Mark, That '60 dcam looks super and your set is coming along nicely

Tommy, those ogh look like some hidden gems

I am sure a few of the rattlers would upgrade but think I will leave them in the Old holder's for now.

Picked this one up from GC last Sunday pops show 5 in MS 64 with one lone top pop at MS 65.

I think after a short bath this one might just upgrade.

Enjoy

cointime · May 12, 2016 10:44AM

Tommy, I agree. To me it looks like a acetone bath will reveal most of the luster to get you your 65. Restoring coins like this is all goodness

Alright, it's been a little over 1 month since the last post. Completely unacceptable.

I'm guilty of little to no Washington activity so I have no room to complain.

But would like to enjoy some others news.

1tommy · June 14, 2016 5:03AM

Sometimes I feel Like I am the only one Collecting These and Yet I keep getting Outbid on all the ones I want.

Wonder who picked up the 1934 MS 64+ DDO from Heritage as I was the underbidder...

Here is my newest Pickup. Only 5 coins exist in MS....

I do have a stack of raws ones to be sent in but just in no hurry....

Enjoy

TomB · June 14, 2016 5:33AM

I also held back on posting more images because I didn't want to bore folks with the coins I was posting. Here is a reverse; I'll post the obverse later.

1tommy · June 15, 2016 3:22AM

Once again Nice Reverse Tom, My guess is a 1952.....

Enjoy

TomB · June 15, 2016 11:20AM

Yep, a 1952-S. I recall vividly that afternoon at the Spring 2000 Baltimore show on Dealer Day when another dealer and I went through a box of 300-or so original double mint sets. I opened up the envelope and this coin was just staring at me. It was geek love...

1tommy · June 15, 2016 7:57PM

Now how could I guess it was the 1952?

Because I love Varieties and I am pretty sure that yours is one..........

That is one nice looking coin and RPM.....

Enjoy

Keep up the good work Tommy.
Great to see your still working on your set.
Dale

1tommy · June 17, 2016 8:44PM

Thanks Dale

Good to see you stopping by and hope life is treating you good.

Picked this one up from Dr Bruder.

This is the DDO 102 MS 65

Ahh, this activity is most enjoyable. Thanks!

So enjoy seeing others achievements.

I just added a 1950 PR66 to my set which brings my completion to 33.33%.

There are a couple, so far, that I'm not completely happy with but overall am having a blast with it.

1tommy · June 19, 2016 6:59AM

Its been over 2 Years since Utah Coin Discovered the first 1950 Proof Quarter with Engraved Tail Feathers and I am still searching for one example.

Here is a lot I bought off ebay that has a few nice coins in the bunch. The Most interesting one is the 1962 in the Cellophane.

It is marked MS and I plan on getting in checked out as it is the Type B Reverse.

Not a Mark on the coin and if its a true MS its a Score. A couple of the proofs look really good too.....

This is a really rare variety, congratulations on obtaining it!

sparky64 · June 21, 2016 11:51AM

That eBay lot looks pretty cool.

Looks like some gems in there.

1tommy · June 23, 2016 11:05PM

Thanks Rich

I really wanted this 1934 DDO from Heritage. It has not shown up in anyone set yet.

1934 DDO MS 64 +

I guess missing this one allowed me to buy the other which is much rarer.

Also went to my dealer yesterday and as I thought he confirmed the 1962 is a proof and not MS. Wide rims ahhhhhh.....

Still a few gems in that pile that might make the trip to our host........

Enjoy

sparky64 · June 26, 2016 1:35AM

Posted this newp on the main forum but wanted to place it here as well.

As I said over there, a higher grade example would be nice but this has just the look I like.

PCGS MS63

BG · June 26, 2016 7:56PM

Nice examples all!

1tommy · June 28, 2016 10:01PM

Sparky I like the 1932 and grade does not matter.

BG I really like that 1957 and still looking for a nice example to add to my set.

I picked this 1958 from ebay and it is the Type B rims are thin so no proof this time...

Hopefully the coin looks good in hand not worth submitting unless its a 66 at least. Enjoy

TomB · June 29, 2016 12:59AM

The lighting might be a bit deceptive on the 1958 WQ, but it looks like a winner from here.

cointime · June 29, 2016 9:22AM

I agree with Tom, the '58 looks like a BS Ty-B to me also.

