Good stuff!
Thanks guys, you all make great points. I think my scale has been tipped towards keeping it raw. Thanks
I really get no satisfaction of out of slabbed coins.
Good eye. I see it now but even so, I was under the impression that strike quality played a role in grade.
Thank you, I have never submitted a coin before. That sounds like sound advice.
This is not to guess the grade but feel free to take a shot. I had some mixed opinions on this 1909 in a previous thread....
I compared to a 90cc NGC altered surface. Can someone specifically point out the differences?[ATTACH]
Move your phone back a couple inches and use the zoom to get a better focus.
Will you be getting it graded. It would be interesting to see.
It is a previously struck coin stuck to the die, which says causes ghosting in the later stages. I would think an early stage die cap would cause...
Islanders link? ok i got it.
yes
I see the pattern your talking about. I thought that was lamination striations.
What are the caps made of? Does it damage the die when that happens?
That is interesting.

Great info!. For the record I was not suggesting that a zip lock bag would inhibit oxidation.
Just wondering how they come up with the term cud.
Separate names with a comma.
