My old 1916 philly was no longer doing anything for me, so I sold it. Not long after selling it a raw one popped up on ebay. I won at auction and sent it in for grading, and it graded MS63 today. It has excellent luster and is well struck, and the peripheral color is a nice touch and fits in better with my 16-D. The 16-S is a bit tougher to upgrade but it is blast white.

MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Nice NEWP, but still that 16D makes me drool everytime I see it!

    If you have enough time, you could put that 16P in an older album and wait a good 10 years or so to catch up
    with that D mint coin ;)

    A gorgeous coin my man finds in the wild! I don’t know how you do it but you rock👍🏻👍🏻
    I can’t wait to see what you find next. You are amazing!!

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
