I am stockpiling varieties. I buy these 5,000 count bags and take out all the varieties and sell them at a steady pace, but not too fast.... The rolls go quick as we run specials and are creative on the ways we offer rolled product. Many of our return customers are glad to take away BUNC straight from a mint sewn bag....Obtaining good quality mint sewn bags is getting tougher every year. I like to get them while I can, and get the return on investment over time. I can imagine what it would do if I all of a sudden dumped (400) 1959-D RPM's, (1000+) 1960-D RPM's, (40) 1972 DDO's and a wider lower count of RPMs from the 1960's to 1972 at rock botom prices - especially close to the holidays and then tell the TPG sites of the sales. That would put a dent in the celing hieghts of sales and future auctions as well. Edited by Collector-Corner

OK, for those that like to see Certification Numbers, here are the http://www.ANACS.com cert numbers, year, denomination, variety, die, and grade; 4982682 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS65 4982683 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS65 4982684 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS64 4982685 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS65 4982686 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS66 4982687 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS65 4982688 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS65 4982689 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS64 4982690 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS66 4982691 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS65 4982692 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS66 4982693 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS65 4982694 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS66 4982695 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS65 4982696 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS65 4982697 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS64 4982698 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS64 4982699 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS64 4982700 1972 1C DDO FS-103 DIE 3 MS63 I'll make it easier, here are the cert numbers in groups of ten, with spaces  4982701 4982700 4982699 4982698 4982697 4982696 4982695 4982694 4982693 4982692 4982691 4982690 4982689 4982688 4982687 4982686 4982685 4982684 4982683 4982682 Only one coin came back normal, which was not a 1972. I'll have to personally revisit that coin, because under the microscope at 20x I could see a large/smll date and clearly see doubling on some of the proof devices. I dunno how they missed it, but such is life. For now these sit in the King Kong safe and they will have to wait until I am through with the 1960-D bag. Edited by Collector-Corner

Good news is, when I look at population reports for MS66 and higher the numbers are quite low. You mean they were low...you are begining to flood the population report. I am not savy on the various DDO's of the 72-P LMC other than the BIG ONE.  Congrats all the same!  Edited by oih82w8

I had a "Big One" that I got really, really cheap at an auction site that was auctioning off an entire coin and pawn shop. I haggled with the agency and I was happy with the price and coin. I immediately turned around and gave it to a family member who is an avid Lincoln Cent Collector. Its ANACS graded as well. BUNC, I forget the actual grade. It actually filled the last vacant hole, and now they have moved on to 1909-1958. I'll go through the other 23-25 1972 DDO's and I will consider sending in more if I have any MS66's within the bunch. Having the higher MS coins graded and slabbed means the potential to get more for them is a possibility. It's more than a population report to me, its the basis of supply and demand of the DDO's that are out there. The 19 that I had sent in will only slightly dent the numbers, especially in the MS63 (1) and MS 64 (5) areas. The most affected was the MS65 (9) followed by the MS66 (4). ANACS numbers can be a pain to find, but I will see if I have time to see how high they are for this particular die. |

WOW in most cases, the FS103 is lower than the FS101 (The big one). (FS104... is the REALLY Big one $$$ wise) MS67 - 1972 DDO's - all varieties total = 5 via ANACS ( 0 FS-103) (2 FS-101) (0 FS-104) MS66 - 1972 DDO's - all varieties total = 110 via ANACS (18 FS-103) (25 FS-101) (11 FS-104) MS65 - 1972 DDO's - all varieties total = 603 via ANACS (242 FS-103) (81 FS-101) (86 FS-104) MS64 - 1972 DDO's - all varieties total = 880 via ANACS (328 FS-103) (205 FS-101) (131 FS-104) MS63 - 1972 DDO's - all varieties total = 447 via ANACS (114 FS-103) (171 FS-101) (36 FS-104) MS62 - 1972 DDO's - all varieties total = 201 via ANACS (38 FS-103) (102 FS-101) (3 FS-104) MS61 - 1972 DDO's - all varieties total = 46 via ANACS (10 FS-103) (20 FS-101) (1 FS-104) MS60 - 1972 DDO's - all varieties total = 198 via ANACS (18 FS-103) (160 FS-101) (0 FS-104) Edited by Collector-Corner

I'm not sure where you're getting your numbers, but there are DEFINITELY not over 250 FS-104s in Mint State! There are fewer than a dozen known (slabbed) in uncirculated grades by all TPGs.
Had this submission of FS-103s been sent to PCGS it certainly would have rocked the market, sending high grade coins spiraling down to a third of their current values or less (I've dispersed over a dozen hoards of BU FS Varieties). Being that they're in ANACS holders, it doesn't effect the market as much, as ANACS coins don't play much of a part in price trends.

