Show off a "Problem Coin"

Coin has very good eye appeal for a 190 year old Lady. Also read on these threads that most if not all "old" coins were cleaned at one time or another. It was accepted practice to clean a coin and enhance its appearance in the late 1800's , early 1900's. So, one should presume that a 190 year old coin was cleaned/dipped/enhanced in its early lifetime. Lastly, the eye appeal for me outweighs the scracth. Nice coin

I have been himming and hawing on this one for about a month now. It's been listed and relisted and was just a touch out of my comfort zone for a coin that is just a conversation piece. Yesterday eBay offered up 4x eBay Bucks, which coupled with a lower starting price, got the coin to a more comfortable price. Still more than I really wanted to spend... but find another one double struck so clearly on the reverse. You can just make out the second strike on the obverse as well.

Looks like a great candidate for some Verdi Care. I'd love to get enough crud off to attribute the die pair but I doubt that will happen. This old girl looks like she spent a fair amount of her life under ground.

 

Very unique coin @jester3681 nice fine!

 

I'm on my way, is anyone going today?

 

Here's a trio of troubled trade dollars. What should i do with them?

 

Gosh, man. Those are so beat up. Here let me take those. They'll just take up a lot of space in your collection

 

Everyone is always willing to lend a helping hand.

 

1909s VDB and 1877 Indian melted together.

 

Bet you could submit those to SGS and get them in a MS68 multi coin holder.

 

This dollar has enough brown stuff on it to qualify as enviro damage, I think, and someone removed some of it from the obverse, although without leaving a bunch of hairlines. A problem coin that has a certain charm, though.

 

Nice Coin, problem coin or not...

 

Darn right

 

Quite the charming Lass.......

 

The problem is very clear here, this coin is fake

 

You think NCS could do anything with it. Be worth a shot anyway. I love flowing hair dollars anyway

 

Ignore this please.

 

I would send that to SGS for grading. What do you think they'll give it? XF? AU?

 

Nah, even on a bad day at SGS that's at the very least a MS68!
