I got this today, I love these old holders but this coin is actually nice, too.
A nice widget for under $50 :)


I got it from Skyland Coin in Bristol, VA
Has anyone here been there before? It was my first visit and a pleasant one. 👍
I’ll likely go back next time I’m in that area.

    Very nice, a nice bonus that the rev label is intact.

    Oh yeah, that's nice!

    These are my favorite NGC holders and are getting tougher and tougher to find!

    Great buy!

    They still do, ricko, but they only make half. ;)

    Then he goes on to say “old” holder....as someone who collected long before there were any holders, now I’m offended!
    Jk, great coin and holder, however you describe it!

    You won’t find a full strike on a 1944 S but this coin has remarkable luster and originality and the old holder is intact, including the hologram. I don’t see any major marks or distractions, either. All this for under 50 bucks is a major score.

    You struck a good deal, Great luster, probably a higher grade than ms 63. Good Job 👍

    That thumb is nowhere to be seen! lol :D
    I read that this particular issue was known for weak strikes and mine is a textbook example. That's probably why it's only a 63 because the luster is awesome and the fields are pretty decent. I still like the coin a lot regardless. :)

    Looks like a candidate for a gold sticker.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    It is if you see what people pay for gold stickers on old holders!

    Sure, if you can do a bulk shipment (with other prospects), then it might be a good idea.

    Its one of the embossed slabs, not sticker, which are even cooler
