I didn't even know something that old and toned could get such a high grade. whats that CAC sticker ?

 

the seller's pics are juiced....it's not that "colorful' in hand...

 

Absolutely stunning price tag !

 

yea personally i dont like the color just a preference

 

Beautiful coin! I like the sticker too. But I'm not sure if having the CAC sticker would influence my coin buying judgement. You know, buy the coin, not the slab.

 

No Comment...

 

Not much for eye appeal. I'd crack it and wipe all that gunk off.

 

it has already been done twice since the last time i saw her...it obviously looks better now with the ugly tarnish removed. has gone from anacs 66 to pcgs 63 to it's current ngc 68.

another example of the great work of ncs.

 

The CAC sticker is supposed to state that the coin is PQ for the grade.

Nice coin, nicer price!

 

That is a monster. First MS 68 bust anything I've seen. THanks for pointing it out....Mike

 

So true, like the color or not, it is the best hands down! None finer!:thumb:

 

personally to me i like many au-58's eye appeal better

 

Very nice coin, very nice grade, just not soemthing that I would purchase IMO. Just me. Thanks for showing us though Zane. :thumb:

Nice details, but a lot to ask for such an obviously cleaned coin. Plus, the colors are a bit distracting to me along the outside edge of the reverse. Too bad they mucked-up what was once probably a very nice piece.

Very nice piece indeed. I agree with many of the others about the toning though.

 

Woud you please explain this comment? I don't follow you. In other words, how do you know you've seen this coin before, and assuming you have, where and when. Thanks...Mike

 

examined 1999 central states, 2002 baltimore, and 2007 ana milwaukee jrcs/bust half nuts.


''it is the best hands down! None finer!''

this piece, in my opinion, probably grades 58 or 63 on technical merit depending on how much rub ''you'' see. and if i recall correctly, the condition census is 64...

either way the price of this piece is not too far off, considering the provenance it carries with it. i assume the auction is posted solely for advertisement and the auction will be ended early for private sale

 

Wow, an AU 68. That's a new grade.

Seriously, thanks for sharing your experience. I wouldn't have guessed that a coin with that toning and with that price tag and well-known history would be in NGC 68 plastic, much yet after being dipped and (artificially?) toned. Market grading at its finest, I suppose.

Fascinating, and thanks again for sharing your experience...Mike
