I am always looking for nicer examples. For the 1936 DDO I also have the former Top Pop MS65FB. I Cherrypicked this 1936 in PCGS MS67FB at the Summer FUN HA Auction. I do not exactly agree with the grade unfortunately but I understand why it has this grade. In hand, with the toning, you really have to tilt the coin at just the right angle to see the hit on the cheek. I think this was missed when it went through grading. It is still fun to own the top two finest examples. Hopefully I can find another 67FB to replace this example one day.

I have my Top Pop 1929-S DDO in PCGS MS65FB at PCGS right now for restoration. I look forward to posting the before/after of that within the next couple of weeks.
I also have four other raw varieties at PCGS, they should be done within a couple of weeks as well.

I saw that one but i'll try to find them in B/M's and boards. I just can't push my salf to buy one in a holder for big $$$ it's just me. You did good Nice

Congrats on your newest pickups and your Newest Top Pop, This has been a Great past week for the Quarters Varieties too. Just being in the right place at the right time and having the Knowledge for a Series sure makes the Search a Blast. I may see you at Fun this Year as I hope to make that show and get out of the Cold.........Enjoy

I also find it funny that your collecting many examples of each and yet your not letting go of the others? I have this same problem.............And good luck with the restoration I did my 36 Proof Quarter and it did take the spots away but it also took the luster so I have mixed feelings on doing that again....

Thanks everyone.

Tommy, I have not entirely decided about my spare 36 DDO in 65FB. For the right money I would let it go for sure but there is not a lot of demand right now so I can just wait until the demand shows up. I will certainly be at Winter FUN so we can say hi.

I'm looking forward to it. Do you have before and after pics of your 36 Proof Quarter and was this done at PCGS or NCS?

When you are busy cherrypicking some poor, helpless dealer (

), do you have a book in hand or are you looking for specific coins that you keep in memory? I have to guess it's memory because I expect any dealer seeing a customer with a book in hand will have an idea about what is going on.

Those are both beauties!

Hey check out the link in my signature line and yes there are small pictures of the coin in holder Before and than the tru-view and it could be the difference between a Proof and what would happen to a MS coin. Its the 1936...........And look forward to meeting a few forum members at the show...... Enjoy

That Cherrypick was from the Heritage auction. Based on the online images I thought it might be the variety but I was fortunate enough to attend lot viewing at Summer FUN to confirm my suspicion. In regards to Cherrypicking in general, I am close to having 100 coin varieties memorized...so if I approach a dealer's case at a show I look for the coins that I know have varieties and then I ask to view those coins that I recognize. That's all, pretty simple.

Love those Merc's but I couldn't deal with the varieties.
I can barely see the coin - and if I wear my readers, I can
make out most of the lettering - and with my pocket magnifying
5X I can see all I need to see on the coin.

What you collect, you need something short of the Hubble Telescope.

Nice stuff though.

Nice coins Greg.

Mike's eye's are not what they use to be......ever since that incident at the Boston teaparty uprising!
