So you think it will grade? The scratches worry me.
I have another one. After the details grade, I am now skeptical this coin will grade. It was one of my many indiscriminate purchases and I am an...
Not whizzing, from an original roll. It's just friction but for some reason they gave it a damage grade. Could be from a counter?
Thanks man, I was thinking 63+ because they've been tough, but their website states eye appeal can trump surface preservation by up to one full point.
By full steps did you mean the steps are fully gone? That coin is beautiful, really perfect toning.
I guess the plus was for distracting marks [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I actually thought this would score lower. It's just so pretty.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This one broke my heart. I thought for once I could get a 66. The "damage" is really hard to capture. I tried my best on the third photo. [ATTACH]...

How do you know what I am buying coins based on? The fact is those exact pictures when showed to you raised no flags concerning cleaning or...
Ok it's official, I hijacked this thread :). I will post more pics as soon as I get it. My original impression was that the obverse was dull and...
I posted the same pictures to you before and you said it was an MS62-63. It's easy to be a Monday morning QB. I had my doubts about it, but lesson...
I really didn't think this would grade well, just wasn't expecting details. Maybe it's the difference between the obverse and reverse that caught...
