NH collector Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 12/28/2016 10:36 am Does anyone have a copy of Stacks Auction catalog of Oct. 16, 1990 (Lovejoy collection) ? I need a description of lot 89 (1828 Dime). My question is: Was it in a TPG holder, if so what TPG ? Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 12/28/2016 8:58 pm Is this the JR-1 proof, ex: Merkin/Ahwash/Lovejoy (sold @ $7.1k) that was resold at B&M in '92 2 years after the Stacks Lovejoy sale? The Lovejoy JR-1 was a no-sale as a raw proof when offered as part of Benson II in 2002, and it was a raw coin when offered by Stacks in 1990. The coin was graded as a PR63 at the time by both Goldberg in 2002 and Stacks in 1990. If it was in a TPG holder, neither one seems to mention it, and Goldberg is pretty clear that it's a raw coin. To the best of my knowledge it's still one of five known, with most people being of the opinion that Pogue's 1828 is not a true proof strike but a prooflike business strike (NGC said MS65*PL and PCGS said MS65+, for what they're worth.)

NH collector Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 12/29/2016 2:24 pm Paralyse, Yes, same coin. It was in a holder at Lovejoy sale and B&M sale. Benson cracked it out and resubmitted it for a better grade. Came back unholdered. Benson failed to keep the TPG insert from the holder. Current TPG'ers will not certify it "Proof". It was a no sale in B&M and Benson sales. Both sales included the dime with the 1828 Proof Quarter, both from the Cleanay sale of 1890. Report this Post to the Staff

Not anywhere near affordable for me but someday...
