Not gonna lie I completely misread that 1913 T1 as MS61, that's insane. MS67 is just incredible. Talk about an insane quality coin. The rest of the set is great as well. I had originally considered going for a MS67 just so I could have both of my Buffalo nickel type coins in 67 but the $500 jump I couldn't justify. It's one thing to spend $500 more to go from AU to Unc, but to go from 66 CAC to 67, I just can't see that being worth it. Edited by GrapeCollects

@ Grape. Totally agree, while the 13 T1 is one of my favorites, especially a well struck example, I don't think I'd ever pay 67 money. I got this one in a 66 holder hoping it would upgrade, which it did!
My goal is to complete the set, probably upgrade the ANACS Philis as I go, and then once complete, start upgrading some of the D and S ANACS slabs.

Great set. Some coins have a nice cameo look to them (1928-D, 1934-D, 1937-S, 1938-D).

@Ty2020b, that is a fantastic set! I believe that the hardest 20th Century collection is a Buff set ticking off these four criteria:  Matching EDS/EMDS die states, Well struck, AU or better, and minimal clashing and die polishing. I've been at this for about half a century and have never been able to complete a date-and-mint set meeting those criteria for any of my clients. Even excluding the 1916 DDO and 1918-D/1917-D DDO, and multiple amputated leg Buffs, some dates are impossible to find matching the four criteria. Notorious condition rarities like 1921-S and 1926-S are set stoppers. Notoriously poorly struck dates like 1924-D and 1926-S are set stoppers. Other dates are almost exclusively known with mismatched dies. Other dates have been clashed and polished to death, and finding any non-polished-die example is a Herculean feat. Keep up the hunt. You are well on the way. I'd love to see updates on this thread as you continue your hunt. Go get 'em! |
