The 1870-S and 1902 were my grandmother's graduation gifts in 1914. I inherited them when she passed in 1976. I would like to have seen the 1902 when it was first struck, as the surfaces are somewhat reflective, rather than the usual satin surfaces.
I purchased this 1847 PCGS XF45 in a Teletrade auction in 2000, and have always felt that it was undergraded.

Lowly VF20...but a nice Dahlonega none the less.
That obverse looks a lot better than a 20.

I’m a little too lazy to go back and look and see if I have already posted this, if I have, forgive me, but I bought this back in 2020 and I consider this the most undergraded coin in the collection:

Honestly, as much as I love the holder, and as little as the price increases, for me to crack that holder, I would literally have to be guaranteed a 67 which, of course, this is not… But a gold bean would look nice on the holder!
Maybe one of these days I’ll send it over… But no, I will most certainly preserve that holder. That’s actually the reason I bought the coin was because it was in one of the gold foil fatty’s. And the holder is like perfect no scratches at all to speak of.
Comments
My two cents: Planchet mark/defect not removed during the strike due to the incuse design.
QE’s are special:
Especially like the Classic Head design + NO gold!

Absolutely phenomenal coin.

Nice thread, I only found it about a year ago.
There is something very special about these little QE's
@D808LF Can't get enough of that nice New Orleans gold. Looks really good what you have there!

Honestly, this is probably the denomination that I have the most examples of outside of perhaps Morgan’s…
