PWA 1967 Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 They are just the CGS pictures apart from the F6 with the background changed. Think they stand out a lot better and really clear such as this one . 1 Quote

Did you get it at the actual auction, Pete, or buy it later? Quote
PWA 1967 Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 I wasnt collecting at the time of the DNW Bamford sale Mike and bought it about three years ago already CGS graded. I decided to buy it and put away due to the provenance rather than grade 🙂 2 Quote

mrbadexample Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 Any thoughts on this 1927? I'm sure he's supposed to have an ear. Quote

secret santa Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 That's why they call it a "modified effigy". Quote

mrbadexample Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 It is a little bit dished in the middle, and the reverse doesn’t look quite right either. It’s almost like there wasn’t enough metal to fill the die. Quote
PWA 1967 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Peck 1342 ,again IMO looks much better with the different background 🙂 Edited August 23, 2019 by PWA 1967 3 Quote

PWA 1967 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 I bought this a few years ago but have not put the pictures up before ,the pictures are not mine although the coin does have better lustre in hand. 1926 ME ..........CGS 80. 4 Quote
VickySilver Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Better lustre? Wow, that would be nice. I really like coins such as this that are not "micro-varietals", rare and beautiful! Wish I could post mine also...It is the one on the PCGS site for 1926RB (MS65). Quote

Sure it will be a really nice one Eric and yes different collectors collect different things.I dont really buy the Low grade ones anymore or any with problems and prefer to have gaps.Although this means i am currently going through a bored phase as cant find anything that i really want 🙂 Edited August 23, 2019 by PWA 1967 Quote

PWA 1967 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 You have a good memory Jerry and yes ,its three and a half years ago now 🙂 Quote
secret santa Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Pete, do you know if the photos were taken with the coins on that black background or whether the background was blackened later ? Quote

The 1926 as the pictures are not mine i cant be certain but think so and would say yes and blackened later ,the others are just the CGS ones before grading and also blackened later.

VickySilver Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Pete, you know, I am in the same place as you. I guess that I was a borderline fanatic at one time. If it was a rare DATE penny or milled silver 1830-1970 rarity, I was on it. Now, a bit of a ho-hummer. At one time the upcoming Spink Waterbird Sale would have really gotten a charge out of me, and now I am just a bit interested . I suspect many of us have a mild version of the malady as well. Anyway, again I like looking at this marvelous 1926ME and Richard's evidently photographic memory. Maybe I need to look again on his site at the '26ME's. Cheers, gents (and ladies)! Quote