NorCalJack · June 30, 2016 4:19AM

Tom,

The 58 Type B looks very clean of marks. Hope it looks that good in hand. The light is questionable at best, so hard to see if the surfaces are original.

Best of luck.

Jay

1tommy · July 2, 2016 12:21AM

Well I got the four coins and the 58 looks like it might hit a MS 66 and the 57 d also a 66.

Every time I get a package ready to send off I end up buying more.

So hopefully this next week I will send in the first Batch.

Jay how did that 1951 D turn out? Hopefully it was the right coin?

I was the underbidder on ebay yesterday for the 1936 DDO MS 64 and it sold for alittle over 1500.

Price guide is over 2500 so someone got a good deal and its another coin that is not showing up in anyone's registry.

Enjoy

Nice 1943 DDO. Did you buy it in the holder or raw?

Thanks

Heritage Last Night. The Hair detail really stands out and the face and neck area look hit free. The price was another reason. And it Fills One more Hole in a 185 coin set.

It was just another coin that called out Buy me.....Did you copy the pictures from your recent purchase? Looking forward to seeing that coin.

Enjoy

sparky64 · July 20, 2016 11:08AM

Nice.

I agree. The obv really looks hammered.

Yes it just showed up in todays mail. Looks good in hand.

Thanks again Tom

1tommy · July 21, 2016 10:16PM

Congrats on the coin Jay. Some of these are just cheaper to pick up already in a pcgs slab and glad to help.

Now up for discussion is the Heritage Auction at the ANA show.

I noticed someone must be selling off there Washington Quarter set. What is different is the fact that Heritage or the seller is putting 3 or more MS 67 together in a sale?

There are a Few Lots being offered this way and I just don't get it? Is the fact that so MANY coins are now being graded 67 + that the 67 are no longer collectible so they bundle them together? I have seen this done before but never with MS 67 Coins.

Thoughts? Enjoy

Heritage ANA Sale of Washington Quarters.....

onlyroosies · August 11, 2016 9:31AM

I was looking at Mitch's set (as I do at least once a week) and noticed when I clicked on his 1956P that in coin facts he has a
write up under "expert Comments" Wow! was that great. Mitch I want more. I started clicking on a bunch of dates and couldn't
find any more write ups. Mitch, What other dates have you written for? and when will you add more write ups. I could sit here
for hours reading a write up from Mitch for every date and mint. I would like to see you do it for the Roosies too.

Nick

wondercoin · August 11, 2016 10:00AM

Thanks Nick. I have written comments both for the classic and modern side of things over on Coinfacts in the past. So, you might just as easily find a comment I have written on a silver quarter date or a 1993 "Philly Set" Silver Eagle for that matter.

I would greatly enjoy writing up some comments with you on various Silver Roosie Dime dates. Why don't you select a date or two, send me over your draft language, I'll add whatever I can add to the commentary and we can jointly post some comments on the silver Dimes. Sound good? Let's avoid 1964-D for a while though

Wondercoin

Stooge · August 15, 2016 10:45AM

Wondercoins silver quarters GPA = 67.15 @100%
Red's silver quarters GPA = 67.32 @98.80%

Both updated and very active.

Anyone figure out who Red is...

wondercoin · August 15, 2016 12:13PM

Stooge: I am not really active at all. I got in a 39-S quarter in MS67+ POP 1 earlier this year (which took all these years to make in a pop 1/0). By the time I got the coin entered in my set last week it was a pop 4 coin! That sums it up nicely.

At ANA, I saw a number of MS67+ coins that could have upgraded my set (on paper). I did not buy any (even though a few sold at fairly cheap levels) as the current MS67 coins in my collection were superior in quality in my opinion. I have no interest in chasing registry points.

Wondercoin

edited to add ... oops ... I checked Coinfacts and that 39-S is now a pop 5/0 coin!

edited to add ... And I had nearly -20- POP 1 coins a few years ago. Last month down to 5. I just saw my 53-D quarter went from pop 1 to pop 2 last week as well. Now down to 4 POP 1 silver coins. That's a lot of registry points lost on 16 POP 1/s going down the drain! Come and get my final 4 POP 1's and take me out of my misery please!! Here are the remaining coins:

1935-D MS67+ (what's taking you pro upgraders so long)?
1936-D MS67+ (this one will not be so easy to match)
1951-S MS68 (this one will not be so easy to match)
1954-D MS67+ (this one should not be so easy to match, but its going to happen soon I suspect)

DIMEMAN · August 16, 2016 9:29AM

Wondercoin - I sure wish you would open your sets so they could be viewed.

wondercoin · August 16, 2016 11:11PM

The Regular sets are open and are very impressive, but the variety sets are closed and I would love to see those.

wondercoin · August 18, 2016 2:27AM

Thank you Dimeman.

