it's beside the fact that I watch this particular "antique" dealer... simply she often put up interesting items like this pretty I won for a 50 today (a bit more with shipping lol) 1851 Trime
Looks pretty nice from here... worth the chance IMO. Keep in mind that many dealers have no idea how to grade these things.
Yep. Fingers crossed for you that it's "all sparkly under the light, but since it's tarnished it can't be BU, must be AU".
I did ok for the price I guess she is a good looking coin.. more like vf rather then AU and will have to call it details/damaged as well for that notch through the d in united... Ahh well, I can't win every time lol Still, I'm not unhappy for the price and it will fill the hole in the album so not a complete loss
