I said no more this month but couldn't resist this offer Also was a "detail" i had never seen before... but one I felt i could live with lol
I put up the original pics and ngc's but not the lightened blowups i did to see them better lol... here you go... Well worth a 50 in my book
There currently is a stronger "details" market, than the AU-MS62 market for "over/market-graded" scarce coins. JMHO
I can't recall seeing a label with "stained" on it before. Are they referring to toning? That shouldn't have affected the grade no matter what. I don't see anything that stands out as "staining" but maybe it's my eye sight.
I don't see what they are talking about as a stained either. I've seen the term on slabs before, but on those, the "staining" was quite obvious, brighter coins with a dark area that didn't look like toning. I would've snatched that baby up for the price too.
Yeah once I blew up the pic's I couldn't resist the darn thing... should have it in hand tomorrow Thursday the latest (and since I typed that I can expect it next monday lol)
Nice pick up , be sure to check it for the 1961/0 variety. This is a variety that has been refuted but still recognized by many. There's 2 doubled dies the 001 and 002 and two rpd 1861/61 & 1861/1. So you have a chance at 5 varieties on that specimen. 2 ddo's and 2 rpds and a refuted over date. This coin busted out given an acetone bath will look great. I just aquired an 1849 half dime an V-8 in an ICG slab , that will be busted out soaked ,and regraded properly This is a rarer variety die marriage. There's plenty of coins as such with very minor issues that are bagged and they keep the fee. This specimen was $50 value $125
Nice coin but 1861’s have 2 varieties. The type with 5 vertical lines in the top of the shield is the scarcer one.
There's no variety that has 5 lines in the shield on an h 10. The 1855 h 10 has an variety that has 7 horizontal lines on the shield, but No other.
She's arrived.. these the best 2 pics i got so far Toned without a doubt... "Stained".. I don't get it... think she might be sent in again with the submission I'm putting together for NGC.. I am extremely happy with this coin especialy for the price
