I am am new tonight and realized this may be a better place to post pics of a coin rather then "Introductions". Just wondering if anyone can tell if this may make an MS60 grade. I sent it to PCGS today.... If you click on the photo it should enlarge. Has been in our family since 1907....figured it was time to get it graded....never had a graded coin either. Thank you! http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn196/wyomingmach/002.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn196/wyomingmach/001.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn196/wyomingmach/006.jpg
I will repeat what I said in the other thread...It looks UNC, but is the edge supposed to look like that?
Yes, comparing it to the photos at PCGS it looks like it would be called a "wire rim". I posted it here as I thought it fit the forum rules better. Your post was after my last and I moved it here....sorry I did not see your question.
but this may be a fake From the information I found, this should have a reeded edge. the $10 has the stars on the edge. Anybody else have suggestion??
