That is one tough coin. Your coin has one of the best strikes I have ever seen on this date. Great coin, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Becky

i did not know the 96-o had Breast feathers...!!!!!!!
i thought they where all weak strikes .. i jumped on it when i saw it

Dang, that's nice. As for the grade, if they can find any rub at all, it's going to be called AU58, even if it does look like a 62. Nice strike, too.

DorkGirl · May 28, 2005 3:35AM

Very nice jump

I once bought a BU roll because it had a 96-O in it. I was disappointed when I saw the strike, all mush. I would take your coin any day of the week.

Now, where are the pics of the 86 and the 94? Are they as nice as your 96?

Dave:

VERY nice coin. Looks like it has way more lustre and eye appeal than most MS61s and 62s.

semolinapilchard · May 28, 2005 3:57AM

I think it is very nice. It appears to have the luster of an AU coin, though, so I think AU58 is about right.

BIGDAVE · May 28, 2005 4:01AM

Here is the 94- o PCGS Au58

<<< VERY nice coin. Looks like it has way more lustre and eye appeal than most MS61s and 62s. >>>

Yes, as is the case with the 96-O, the 84-S, the 95-O, the 01-P ,and a few other key dates, the slider AU's are typically nicer overall looking coins than the much higher priced low grade uncs. The services are also not consistent in grading these, as I've seen more than a few 1884-S coins go from AU58 to MS60 or MS61 on resubmittals.

Very Nice!

Very nice 96-O!!

I picked up a raw one a few years back as an XF-45. ANACS liked it enough to drop it into a AU-58 slab, but it doesn't look as nice as that!!!

segoja · May 28, 2005 4:09AM

That is a nice 96-O.

This date is not impossible with full breast feathers.

I had a DMPL piece about 10 years ago that had full breast feathers. Leroy Van Allen had one at the same time also DMPL that had full feathers.

None the less this is a great AU+++++ example. I'll take ten of these before a railroaded strictly BU example.

BIGDAVE · May 28, 2005 4:10AM

It is toned Golden around the outside edge.... I think it is AU58 ++++++ 58 is to low on this coin

BIGDAVE · May 28, 2005 4:21AM

Does someone have a 1896-o pcgs ms60 or ms61 they can post a picture of???

DorkGirl · May 28, 2005 4:41AM

Here's a 62....MS62

Here's a MS60

Still like yours better

ms70 · May 28, 2005 5:06AM

That's a nice coin.

wam98 · May 28, 2005 9:28AM

Here's a ANACS AU-53. A lot less coin than yours BIGDAVE. That looks like a nice one.

BAJJERFAN · May 28, 2005 9:29AM

That is a NICE 58 Dave!! Congrats.

BigDave:

I think there are some dates that you have to see in hand and this is one of them. The pictures look outstanding and if the coin in hand looks like the picture, then 58 is a tad too conservative... even for my taste. WELL DONE. CONGRATS.

edited to add: for the date, I think the lustre is about as good as it gets.

BIGDAVE · May 28, 2005 10:27AM

coinkat

I tried everywhere to sell all my dupes ..i wanted your 79-cc instead i got these

coinkat · May 28, 2005 10:36AM

The 79-CC was sold earlier today and it was slabbed by PCGS about 8-9 years ago. It is a quality coin and you picked up some quality coins too so you did well.
