Quote:I do actually, but I'm considering breaking it up. I have barely any complete (just the 30's, some 40's) and a lot of it is in rough shape. If I do decide to continue the album, I want some better coins  . For now, I may just focus on varieties. I can understand that. I guess you're looking for these: https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/was...eties-768259 Many years ago, I focused on completing a set 1932-1980, all AU or better. Not Varieties. I had a 39-S DDO in my album for many years and didn't know it! That's embarrassing! It came out of a straight graded PCGS MS64 slab. I never even thought of doubling checking it until recently, when I started looking much closer at my coins! Makes me wonder if the submitted or PCGS knew or even cared. The moral of my story is; check and double check your coins for varieties and errors. Edited by USSID18

I am always looking for the big 5: The 1934, 1937, 1942-D, 1943, and the 1943-S DDOs. I also search far and wide for the 1936 FS-101, 1942 FS-104, and multiple other CPG (cherrypicker's guide) varieties. I cherry-picked the 1942-D FS-101 a while ago in XF, and sold it. Now I am hunting down the other biggies-which I plan to keep this time. The 1939-S DDO you mentioned: Which DDO was it? I would certainly be surprised but also happy if I discovered a DDO in my collection I didn't know about. Did you hang on to it? Sorry for such a long reply-I got carried away listing my most-wanted quarter varieties  . Thanks again! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

It came out of this one:  I submitted it and it came back in this one. I probably should have sent it back to PCGS. I was disappointed with the grade.  Oh well.   |

Nice! At least you noticed the variety and got it correctly attributed, although it is a shame it got a grade lower. Cool coin never the less!
Edit: you could probably cross it over for a smaller fee than a crackout/re-slab, but you risk getting the same grade again.

I know, I thought about that. We'll see. Edit: I'm still looking for a MS 39-S to fill the empty hole! Edited by USSID18

Is the '39-S a tough coin to find in MS? I thought the later 30's weren't too difficult to find in MS......but maybe I'm wrong.  This is why I stick to varieties Edit: looking at mintage (2.6 million) I can see why it would be a tough coin. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

No, they're out there. The ones I'm seeing are MS65, 66 & 67's. I don't want to pay $250 or $400. I'm looking for a lower graded MS60, 61, 62 or 63. I don't want to pay much more then $100. I'm just waiting for the right one to come along.
Edit: Most of the ones I see, seem to be high grades.

Do you search ebay? There might be an example you can find there for not too much. If I happen to come across an example (that's not going to break the bank) sometime that I think you might be interested in, do you want me to PM you? I do frequent ebay searches and I can keep an eye out for you. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

Thanks! I'm watching ebay as well. I have a few I'm watching. I just need the right looking coin at the right price. If you happen to see anything you could PM me or post it here. I subscribed to your thread. Thanks! |

Yes, I'm watching that auction to see what it goes for. I usually purchase "Buy it now". Surprisingly, I've contacted sellers in the past and have offered less and many have accepted my offer. I'm looking at prices close to Gray Sheet.
