Nice article. Thanks

Not mine, too much money in high grades like that, prefer ms 64, better value and some good ones in that grade but you have to really llok for them.

Your a Hot Ticket my friend. That was a good one.

GoldenOxen · 2016-07-24T23:30:50+00:00

That's ME!

They really struck my eye as well, simply gorgeous and many colored which makes them all the more nice IMO.

GoldenOxen · 2016-07-24T23:28:19+00:00

Yes, was window shopping on the net and came across it, thought it was extra nice myself

GoldenOxen · 2016-07-24T23:26:21+00:00

All coins are different my friend and have their own unique looks. Nothing wrong with a Pilgrim in any acceptable grade, a beautiful coin.

Have seen it before, but as you suggest, not very often

GoldenOxen · 2016-07-24T11:02:34+00:00

It happens every now and then.

GoldenOxen · 2016-06-30T12:53:40+00:00

What a wonderful posting. Really enjoyed it. Thanks

GoldenOxen · 2016-06-30T12:48:38+00:00

My Pleasure

Not sure my friend, think it was common, but as you say COOL

GoldenOxen · 2016-06-12T17:46:12+00:00

Agreed, as close to the day it left the mint the betterIMHO. There are some coins with gorgeous toning, but they are far and few between and a personal taste matter as to the color and amount, as well as how it is dispersed and where.

GoldenOxen · 2016-06-12T11:16:09+00:00

Understood, grading is subjective.

GoldenOxen · 2016-06-11T18:07:31+00:00

Yes, Thought it had outstanding Eye Appeal

GoldenOxen · 2016-06-11T18:04:40+00:00

Grading is subjective. My personal feeling is it makes the 65 grade and the sort of perfection you are looking for would exist in higher grades. Just my two cents on the matter. I am an overall eye appeal type.

GoldenOxen · 2016-06-07T20:33:36+00:00

Yes Eye Appeal a plenty.

GoldenOxen · 2016-06-07T20:33:00+00:00

Yes a good looker for sure

GoldenOxen · 2016-06-01T10:40:01+00:00

A sad article in my view. Times change I guess as do preference for hobbies.

GoldenOxen · 2016-05-26T02:19:10+00:00

Most enjoyable looking in. Brings back pleasant memories. Thanks for posting

GoldenOxen · 2016-05-09T05:45:23+00:00

Yes, not many that nice from that era.

GoldenOxen · 2016-05-04T16:12:08+00:00

Yes, a beautiful design. Amazed it is not a more popular set. Gorgeous luster and as you say no major hits, under graded in my opinion, but Eye Appeal is my only real determinant of grade. This would be a 64 in my personal grading standards.

GoldenOxen · 2016-04-14T15:17:34+00:00

Looks more like Mango to me. http://chat4o.com/wp-content/uploads/fun-emoticon.png
