Just won this at Great Collections on Sunday. Getting closer to having my slider set where I want it.
It’s supposed to show up today, but FedEx is apparently taking it on a tour of the western US. shrug

I don't really collect Jeffersons, but I bought this one out of curiosity. There are only 56 prooflikes for the years 1971-2003, and 50 of them are 1998-D. The others are 1989-P, 1994-D, 1999-D, and 2001-D, all with just one coin graded, and the 1992-D, which has 2 coins, both MS64.
Countdown to completion of my Mercury Set: 1 coin. My growing Lincoln Set: Finally completed!12 -

New Commemoratives to my collection:Marcin, Nice group of classic commems.
Just a suggestion, but if you want your coins presented in order, (to represent the full obverse holder shot, the obverse of the coin and then the reverse of the coin), upload the pictures individually in the order you want. This will make a cleaner presentation and your coins won’t look mixed up. May take a few minutes longer, but presents much better.

Most recent purchase.The bands look more FB than a lot of them that I've seen that received the FB designation.
Whether or not, it is a great looking coin.

@WAYNEAS, hey thanks Wayne. So after I purchased this Merc., I did a bit of searching for full band examples and found many that were labeled FB on this date and MM and other dates too, were fully split bands. But, as you stated also, there were those that were questionable that got the FB designation. So maybe send it back to our hosts for reconsideration?

I just liked it. The GC image is just as a good as a TrueView, and will be used as one for this coin, which doesn't have one/

Well not really. Not that it’s not a nice SLQ. But it lacks 2 of the 3 qualifications for FH designation. No defined hairlines and no sprigs. Barely an ear hole, so no not close to full head.

Zack.Yes, you’re right. Maybe 50%? But it’s close enough that it doesn’t detract from the overall look, IMO, unlike some flatter heads that draw your eye.

One of my favorite overdates, along with the 17/3… nice pick up!

Zack.I can't remember why I had you on "hide," so I decided to take a look at what you had to say. Thanks for reminding me why I had you on "hide," Sunshine!

Go ahead. If you pay a big premium, they won't get melted.

Got one of these for submitting 100 to PCGS for a collector who obviously made a good choice of which banks to hit.

Another summer FUN show pickup:
This may become a GREAT buy. The seller was frustrated about not getting a “+” upgrade (he did get a bean which I haven’t photographed yet). My question to him was “why isn’t this a RD”? He said it could be, but the 1868’s often have a “dark” sheen on the rev that causes the TPG’s to grade it RB. In hand, this coin absolutely looks full RD! Both sides. Maybe someday (& a + grade) which would make it a $50-60k coin. I only paid RB $$$ at its current grade level. Stunning eye appeal in hand & very, very lustrous!
Finally, yet another abysmal TV:
I have no idea what this coin is, except a random 1869 - it can’t be this one!

Not a "new" buy, got it last year but it was in a really beat up non vintage holder so I got it re-holdered and it came with a TV, my 1917 DDO Lincoln, one mint state wheat left for the set (1922 no D die pair 2 to replace my current XF).
