Absolutely stunning bust half

It's a great coin, but I would like to see it in hand. The surfaces seem kind of dead to me, and the piece looks like a 63/64 coin from the pics.

Albanese is the person behind the whole CAC stickering concept, which stickers coins that are solid or nice for the grade. There is a lot of debate among dealers right now over the merits of the CAC.

Those photos are so jacked up, they hurt my eyes.

 

I concur with Bone on this one. No Comment.

 

ITS A FAKE - CAN'T YOU SEE THAT. Come ONE Zane - 80K Near MS70 200 year old coin!

Who has the gumption to clean this kind of coin?

I assume you're talking about the variety, not the date. Correct?....Mike

 

correct

 

Well, guess I've got one comment. Submitted two legitimate questions and have received no answers yet. Additionally, the seller (Ebay Feedback) appears to have "wife problems" LOL...

 

slightly off topic but offered by the same seller...a true ''absolutely stunning'' rarity.

lol, they are bothers, aren't they?

 

Zane, have you seen it in person?

I suppose if it is still available, I'll ask to see it at FUN. I can't imaging Dave not being there.

 

Albanese Rare Coins is no relation to John Albanese, the founder of CAC. Unfortunately, a large number of people mistakenly think they are related.

On another note, I'd like those claiming that the coin in question has been NCS'd and/or artificially toned to offer proof of those assertions.

 

I stand corrected. I actually was in the thread to correct my mistake after further research and saw you'd pointed it out. Anyway John and Dave Albanses are not related.

 

Greetings, and Welcome to the forum. I e-mailed the seller with two pertinent questions and have received no response at all. One of the questions was if they could simply provide more photos.

Take Care

MarK;
Welcome to the forum, and don't just make one posting and disappear.
The posters have opinions and would be interested in your feedback.
So, lets hear it.

 

Welcome Mark,
Glad to see you over here on CT! I hope to stay around and join in the talk!

Speedy

 

Thanks for the welcomes folks.

I haven't seen the coin in person and don't know how inaccurate the images are, so I can't fairly comment on its quality or other attributes. I do know however, that most images fall short in one or more areas in depicting how a coin really looks.

I have seen far more coins that have been through NCS than I wanted to, and the coin which is the subject of this thread does not look like a coin which has been through NCS.

I'm going to check out this site and see if I can find my way around a bit. In the mean time, I am usually happy to answer questions about rare coins if/when I think I can be of help.
