NewP: nicely struck 19-D buff (Posting revived w/ new pic 1 year later)

I re-shot this for a posting last night. Having discovered a better lighting source, the pics now come out substantively better and give a much more realistic picture of the coin. This one came out so much better I couldn’t help reviving the posting with the new picture.


Foiled for my hunt for better date AU buffs at Baltimore, I picked this up today at the tiny
Leesburg VA show. While the 19-D may be overrated as a conditional rarity, I was thrilled to say
the least when I stumbled across this. Let me know what you think.

    Very, very nice. Terrific D-mint! About as nice for AU as you'll find.

    I wonderful example of one of the best looking coins the US Mint ever produced.

    Nice find!

  • The 19-D being a strike rarity is one of the biggest myths!

    This one supports the statement. Nice coin.

    What was your old and new lighting source?
    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    yes. Sorry if there was confusion. The color was always there, just my crappy photo skills produced a very brown picture first time around. The coin did not turn that color in the album. As far as the lighting source I don't know one lamp from another. The first pic was with a lamp with your standard light bulb maybe a foot away. The 2nd pic was in the kitchen with the overhead lights in many kitchens. For the 1st pic, the slab was just laying flat on my dresser. In the 2nd pic the album is titled a tad.

    Nice strike with a somewhat split tail too... there's so many MS63 & 4's that can't lay a finger on your AU! image
