Sorry that I haven't post much in awhile. I picked this up on eBay last week for a small sum. This was the only one I could find with a great looking envelope. There were many with really ugly packing being sold for much more than I paid. Yeah I was taking a chance on the coins looking good or not. Thankfully they are here and look awesome, if not I would have sent them back.

 

Thanks Fiddlehead. Not much difference in price between AU and MS so I think I will just grade it at AU and not bother sending it in to get graded. Did I mention before about USACoinBook.com. Good place to buy or sell. I will probably sell it there. I am not connected to that web site in case anyone thinks I am promoting it here.

 

Just bought this one as an AU. Will it make MS?

Just joined CT - Learned a lot already...

Perhaps it's the lighting, but to me that Eagle is AU-Details at best. Looks to have had a vigorous cleaning, perhaps even a thorough whizzing to make it look like it has "luster". I see many hairlines in the images provided.

Thanks Dude, AU seems to be the consensus.

 

Chuck, I just looked at my AU. Think yours falls in that grade. It might have been cleaned.

 

Found a couple I couldn't walk away from today.

 

Yep, I agree but the scratches in the fields look random. I just don't know about the cleaning...
Thanks for your reply.

 

No it's an au and harshly cleaned still it's a 19th c $10 gold

 

Not my favorite series, but I think it's very nice for a 62.
This is one I would send to CAC if I belonged.

 

my 1917 DDO Lincoln arrived today so I some close ups of the coin

 

No chance for an unc, AU details at best.

There is something funky no the obv fields.

 

nice variety

 

Proof 1902 Barber quarter, PR61. Was very pleased when it arrived today. 777 minted, NGC population 5.

 

Pick this up today. My first slabbed variety coin. Or is this an error?

 

Variety

 

Thank You.

 

There are several 1938 D/D varieties D/D/D -D/S -D/D/S
Collecting Buffalo in the later years you'll find quite a few omm's.

 

I went to the Old Barracks Museum in Trenton, NJ today while there I picked this up. Noting special just a souvenir.
