OK, at the last Baltimore show I dropped off a number of coins - mainly British shilling VIP Proof rarities of the 20th C. but as a sidenote dropped off two Libertads.
Anything special? Well, yes and no.
Back in the 90s to early 2000's I would go to that same show and each time I went I would get 1 or 2 SAE uncirculated from each year but then would also generally get a Libertad from each year. Well, I was looking back through my "stack" (I HATE that term) and saw that I had one each of the 1997 and 1998 years as well as two 1999s.
Each year I used to carefully handpick these.
Well, long story short, I submitted the two earlier Libertads and they just issued the grades. I had bought these at issue time for about 6.00 dollars, but now each. came back MS 69!! Yay, team...

I know, without pictures this thread is useless but will post them as an add=on later today. Sorry as my vision is terrible and have to have cataract surgery on both eyes shortly....

Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
Well, just Love coins, period.

    I remember getting a 1986 proof for $6.00 at the Colorado Springs coin show because Tom Hallenbeck didn’t know what it was. (Maybe it was $3.00? Whatever it was, it was cheap!)

    Yes, I suspect the 99s will grade well also. A lot more fun to get these coins back then!
    Good job on the '86!

    Here is the '98, but the pictures of the TrueView makes it look terrible:

    OK, so congrats on those grades, gonna do quite well dollar-wise which I'm ALL about.

    I assure you that the coin is wonderful in hand and don't understand how the spotting is showing. Let's see if I send the Truview number; that was a screen shot. Also, I will try to get the 1997 up here:

    Verification numbers at PCGS:
    1997. 59340031
    1998. 59340032

    I do have my eyes failing and am due for cataract surgery to both soon, really hard to see.
