All from N ...

1904 ten centavo crossed to MS 67

My 1909-S 10 centavo in MS 62 didn't cross.

a 1915-S ten centavo crossed and up-graded from MS 61 NGC to MS 62 PCGS

a 1909-S fifty centavo in Ms 62 just crossed to MS 62 PCGS

And in the Spanish Philippines a 1968 20 centavo -- a beaut in MGC 65 crossed to MS 64+ PCGS

This does support my belief that buying the coin not the plastic -- and "paying through the nose" for great quality -- ultimately means buying cheap. And it's fun.

I now have a friend who can take good pictures. I haven't ever tested her on coin pictures, but I'm sure she'll be able to do them. Then if I can ever figure out how to post pic's, I will. In the meantime ...

Best wishes from Chiang Mai where I'm on vacation,

Just Having Fun

Dear Jet Black:

Well, you have a fine eye for really, really rare coins. And yes, they're for sale. So, if you want to make an offer, please feel free. If you are willing to pay up for the best of the rarest, you can gobble them up.

And for that matter, you can gobble up any coin in my US Philippine collection -- as long as you do it before I give it away to my kids to salt away for a decade. That will happen by the end of the year.

But note: if you're tempted to make a low-ball offer hoping I'll meet you in some middle, don't bother. It won't happen.

When I sold my #1 Roosie dime collection, I reserved the beautiful, rare full-band roosies in 68 for 3 to 7 times catalog. $20k for a coin cataloging for $2,500. Some thought I was crazy, but I didn't care. I was just having fun. And the funny thing is that, with one exception, they all sold at my asking price or higher. For the last coin, I have a collector trying to accumulate the money for it. Good luck.

Dear Filam:

Thanks very much for your very kind offer. As soon as I have some pic's, I'll start forwarding them to you.

I also had a couple of PCGS 67s upgrade to 68s, including one great peso. I'll tell you, they are spectacular in any slab, but somehow they look even more beautiful in a 68 slab.

Warm regards,

Just Having Fun
