Wow, I can't believe someone would take a permanent marker to a NGC holder and largely write over the top of everything like that. What an obtrusive case of even obliterating the 3rd party grader's text! a sticker or similar would have been much better. Why would someone consider defacing like that! I don't understand.

No love for the ICG holder then, eh?

Because the plastic is only a temporary holder, when I complete the set I will have them all put in matching holders. I would prefer PCGS, but will go for ICG if our hosts don't recognize varieties.
Except for that little ANACS in the center, that stays put.
It's not like these are rattlers or doilys or early NGC holders, they are in generic plastic. I know there is a BF-16 in a regency holder out there somewhere. If i owned that, I would likely keep the cap on the sharpie.

It's just a piece of plastic. We are stewards of the coins themselves, not their encasements.
" Except for that little ANACS in the center, that stays put."
Do you have an image of just that coin?
I'm no good with trying to take photos, so I'll just link the doubledimes.com write-up. http://www.doubledimes.com/1875P-BF3.html
This is the discovery coin for BF-3, I own it, but I can't take credit for identifying it properly (I though it was a BF-2).
This is still the only known 1875 BF-3.
I've searched all available archives and have been scouring shows and the interwebs for years trying to find another.
I'm sure that the authors and a few others have been too.
A few years in, so far. This is the only one, so it stays in it's plastic.
Your BF-3 in AU58 PL with John's letter... that is so cool! perhaps you might frame that letter or protect it in someway? It is now an important piece of numismatic history along with your beautiful coin!

A couple of newps/upgrades since the last family photo.
There must be someone else besides me trying a die variety set, there was a bit of a bidding war for the scarce BF-4 at Heritage a few months ago, its the first one I've ever seen
I think that I may have a problem here. I already have 4 of the 15 known 75-CC BF-1, yet I still keep looking for another.
1876 Twenty Cent in Mint State. This is my best piece from the preservation perspective.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
I think the '76-CC stopped a lot of hearts on this thread over the weekend!
@cccoins All I could see was unc pieces online. On important coins, our hosts don't provide needed records on coins like your 1876-CC double dime 20c twenty cent piece. Is there a back story here? How did you acquire it? amazing!

Here is what I know about it. Due to it’s rarity, it was reasonably easy to find the provenance:
My favorite Carson City coin! About 16-18 known in straight grades, and most are uncirculated. Only a few of these saw circulation, likely in the local Carson City area. The stories this coin could tell! Provenance: - January, 2010 - Wagner collection - July, 1989 - Superior's session of Auction '89, Lot 565 - $29,700 - January, 1989 - Stack's auction, Lot 423 - $19,800 - 1982 - Auction ‘82, Lot 707 - $25,000 - June, 1976 - Bowers and Ruddy - Dr. Edward B. Willing auction, from E.A. Carson collection, Lot 72 - $16,000 - November, 1956 - Stacks - B. Frank collection, Lot 622 - $3,300 - November, 1946 - Stacks - Charles Deetz collection, Lot 1512 - $1,090 Possible other appearances: - 1937 - Stacks
@GuzziSport your ‘75 proof has great character and peripheral color. The old fatty holder and CAC approval give it the full package. I’d definitely be proud to own that one.
Thanks @P0CKETCHANGE it checks all the boxes for me as a collector. And even better, that fatty holder looks like it was issued yesterday, it’s that pristine. Scratched and beat up holders trigger my OCD 🤔.
It’s the type of coin that makes me glad I don’t just collect within a single series - I appreciate the diversity and artistry of designs, the history etc amongst the various early federal series, and happy owning one really nice example.

As far as I know, only ANACS and ICG attribute US twenty-cent pieces by BF numbers.

What a beautiful group of coins. Only had one of these, but unfortunately sold it some years ago.

This was purchased as a VF back in the mid ‘80’s for my 7070. Most of the toning is from that album.

Nice coins being posted here! Two years ago at the Chicago WFoM, my YN and I both went into the Stacks Auction Viewing to see a '76-CC... security was tight.

Greg,
I would feel that coin to at least be an XF40 or 45. I think it very attractive.

Can’t compete with @BillJones but here is my type piece
11.5$ Southern Dollars, The little “Big Easy” set
Three beautiful Double Dimes from BillJones. Very nice!
An almost matched pair.
Wow, I didn't expect to see an 1876-CC in this thread!
Sample of 20 Cent patterns.
OMG ... My Mother was Right about Everything!

I was about to fall in love but then I noticed the doubling is almost worn off. What the point of a variety if the attribution is worn away.
Almost like buying a no date 1918/7

Great 20 cent pieces everyone!

I’ve acquired a few more of these since I posted my type coin in this thread five years ago. It’s an interesting niche of seated coinage.
The CC is the coolest business strike issue, IMO. This one is 64 CAC, and has a very cool die crack across the top of TWENTY on the reverse.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
I've had 3 and still maintain one for my 7070.
