Baltimore Grades in !!!

crypto79 · December 28, 2011 8:27AM

While I am very happy with my grade which were all one grade lower than I thought except one which was higher I am most excited at the fact that all 4 came back in the new PCGS prong holders which are a first for me. I love the holders and put PCGS back into my favorite physical type of holder status. Well done PCGS on the simple redesign.

My Grades for those who care

1874s Bought raw off ebay = XF40
1875p regrade= XF45 1st Reverse
1876p bought Raw off ebay = PF58
1877p bought raw off ebay = VF35 DDO

Well Done!

Everything going into a holder is great!
But what series are we talking about here?

Trade dollars of course but my main point was the all pronged holders that came back.

A proof 58 - wow - well done! Was it cherry pick?

kaz · December 28, 2011 9:54AM

Nice!!

AnkurJ · December 28, 2011 10:04AM

Nicely done!

Nice Crypto, I especially like the look of that 76 Proof, a really nice circulated look. I've read that many took their proof sets and immediately spent the trade dollars as they weren't very well liked back then. This explains why you will come across proof trade dollars more often then other coins.

Question, did you have to request the new prong holder, or are they doing this for all newly holdered coins? I'm about to receive my first, an indian quarter eagle I picked up on BST, which is a great coin to put in a pronged holder.

And by the way, its not really fair that you have two 77p DDO's when some of us don't even have one yet. ;-)

I hoped for the pronged holder but didn't request or mention them
Old thread on the Ebay Auction score for the 1876 Proof, note the mixed and matched Obv traits

I love the look of that 76 - absolutely gorgeous. I don't think I have ever seen one with that much eye appeal.

blu62vette · December 28, 2011 11:43AM

Nice job!!!

MilkmanDan · December 28, 2011 12:06PM

Did they mark any attribution for the 76 PF on the holder, since it's a special combination of types? I'm guessing no, since we can't even get obv/rev types for regular strikes.

Goldbully · December 28, 2011 12:09PM

Great job John, that 1876 is awesome......beautiful!!!!!

I begged PCGS to mark the 76p as a special OBV but they declined and it's not true PCGS just started attributing Hub type a year ago or so and I just got my first one slabbed and it happens to be one of the 2 R7 keys. Esp now they are doing the proged holders I will submit my set to be labeled once they fix the complete Trade $ Registry set .

There are many errors in it
1- No 1875s type 2 Obv
2- No 1876p type 2 Obv, 2nd Rev
3- There is no such thing as a1878-s DDR FS-802, The CPG just use a picture of a different part of the FS-801 coin

Also the weights are a little off IMO

That 1876 is fantastic.....that is what a lightly circulated coin should look like.

You have a great eye for coins!!!

Thanks for posting the photo of the proof - it looks like a medal!!

DIMEMAN · December 28, 2011 1:08PM

Neat....I love varieties!

LotsoLuck · December 28, 2011 1:20PM

Man that 1876 is tasty!

Sweet, didn't know that! I'm betting you may ask for a re-grade on your 78-CC when you re-submit. My info was a little outdated, I was just reading an old thread where you, among others were pining for attribution of the obv/rev types. Great to hear that they're doing that now, since the different types are so obvious and there are very few to keep track of. Hopefully the pop reports will become fairly accurate over time. Lots of pop 1 coins for you, at least at first. ;-)

Ok, that's why I haven't been able to find any evidence of the 78-s FS-802. I've studied what to look for with every other variety as I familiarize myself with this set, but I could never find an example of this one. Makes more sense now.

Congrats...
