    Got a really good deal on this.
    I think because of the holder. 20180204_183635.jpg 20180204_183909.jpg 20180204_183933.jpg 20180204_183744.jpg 20180204_183759.jpg what y'all think it's worth?

    I'd guess $30 tops. Looks like it's been cleaned.

    In the blow up of pic 2, aren't I seeing vertical hairlines? Or are those die polishing marks as well as the diagonal marks?

    There are marks on the slab and, many die polish lines.

    Nice pick up... lots of fun surprises in this type PCI slab. I believe many thumb their nose at these old slabs.....Again buy the coin ....

    That's not cleaned. Not reflecting like that, it's not. Nice example of the DDO, Steve.

    A nice clean example of this die variety for this coin. If you don't own it, but it.

    I don't get that either. I've seen ase's in these slabs labeled 100% white that were 100% not. I definitely would not consider this coin white at all. It has some nice toning around the rim on the obv. I have not been able to figure out how to photograph colors on coins. I have some stuners that i would love to show here on the forum.

    When this coin was graded by PCI, they thought the coin had very little toning. Still mostly, fresh white surfaces. Over the years those surfaces have toned more. Old PCI plastic caused toning on some coins.
