Thaos are so beautiful!

PQueue · July 14, 2011 3:07AM

Very, very, very nice, regardless of grade. PR66 and PR 65.

erickso1 · July 14, 2011 3:08AM

Never seen ones like that, and don't know much about them except to say they look awesome.

Broadstruck · July 14, 2011 7:21AM

Thanks renomedphys as your tears are greatly appreciated!

And I believe I might hate you.

devious · July 14, 2011 8:46AM

I'd say both are 66s. And I really like the quarter!!! Yes please!

llafoe · July 14, 2011 8:48AM

<< 65
64 >>

LindeDad · July 14, 2011 8:53AM

A couple of patterns that sure were ahead of their time for artistic merit and blow away what we ended up with as circulations coins.
I will go with PR66 for both.

JRocco · July 14, 2011 8:56AM

I think I hate him too...
Those are beautiful patterns.
I say both are 65's

lkeigwin · July 14, 2011 9:38AM

Drop dead gorgeous, BS! Love them. The designs are wonderful too, but that quarter is simply spectacular. PR66 for both.

Wow thankfully I'm not doing a poll on folks that love or hate me?

They are gorgeous but there is no room for a mint mark. Artistic talent is above board
with a new Miss Liberty (model) on the half. I do prefer these over the presidents heads.

Are they for sale?

Manorcourtman · July 14, 2011 11:32AM

Me Lovey!!!!

JustMe2 · July 15, 2011 12:23PM

Is that a fingerprint on the back of the quarter?

CommemDude · July 16, 2011 3:42AM

I have seen these in hand and the coins just speak for themselves, they are gorgeous and undergraded.

DorkGirl · July 16, 2011 6:00AM

I just had to stop in and see them again. Those 2 are just awesome.

And yes, I do hate you.

Broadstruck · July 16, 2011 11:29PM

I posted these in regards to member Coins911 question "will you pay a premium for a coin that is NOT copper in an OGH or rattlers?"

Thanks for all your guesses as here are the final GTG results -

Quarter =

66

Half =

And the actual PCGS grades below...

breakdown · July 16, 2011 11:33PM

Just lovely and it goes without saying, they look under graded. I am probably in the minority, but I prefer the 50 cent piece.

llafoe · July 16, 2011 11:45PM

WT...!!!!!

Might be time to resubmit?

Broadstruck · July 16, 2011 11:52PM

<< WT...!!!!!

Although not a plastic pansy I have absolutely no desire to loose the 1ST Generation Rattler holder on this pair.

Broadstruck · July 16, 2011 11:57PM

<< Just lovely and it goes without saying, they look under graded. I am probably in the minority, but I prefer the 50 cent piece. >>

Thanks breakdown I prefer the half myself...

Here's some crude 6-7 year old pics which show the reverse of the half at an angle and it's just totally dreamy

kryptonitecomics · July 17, 2011 12:01AM

Wonderful coins regardless of the grades but they do look better than 63's for what it worth

Beautiful!....BUT now you need to get the dime pattern to match...is there a matching dollar pattern as well? Well done!

Broadstruck · July 17, 2011 1:01AM

<< Beautiful!....BUT now you need to get the dime pattern to match...is there a matching dollar pattern as well? Well done! >>

There are no Standard Silver $1 patterns and I've never seen a dime that matched the toning of these.

devious · July 17, 2011 1:25AM

Fooled me! Those are really great and a nice pair to have.

lkeigwin · July 17, 2011 5:23AM

Go for the gold, BS! Sticker, that is.
Lance.

TomB · July 17, 2011 7:14AM

I didn't guess because I already knew the grades. Are the pieces hairlined a bit? That would most likely explain the grades. As for the OGH/rattler debate, I also have plenty of uber-cool coins in these holders.

TomB, I'll show em to you in person at an upcoming show.

kaz · July 17, 2011 9:28AM

I had missed this thread completely, those are just spectacular patterns, I don't care what the "official" grade is, I am as dumbstruck as renomedphys when he forgot how to spell "those."
