DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 4:44 pm Here is another 5 cent silver acquired in the 80's. Had to show the right side and then the left of the REV because the 2 sheets of plastic were not co-operating for focusing purposes.. I'm hoping that my digital micro (soon) will still capture the beauty of these little coins. Report this Post to the Staff

glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 6:01 pm WOW, what a beauty! I'm guestimating an MS-63 with a re-punched 9? Though coin to find in MS grade and highly inderrated. I'm shocked that trends aren't higher on this dat, I've had my AU-58 for the past 15 years and finding it near impossible to upgrade. The one you have here is a strong strike and has gorgeous toning!

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 9:08 pm Thanks Glenn... I did not know that about the strike ....and I will post a proper pic soon of the 9 which you feel is re-punched. ICCS'd a long time ago at 62. Greatly appreciate any info such as what Glenn has just added. Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/14/2013 09:35 am Seriously..? You've spent 15+ years trying to up-grade from an ICCS 58.. and haven't been able to...Yikes..!! I had the opportunity to see 1 1889 and I bought it. Never had the opportunity to compare it to any other 89 then or since. Where are are any of the 1889 gems hiding? Come on 5 cent silver collectors ...post any 89 5 cent pieces here...!! Report this Post to the Staff

jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 7:52 pm Glen, I completely agree with you on there not being many high grade 1889's out there, due to budgetary issues, I generally buy coins for my collection raw, and I've only come across a couple 1889's that were solid XF's or better raw... I also think the 1887 is another deceptively difficult 5 cent to pick up in higher grades...
