I'm shocked, and I think everyone else will be too, of the grade of this coin... I'll post some more pics, maybe from different angles... Simply putting the coin under light, turning on the flash, all at the right angle, can really make a coin look great.. __________________ 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser Donations will be taken from March 1st to March 27th   05-12-2009, 03:45 PM   #7 (permalink) CentDime Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 654 Your link says AU58 so I have to guess AU 58.   05-12-2009, 03:56 PM   #8 (permalink) raider34 Morgans Morgans Morgans     Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: New York Posts: 3,701 My Mood: Those quarter Eagles are so hard to grade IMO.

Well thanks for that... LOL Everybody, it is an AU58.... Here is the seller's picture...

Not bad, in fact, great I'm excited about this one! Yep.. you should be ! Looks like a winner. Lustrous. It's all about the fields... bangs, nicks, gouges. They plague this series. Since there are no rims, they are more susceptible. __________________ www.900fine.com   05-12-2009, 05:45 PM   #15 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 7,323 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by 900fine Yep.. you should be !

Slightest imperfection makes a 62 go 58.... Some 58's look better than 62's at first site, it takes, time, and lots of practice and patience to grade these accurately.. That is why I buy them PCGS only, but... Sometimes they get it wrong.. __________________ 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser Donations will be taken from March 1st to March 27th   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
