitted ? The grades need to be reversed on these two coins. >>
Mike,
I couldn't agree more, consistency is a real problem. I have several examples each of both overgraded and undergraded coins. You'll have a chance to view the 96-S in Chicago.

Jim - I found pics of Glen's (a collector friend from Ohio) 01-S from the seller. Coin looks better in hand, but I'd still take my 35:

I do believe that the 01-S VF35 example in that set is by far the nicest VF 1901-S example I have ever seen in my life. Wow!!!!
Dave
Dave - Thanks for the kind words. I've yet to see a nicer, original, problem free VF example. (or XF or AU for that matter).
