You totally suck, Earl, on that 5C. I have been looking for one of those since I was aware of it and no dice. Must have literally looked at a thousand of that date so far. I know some gal had a roll of them too! Do you have a nice shot of the left obverse field?

MrSpud · January 20, 2007 1:12PM

Nice. Coincidently, I cherrypicked 2 of the same 21-Ds, Capped R and the die break in denticles one, on E-bay this weekend.

eyoung429 · January 20, 2007 2:49PM

Will get you some pics in a few on the 5C.

I know that I have been looking for the 5C for a while and lucked out....this is a min 63 shot 64.

BTW....what letter is this? There is no mention of clash....but letter in neck and wreath behind hat

Is the reverse clashed? If so, look where the neck clash comes up to the motto from the right wing.

<< <i>good deal!! what grades? >>

Hard to be sure from the pics, which is also why not too many people competed with me. The capped R is brownish toned in one of those NNC slabs saying MS65. Most likely anywhere from AU to MS63. The die break in denticles appears to be a 62 or 63, but might turn out to be AU.

Good one, Dave.

As for the thousands, I really wonder how many times hundreds of the same ones were looked at. The funny thing is you get to be too familiar with some on the circuit after a while of many dates.

eyoung429 · January 21, 2007 1:01AM

Dave,
Does your 5C have the clashes as well?? Can't tell from the pic.

Thanks,

BTW....Sweet 35!!!!

Across the Top of United States Of
From The Rim thru the top of the Wing

From the rim thru the top of M

Nice pickups guys. There was an attributed 1884-O VAM-35 in a PCGS MS65 rattler I grabbed a few years ago on eBay. An unappreciated vam at the time, it went
near common if you can believe that. Sold it for a nice profit, now I can't find another.
