Tequila Sunrise without the star .....NEWP inside

One of the perks of being a part time/wannabe dealer is that sometimes you get a hold of a coin and it speaks to you and says don't sell me knucklehead. Usually I don't listen as the extra money from coin sales help me live in the lap of luxury.....I can have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches whenever I want these days image


When Tequila Sunrise arrived in the mailbox today I opened up my box of twenty and placed her right in........ok so I don't have a box of 20 but you get the idea. As is typically the case the coin has that early S mint semi-PL surfaces that make the color really pop off the fields so it's a real keeper for me image

Yes another example for me that is fully deserving of a star but somehow the experts at NGC couldn't agree so I will just have to settle for a coin with less eye appeal image


So what do my forum buddies think of her???

    I was the underbidder on that beauty!

    I watched it all week, snipe in play.

    The seller's photos were ultra dark and not that good, but just enough to show that neat red toning.

    LOOKS MUCH BETTER than I thought it would!

    You definitely scored and now I'm officially jealous.

    I am not suprised you were a bidder...we have the same taste in coins....I wonder who won the 1882-S PCGS MS65 Rattler earlier today....I was the high bidder with 3 minutes left and the bid jumped $250 bucks which put it just over mine...I bid another $70 over that and still got outbid by $400 bucks image

    Nice colors Shane! image

    So, if this is a Tequila sunrise, I'd be intrigued to see what your other mixed drinks are. image I'm guessing the one drink you wouldn't have (or maybe just a couple) is a shot of vodka...

    Wasn't me.

    It sounds strange, but as I don't have a decent way of storing rattlers I usually don't bid on them.

    I know that's kind of an embarrassing admission (heck, we're all family here, right?) but it's sadly true.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    That's gorgeous. It's nice to see just what makes it into the keeper pile from your collection.
    You always have a nice selection of morgans that don't make the cut.

    Thank you...when I picked this one up I was pretty sure it wasn't leaving but I have let a few slip through that I know I could never replace for double what I sold them for so every once in a while I just have to let my collecting side boss me around image
