@DoubleJCoins Just asking a question.... Look at @CascadeChris 's 1957-D, it's an MS64. I think you got lucky with that 1955 graded at MS66. JMO What do you think?

I realize this question wasn't directed toward me, but I'll just jump in here and give my opinion. The coin looks like it was shot with soft lighting and this can obscure low detail areas. The eagle's breast feathers are very poorly defined on many WQ issues and this is especially true, in my experience, in the 1950s. There are a few hits on the eagle's body, but overall the obverse is quite clean and the reverse is fine for an MS66. If the coin has very soft luster then I could see it on the lower side of MS66, but if in-hand it has very good luster then it would be a really solid coin.

Just my opinion based upon the images.

How about some love for clad coins??

I wish I could hit "Like" on this one a dozen times or so! Wow!

TomB

I like strong colors on WQs, ponderit, and those coins look cool.

I have to say, I've gotten a sneaking appreciation for toned clad coins since I've tried to find some raw ones to fill up the Dansco slots (up through 1985 P & D). They are surprisingly hard to find. That '68-D is a pretty one.

(the reverse is very dull!)

That's a great RPM and a beautiful 1950-S.

That works for me. Thanks!

You know what they say... Once you go clad, you go right back to silver

The first 65 is just gorgeous.67?

Kudo's to the photographer, his technique and equipment.

While I agree the 1965 is very pretty, if I'm not mistaken, the "first" '65 is also "the second". It's just imaged differently.

Correct. I wanted to show different lighting to get a better feel for the grade. I have it around 66. The in hand look is in between but a very slight shift and the full, both neon & pastel, color spectrums jump out at you.

Here is a dime that was with the same set wrapped in tissue paper in a small yellow pocket envelope. The cent, nickel & half weren't as colorful...

Beautiful pastel toning on those, Chris!

Nice Coins Everyone. Love the clads and the 1950 s/s
For some reason I keep trying to fill in the Regular slots but keep finding varieties. Last year I was so proud to find the 1943 S Raw Trumpet Tail. Graded MS 64 and took me almost 2 years to find one.

Than this coin popped up last week on Ebay.......My first purchase of the New Year and was not positive until I got the coin in hand and all the pup matched once again. This coin will tie 4 others for Top Pop and upgrade the 64 I just made ...............Enjoy Tom

Wow!! When I first looked at it, I looked right past the MM and the lack of Cameo and asked my self, "Why in the world would you post a 1996 Proof Washington?".. Then it dawned on me.. Amazing PL Denver coin...

1963 Doubled Die Obverse

That is some extreme color for a 1946-S! Holy Cow! The Mint did not produce mint sets that year, so these are tough to find with that much color.

Rob41281

The toning on it is fairly dark but get some light on it and the colors come alive.

Tom,

It looks like 2016 was a good year for you. Congrats on those varieties and the 43-S you found in 2017.

Gorgeous 47-S.Tetromibi

Great 1947-S, Tetromibi!

TomB

I'd hang out at that laundromat more often, joepocketchange!

1tommy

Love the 47 S and would go back to the laundromat and get more change.

Just finished a Trade with another Collector and This is One of the Two coins I acquired and my First 67+ And it's not a Variety.

Enjoy Tom

TomB

Beautiful 1934, Tom. It seems to me that the 1934 and 1939 WQs come nicer than any other issues in this series in the 1930s. Anyway, your 1934 might not be a variety like the others you collect, but it is still a Medium Motto for the date, which might be considered (gasp!) a variety.

Images by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

NorCalJack

Wow, that is a nice 34 you picked up Tom.

Here's a tough one that I just got the grade on last night coming in at 66 DCAM, which was an upgrade to my other 1958 DCAM which is a 64 DCAM, but merely a push in the registry with my 67 CAM.

Thanks Tom, they're very pretty in hand too. Both are 66.

Out of the National Parks and into the States. I definitely prefer this sort of proof finishing to the NP look.

Here is a couple from the $5 bin. Not bad for $5 IMO.

Raw 1950-S PL

What do you think?

TomB

I like that PL 1950-S! I've never seen a PL for that issue, but have owned several 1946-S and 1947-S WQs that were strongly PL. They all have that characteristic die polish that yours features, as well.

Man that 68 D is just incredible!

TomB

That 1938 has a lot of color, Rob41281, was it in the same album as the 1949?

Rob41281

No clue, bought from the same seller though, both PCGS graded.
