got mine today...look good, not pits, no milk spots, no dings but they weren't in the slots

Hard to tell in the pics....do the reverse proofs still have heavy die striations?

Edited to add: Nice coins too! Glad you got them and are happy with them. Still waiting for my 2nd (or is it 3rd?) batch to come in (had friend order them for me).

I really like the look of the reverse proofs. I didn't think I would based on the images I'd seen, but in-hand they are exceptionally attractive.

yeah, I aint much in the pic department.....the finish looks very smooth and even. I give em a 70 if I could tell the difference between a 69 and a 70

the MS has a little shiny spot between the rays

I've got a RP68 that I could give you in place of your commission if you really want

if you could definitely tell the difference between 69 and 70 you would be a millionaire (maybe a thousandaire)

Ok, on this one, I can comment.....I sent in 4 OPENED Reverse proofs (ie...I could ID them). I also sent in 5 unopened sets.
All together in a larger box.

I got 1 RP Pr70 from the opened ones and 1 from the unopened ones. I got some RP Pr69 and some RP Pr69.
There are some of them that you can't tell any different from the 68-69-70 and especially the 68-69 or the 69-70 (yes, there are some of the RP Pr68 that you can).

So, good luck telling the difference.

nice coins and nice pics. my submission ran the gammut. 1 68, 2 69`s and 1 70 on the reverse proofs....... all had the "straitions" (or whatever the spelling is), it must be something with the planchet?

I promise to give that idea all of the consideration that it merits.

I would vote for the SAE reverse proof as the most difficult coin to photograph. I wonder if the expert photographer's agree. None of them seem to have posted a photo yet--or did I miss it? --Jerry

The Reverse Proof is definately a coin I would hope to see on more coins in the future.....

I consider Russ one of the "expert" photographers when it comes to coins.....he took a pic that is of a coin in his auction right now (mine, which is why I am not posting a link or the pic itself). You can go take a look and judge for yourself if you want.
