Thank you SsuperDdave for posting the pics. I'll leave it a few days until I get home and post pics of the slabs.

Oh dang! I might have to start collecting these.
I've found that PCGS slabs polish up quite nicely for photographs with that headlight polish stuff and a little elbow grease. Their softness also means they scuff the easiest, which isn't helped since the part of the slab with the coin is also the highest point. Polishing doesn't seem to help NGC slabs much. I've considered sending in some of my coins in older or scuffed slabs to be reholdered, since the edge-view slabs are a lot nicer anyway.

It was my intent to bring slab-polishing equipment, but I never really had the time to develop a proper technique. Hopefully that'll be fixed by the next show I manage to attend.

Great coins I will say MS-64 RB, MS-65 RB, MS-63 BN, MS-64 RB, MS-63 RB
Last one has really nice surfaces but I think the rim dings may keep him out of the higher grades

OK we will start with #3 my pics are not quite up to those of Mr SsuperDdave but they will do. I bought this because it appeared to be a KF-P11-RPD with the re-puched 1 showing just on the top And the Die crack across the ribbon as my markers. It however does not fit the other diagnostics upon checking my references. Either way its a very nice addition to my collection. PCGS Called it MS62BN and I would tend to agree.     |

Coin #1. this was my first and supposed to be my only purchase at the show. I think NGC goofed on this and I would call it 64 but then I buy the coin not the holder anyway.    |
