[ATTACH] [ATTACH] This coin actually looks way better in person than the photographs show. When I saw it I was baffled and thought why isn't it...
I'm glad you like my 1909 $2 1/2 Gold. It's a really nice specimen for the grade. Lots of detail without issues.
From the second pictures you took it looks like it's had a cleaning, so I would guess UNC Details.
If it details grades I might consider selling it for a coin without issues but gold is gold. It's good to have when confidence in the current...
Thank you for answering my question with an honest opinion. This is what I was looking to get an opinion about from the group.
Actually SEGS are very strict these days and don't allow for many flaws to get problem free regular grades. I had a specimen they details graded...
I like to slab my more expensive coins to help protect and preserve them. Buying coins raw is cheaper too.
Chris, At the very least though they are credited knowing the difference between a genuine and a fake. This is good enough for me since this...
You're right. I agree. I wish I had better pictures of it but the graders have it now.
I looked at the coin before submitting it. It looked decent despite its flaws. There's no signs I could tell of it being harshly cleaned or wiped....

It's not a really great coin, it's well circulated as the photos show. If it was MS-63 or higher you would be making a credible point. The coin is...
So I sent SEGS an 1888 $10 Gold Eagle and it graded XF-40 Details Cleaned. It's not like they're SGS and can't tell the difference of a good coin...
Now I have no problem with PCGS, NGC, ANACS or ICG but what makes only these four so great either? Just because eBay recognizes them only doesn't...
Chris, I've been a numismatist since I was in grade school and did lots of studying. I am almost 40 now. I've looked at many many coins but...