Some may not get submitted as they are lower value coins. If a coin to me is not a $100+ coin, I would never submit it. So the 001 would be more often submitted because if you can get a higher grade, they will cash in. If they are not happy with the grade, some crack them out and re-submit them. When they get to the 66-70 grades the difference is often multiplied in value just going up one grade.
To me, I buy them raw and if they are graded, I only pay the raw price. I've owned about four graded coins so far. I have some I've should have submitted, but didn't. I would only buy a coin that is a higher dollar coin graded. So many counterfeit coins in the higher dollar range. But when buying: "Buy the coin, not the grade on the plastic." Not all coins are graded the same by different graders.

L&D - its right off the ANACS population sheets. Its right off their main page. Go have a look. I've done my research, I know where to send these in order to get a decent grade and get a decent price. I have a plan for these. Graded at MS66, they can be pricey. Even at MS65. I don't reveal the inner workings of the business but these will have a home soon. Coop - I understand about the Raw side of the house totally. When I go to show, and don't set up and I buy coins, I haggle prices all the time and get the best possible for what I am going after. This is a business and I work the other side when I need to. Making smart decisions and having a business plan that works is important. When I set up at shows, we try to center our tables on a few specific areas and it helps build trust to the collectors that come to the tables. I don't run a shady operation its all up front and honest. Soon, I hope to have a CPA certify what I have and then get PNG certified. For coins that are being sold, there are a FEW that I won't haggle over a grade and price. People are always looking for a deal and the people who want a coin of mine are going to pay a competitive price or they can find it some where else. Others, there may be room to haggle and break the ice and get the impulse buying going, but I think it requires both graded and ungraded to have a wider chance at being successful at a show. I know about grading the coin, not the holder - I have challenged a few TPG companies and asked them to certify that coins are graded the same way, with due care each time. They won't. People are human, and there are a lot of variables each day that may affect the mind and body, which may affect the grading of the coin as well. Yep, that's when a coin might be cracked out and sent back in. In the end, I am happy I did this, and I am sure these will get the recognition and home(s) they deserve rather than be trapped inside a mint sealed bag ! Edited by Collector-Corner

The ANACS pop report for the FS-104 has a total of 3 for all grades. Two are MS-65 and one is MS-64

My apologies. I did the " DDO" search and may have copied out the single line above the FS-104. I knew a few peeps with FS104's.... I don't know if they sent any into a TPG service. |

I only ask because I have owned or brokered 7 examples of '72 Die #4. I'm not confident, I'm certain the MS pops are a tiny, tiny fraction of hundreds.
Remember, this is a coin that brought $4,000 in AU58 (Teletrade) just a couple of years ago. It's come down a bit, but an MS example is worth thousands and always will be. It wouldn't be that way if there were hundreds of them in existence.

I've got 23 more of the DDO #3's....25 if I count the one I picked as mine, and my son has one. I'm probably going to ship these off as well and get them attributed and slabbed and have a good selection for 2014 and forward. Always good to have a wide selection around. Eh, I don't care if its a #4 or #3. One is CCW the other CW. Not that big a deal to me. My goal is to get a MS66 DDO#1 in due time I will. I am having a blast with these bags. I think one more bag (maybe a 1961-D or a 68-D) for around Christmas and then I'll focus on Morgan dollars and Mercury dimes. |

Here's a pic; http://www.minterrors.org/pictures/DSC06623.jpgI figured this way would be the best to show most of the coins off. I still have a whopping 23 other DDO's to consider sending in. It will depend on what I can pre-grade them as. If they have a possibility of coming back as MS64-65 with a couple pushing a 66, then I will do it. Another possibility is that we will use some of the raw ones in a promotion at the show(s), and try to move thr DDO's and rolls as well. Plenty of time to scratch me head and decide what path to take. Edited by Collector-Corner
