An overdate with different looks from different angles, CC DMPL NEWP

blu62vetteblu62vette Posts: 11,968 ✭✭✭✭✭
I am going to call this a NEWP today, but in reality I cam to terms with a board member on a tough coin that I will take some time to pay off.

The coin is pretty cool and when playing with some closeups yesterday I thought it was real interesting to see what different looks show on the coin. The shots are just different light angles and the changes they make to the look of the coin.

The coin is a 1880-CC 80/79 rev of 78 in PCGS 63DMPL CAC. It is a tough coin to find in DMPL, I have only seen a couple before. One being the higher grade one belonging to the forum member I purchased it from.

I welcome any comments on the coin and images or anything else.

Image #1: This closeup has a look I really like as it shows the die polish and the very obvious overdate.

image

Image #2: This shows the more DMPL look of the overdate and is more obvious that something is also sticking out from the first 8 towards the one.

image

Image #3: This shows some of the mirror and again points out the overdate quite well. My least favorite of the closeups.

image

Image #4: Full coin with closeup. Someone at the LB show described it as a DCAM DMPL. Based on his set that was a nice compliment.

image

Image #5: Full coin with less contrast but shows the diagonal die polish look. I am a real sucker for die polish!!!

    His doesn't help me at all! Plus I need one for the DMPL set. He has one or more and I think one is the nice toner, now PCGS ex GSA.

    Wow - nice coin Todd. That's tough.

    DMPLs are becoming tougher and tougher to find in PCGS. PLs too.

    Nice.
    A very seldom seem coin in DMPL, plus a killer strike and overdate details that scream out like neon lights because of all the frost.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Todd, great coin, Denis H is correct, the overdate just jumps out at you.

    Nice cameo DMPL with the frosted overdate jumping right out at you underneath the date. PCGS has only graded 38 DMPL's with this overdate and 78 die reverse, making it a tough one find for sure.
    It really makes a nice addition to your Registry Set which now sits in 9th place image

    I know the current 9,10,11 sets have been flip flopping around quite a bit lately.

    Very nice coin and the overdate is really clear. Although, I do not know what that is protruding from the first 8. Almost looks like the top of a 1.... interesting... Cheers, RickO

    Congrats, Todd! You're right, that VAM is really tough to find in DMPL.

    Coin has great contrast. The mint mark is clearly visable. Sweet addition to the set, worth the time and investment.

    For obvious reasons yours shows the same die polish as mine. Love that look.
