That's a Capitol style holder. It's not slabbed.
It's a solid unless under sheer stress. In the later case, it acts like a fluid.
That has to do with surface tension and the fact that the surface area of the water exceeds the surface area of the person diving. Also, 60 ft...
OP, grease is a solid, not a liquid. That's why, when it gets into the die the resulting impression on the devices is obscured/flattened. As a...
I feel some sort of chemical was applied to the surface to get that oil-slick on the reverse. The obverse just looks like many proofs do.
A couple of things. Again, assuming the seller was zt9, this was the obverse image from the auction: [IMG] Pretty obvious that it's not a 36a,...
Market acceptable: Yes. Market desirable: I don't think so. That coin looks near terminal on the obverse.
I understand that the ear gouge wasn't present (which the seller photos should have shown). Now, as for not blaming folks, I don't know where I...
BTW, I wouldn't trust zt9 (who I assume sold this coin) for assessing "E"-clash coins. His pictures are horrible, and the one time I won one, it...
The main point was finding a graded UNC 36a for less than $52. ;) The asking prices seem to have spiked since the last time I picked a bunch up.
Banks must approve new accounts. If you have a history of small accounts being closed at banks, eventually, no bank would allow you to open a new...
I still say banks *should* charge for taking coins if your annual transactions exceed a certain percentage of your average daily balance.
Mine is eBay. ;)
Based on new photos, I would have upped to 63/64 PL.
I would return the coin, and quite honestly, you can probably find an actual graded 36A for less than you paid. It just takes time.
Kind of a test... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
MS62/63. There's a TON of chatter, but the directional lighting and imaging "hide" a lot of it.
That's somewhat my point. We're talking about 110 data points. It's summative, not integral.
No real mirroring shown, but beside that, the obverse devices don't look matte/cameo enough for PL.
Buy low sell high?
