So jealous! I don't think I've ever had heart palpatations whilst reading a post. Have fun! Seriously...just opening the bag would be fun! Searching would be heavenly! Cheers and good luck!  |

A friend, and fellow CCF member (mysterious_dr_x) came over last night, and we ripped through an entire $20 sack. The sack was packed tight, almost like it was dumped from a tube. Almost no coins with mint worker fingerprints (from the riddler) and no toning - the bag was stored in a low humidity environment, and hardly ever moved.
Found about 15 coins that were ICCS MS-65 candidates, one MS-65 Cameo candidate, one clipped coin, some die clashes and a good handful of Doubled 0 varieties, a few Doubled 60 and one Doubled 960 variety. I stopped pulling the MS-64 coins aside once I had a tube full - that should keep me in coin show inventory for eternity. I'll post some pictures if I can tonight...
If the CCF hosts want a couple of BU red rolls from this bag for their 2014 FUN show table, let me know....

Don't tell us that you do not sleep much!! You are right, I don't need much sleep... it helps get stuff done! Coins are only a small part of my life...

SPP do you ever consider setting one small bag aside,unopened,as a legacy for future collectors? Or do you believe there are enough unopened bags around that they will never become extinct?
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

From this bag, one of the three small bags is set aside... but, If I find coins struck by a cap in the second bag, you know that I'll rip open the third bag in a heartbeat!!

A friend, and fellow CCF member (mysterious_dr_x) came over last night, and we ripped through almost another entire $20 sack. Found 1 small clip, one double clip and a few more nice grades, including one MS-65 Cameo candidate... about another hour or so to go, to finish the sack.
I think I will be putting together some nice BU Red grading sets (MS-60 to MS-64) together and maybe selling some nice problem free (MS-62 to MS-63) examples of business strike heavy cameo coins to CCF members on the Buy/Sell/Trade forum - I guess it depends on demand...

You are getting a special set qbvbsite, in exchange for that awesome 1979 cent.
I will return your coins, and mail out the grading set to you, later this week.
