coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/01/2019 3:50 pm I guess I would rather collect something that is reality, rather than speculative. So I prefer die varieties. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/01/2019 5:53 pm I prefer the proof coins before the 1971 era. I don't like the look of the cameo on the post 1971 coins. I like the smoother cameos, not the rough looking ones that reminds me of shredded wheat. Also the spagetti hair on the Washington quarters. The frosting on the newer cameos, hides doubled die so much, you can miss them or not be impressed with them. Report this Post to the Staff

To say the least and as an illustrative example I would have never submitted this 1968-S 66 FS to the TPG seeing this following photo of its steps: One can find this disturbing example below and recall how many times an expensive one fell through the cracks only because the perceived difference between that of 'what it is' vs 'what it should be' is not clearly understood at all. This FS sold for only $ 3737. :( https://coins.ha.com/itm/jefferson-...itage-081514 I would like an explanation as to why this example passed the criteria to be a FS. And have the rules changed over time in terms of allowing a FS designation? Edited by mdpmedia 09/01/2019 10:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
