I know my eyes are bad, but where's all this stuff he's describing? Of course he's in New Zealand, so maybe he's looking at his picture upside down. (He's a Power Seller, so we all know his descriptions are absolutely accurate, don't we?)
well in the 3rd pic there is a reflection of blue from the background so maybe his idea of "mirror finish" is of a dirty mirror LOL!!! Kinda like the ole service station mirrors hehheh. So how much is he asking? Also out of curiosity and lack of knowledge, GD was describing to someone on how to spot cleaned (dipped?) coins. He said something about the brown color around the details when all else is silver. Is this an example?
It doesn't appear to be me. I'll have to see if I can find that thread - or if you can, look at the pics again. You will see a pale tan color all around the letters in the legends and around the coin's devices. That's what I was talking about.
GD, I think you were referring to my post and pictures on the Morgan dollars from Gates Rubber Co. http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=3566