The variety sets have essentially no pics, so there is not much to look at. One day, I will ask Justin to picture the coins for me.

Wondercoin.

SanctionII · August 19, 2016 5:36AM

I would like to see Wondercoin post photos of his Clad quarters.

Some time ago he started a thread in which he posted a picture of a gorgeous 1965 quarter. 1966 forward are still under wraps.

One day I hope he favors us with additional pics of his best clad quarters. If they are similar in quality to his 1932-1964 Silver quarters they will definitely grab the attention fellow forumites.

erwindoc · August 20, 2016 9:20AM

Here is a tru-view pic of one of mine I discovered last week, PCGS thought it was a MS67

1tommy · August 23, 2016 3:45AM

400!!!!!

I love the rainbow toning on that 1941 S Nice Pickup.

I Believe in leaving the set OPEN to everyone, as last week I was contacted by another registry player who had a few extra Varieties. Made a Great Deal and received the 4 coins on Monday.

Here is one of the coolest DDR I think in the series and need to find the 802 next. The Deal also included the 1942 DDO 101 in MS 63. The other 2 are just amazing low pop coins that I will post when I get Pictures.

Enjoy

I didn't know this thread existed. I used to have these in a registry set, but sold a couple of them.

sparky64 · August 24, 2016 10:57AM

That sure is a dramatic DDR, 1tommy.

I don't collect or look for varieties but that one is a must.

Nice arcing crack on the top to boot.

Bankerbob56 · August 24, 2016 11:40PM

Would one of you experts in this field of error collections please explain to me the mechanics of such strong rotation in the letters in America, without the same throughout the words United States?

sparky64 · September 3, 2016 10:23PM

This is one I recently acquired and certain numbers surprised me.

383 at this grade.

62M struck, 1,800 graded and only 22 higher, a third of which are +'s.

PCGS MS66

Wish I could explain but can tell you the 802 the doubling is more evident on the quarter dollar and lighter on united states of america. To me these two are the strongest reverse dies I have seen. Thanks for all the comments and here is the secure plus picture of the 1947 ddo AU 58. Also picked up the 1945 DDO in AU 55 both of these coins have a pop of only 12.

This past week I picked off a 1943 S 804 and the Trumpet Tail And picked up the 1949 d 601 and hopefully the 1950 d/d off ebay raw. 10 coins in with our host for grading. Sparky I have noticed there are a few years that surprise me too that there are not a lot more 67's out there. My guess is there is still a lot of rolls out there and many more jewels to be found.

It's like these varieties I finally realize that Most can still be found in the raw. There not top pops but there alot cheaper and more fun to find. The books are really helping....

TomB · September 23, 2016 12:55AM

I like your 1941. These pre-Mint Set years are tough to find with any real color covering the entire coin. I'd imagine this piece was in a paper envelope, but it still retained nice orange and violet hues under the base color.

sparky64 · September 23, 2016 8:12PM

Thanks TomB. Appreciate your insight.

Based on the auction pic, I was on the fence about this one but then the Trueview sold me.

I will admit that it's one of those "chameleon coins" that can go from iffy to awesome based on the viewing angle.

I normally shy away from those if I see that trait in person.

I like all day, any which way awesome. Who doesn't?

I was thinking about starting a thread about this on the main forum.

I really Like that one and must have missed it on ebay? Nice pickup.

Last week someone posted pcgs graded over 15000 coins in one day. I was praying none were mine. That afternoon up popped my economy order from 8/1. This has to be one of my worst submission with only 2 MS 65 (1 is a tied Top Pop) the other was the 1958 type B that I was positive a lock for a 66.

2 coins got a MS 63 and one a MS 62? I thought I knew my series......Last coin was a 1952 Large D that was deemed cleaned the first time thru and this time straight graded AU 50 which will be a upgrade for my set.

3 more coins sitting there regular on two vouchers and hopefully those will do better. I am going to have others look at 3 of those and try to figure what am I Missing......

Enjoy
