    Cannot figure out this software

    If you copy the web address. Click the button that looks like a chain link above where you type your message. Paste your web address in the box and click o.k. Then replace any text between the [ ] at the beginning of your link with whatever words you want the link to be called. Finally, post the message. Hope this helps :)

    hchcoin describes how to create a link.
    To make a webpage image show up in a post instead, click on the "dog eared page" button to the right of the chain link button. Then 2 boxes pop up. The lower one says "Image URL". Paste the webpage image URL there and then it will display.
    To Edit your post, click on the "gear" button in the top right corner, just right of the timestamp of the original post, and it gives you one option: Edit.

    Wow....nice coin....go for it!

  • BIGAL2749BIGAL2749 Posts: 742 ✭✭✭✭

    I would think rarer in that condition than a proof 67
    Any idea what the value would be?

    That copper color will come right out with a good soak in jeweluster.

    Like TDN, I enjoy spinning through CoinFacts and coming across some great coins, including in series I have never collected.

    That is a smooth piece of gold, looks better than anything coming out of the mint these days.

    I tried that - don't know why it didn't work. Can we post images from our phone now?

  • yosclimberyosclimber Posts: 5,028 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I don't know if it works from a phone. I did it from Chrome on my PC.

  • BIGAL2749BIGAL2749 Posts: 742 ✭✭✭✭

    We can't hit the like icon more than once, I tried

    I hope it gets displayed at a show I attend before it gets that "good soak in jeweluster"

    That coin is much better a coin than the highest graded proof and deserves higher price tag.

    Great looking 1906 MS66. And even the MS65 listed under it is killer for the grade. Take a look at Oreville's old 1875-s Type 2 in MS67 if you really want to be amazed. Have to agree that fresh gem $20 Libs are neat looking coins....and they have a similar appeal to those big gem seated and trade dollars too.

    Only "almost"? Any idea what could make it happen? :)

    BTW, here's the TrueView, which, interestingly, is different than the CoinFacts image:

    Wow that's a really pretty coin there. I'm not much into gold either but your right that might make me start if I ever saw something like it

    TDN........hard to believe you have no gold. Just get yourself a nice pocket piece to bring you good luck at coin auctions.

    Wow!

    I'll come up with something.
  • joebb21joebb21 Posts: 4,769 ✭✭✭✭✭

    in hand it must look alot worse.

    It looks like a solid ms67 to me and I see pcgs called it ms66.
    Ive handled alot of ms66 $20 libs over the last couple of years. This dont look like a ms66

    may the fonz be with you...always...
  • joebb21joebb21 Posts: 4,769 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Also, TDN- this is the coin that would make you collect gold? I know its a beautiful an all but what about this beautiful ms66 $10 that sold for weak money (in my opinion)

    Oreville's 75-S is a straight up pipe-hittin' MONSTER. One of my favorite coins anyone has ever posted on this board.

    click quote of a post with a modified link, images etc to see the code. this code takes some getting used to.

    pcgs has changed forum software an average of every 2 years since ive been here. 3x in 6 years. let us pray it will be longer this time. i dont know how some of the non-coders made it through this period. i almost didnt and i adapt pretty well and am an amateur coder.

    True GEM $20s are a sight to behold; especially $20 Libs, it also helps they have a great design too.

    I though it was higher than 66! What a beauty! :love:

    Agree. Comparing this pic to to other gold coin pics where I have also had the coin in hand, my swag is that there is a bit of haze on it.

    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.
  • stevebensteveben Posts: 4,634 ✭✭✭✭✭

    wait...it's "almost enough" !?!

  • cnncoinscnncoins Posts: 414 ✭✭✭✭

    TDN,
    This was definitely better than the 65 in BC's set I sold after the ANA show. I would be going crazy trying to locate this coin to upgrade if we were still doing the set! It's gorgeous.

  • I keep hoping to find one of those in the local Coinstar machine ...
