Continuing List To Show Everyones Latest Acquisitions

I take no responsibility. It is "AI", or lack thereof, in my notebook.


Now that you mentioned it, I can't unsee it!

Spell check would not catch that (tanks)

Thanks, Hokiefan!

Outstanding!

After a bit of a slow period, I'm back to upgrading some of my classic commemoratives in my complete set. As I've mentioned before, my primary objective is to upgrade any example which is of a lower grade than MS65; now I'm down to only 5 remaining to complete that goal.

The first addition was the toughest one I had remaining, a Lafayette dollar. The one in my collection I'd purchased at the Houston Money Show in 2014 and was a NGC MS61. It's an attractive coin, but as expected for the grade there is a lot of chatter in the fields. The upgrade is a PCGS MS65 example I'm quite happy with. It has a light gunmetal gray toning all over, with a couple areas of slightly darker toning on the obverse. This example, as well as my older one, are the DuVall 2-C die pair.


The second is a 1935-S Boone, PCGS MS67. It upgrades a PCGS MS64 example I've owned since 2015. PCGS pop is 45/8+ with 2 higher. I found this a particularly attractive example with faint peripheral toning and great luster.


And finally, I have a 1936-D Rhode Island, NGC MS67. It upgrades an NGC MS66 example; I normally don't upgrade a single point like that, but MS66 examples of these are very common. While NGC has graded over 300 at MS66, the pop for MS67 is 72 with only 6 higher. Though the Rhode Island design is one of my least favorite of the series, I found this example quite attractive with the peripheral toning on the obverse.

Nice additions, hokiefan.

Thanks, jbuck and GLB!
