hmmmm, a little to dinged to be 58 in my opinion

 

A lotta dings, could be a XF45 - AU50 slider.. Appears to carry good details despite the abundant dings.

 

What does 'slider" mean?

 

Slider means it could go either way, depending on the grader, I think it deserves an XF45 but it is close to AU50 .. So in other words I think it has a good chance of getting an AU50 if regraded by one of the top 3 ( PCGS, NGC, ANACS)

 

The grading service: "GEC " sounds like the noise that I made when I saw the coin!
This is the choking sound at the grade.
Yup, cleaned or polished

 

Yep, GEC says it all.
No dice.

 

Yikes!!!! 500 dollars, the guy wants too. GEC must mean Grossly Etched Coin. Forgive the Yoda like writing. LOL

 

That coin was polished to death.

 

I would say it has XF details, and has absoluty been polished to death.

 

Another example of GEC "quality" coins. Stay away.

 

Wow what a coin - that is a solid sgs ms70. The seller should resubmit to sgs.

 

Polished XF, net F-VF....

 

tommy:
Slider is a coin that is nearly uncirculated, but missed the mark. That is, wow this is harder than I thought.
Okay, uncirculated is MS-60 (for a plain old unc coin).
An Au (almost uncirculated coin is from AU-50 to AU-58.
The Au-58 is nearly unc, but just misses.
So, it is called a slider, I guess perhaps because some dealers would slide it out as an unc coin.

 

i would have to pass.

 

Polished and XF-40 is what I'd say based on the picture.

I think the starting bid would be a fair price for that coin.

 

As a final price-- agreed, but the postage is too high.
