Post your coin porn!!

IMO and IME, for coins in "modern" slabs if the grade seems low usually there is an issue that isn't readily apparent. Maybe a rim dent hidden by the gasket, or a few light hairlines or maybe some light rub. A few years ago I bought a pristine $10 Indian in a 62 slab. Paid good money, but still thought I was getting a 63 or 64. I sent it to CAC thinking it was a legitimate gold sticker candidate. Well, they rejected it completely for rub! Sure enough, it is a super slider in a mintstate holder.

Yes, my son?

 

Time for tonight's coin porn

 

Hi Mill Rat, I did look at this coin again using my 10x loupe. There is not rim ding anywhere on the coin. It must be a lighting issue on the pictures.

In the write up for this coin, the auction house did say there were faint hairlines and they suggested this might be the reason for the 63 grade.

Regardless, I really love this coin. It's tough to find gold 63's this clean.

This is my favorite design I just wish I could afford the real thing

 

Me too! For tonight I'll post asmaller version I've always wanted a Gobrecht dollar too

 

That's a beauty. I usually don't go for worn coins but I wouldn't mind owning that

 

I've had it since I was 16 I have no problem with circulated early coins especially when their the untouched gunmetal grey color like this one I also like circulated cameos too I'm not big on coins that are worn flat tho

 

I prefer high grade coins because of their detail and luster. Although, I do love circulated cameo coins.

 

Really nice!

Yours?

 

Thank you, yes, after very many moons.

 

Chief:
