Ok, I asked for comments for my own edification and I got them! Excellent. Pretty much what I was thinking. So....... how about this one?...
Those are some deep hairlines there. One would wonder how they got there without extending to the devices.
Is the dark toning on the lower one environmental damage - or bordering on it?
I have learned a lot from posting coins for you all to comment on - even wound up with a couple of fresh CAC stickers (which I like) as a result....
I've done exactly what the OP did - So I bought it and re-sold it. I think in my case I bought two of the same coin in the same auction - I just...
Excellent! Is this usually more obvious on silver than gold - or equally applicable? I will add that this specific issue, the 1840-O no drapery...
Both being over-graded makes sense I'm sure - both PCGS - BTW, The second, dark VF35 has a CAC sticker! Here's a little more info that might be...
Sorry to dissapoint :) Here's the reverse of the vf35. Yes, as someone said, New Orleans strike! [ATTACH]
Well, I don't know, but here's a VF35 of the same issue (1840-O no drapery). Looks like a lot more wear to me.[ATTACH]

If you do a little research on the CAC population you'll see that the number of coins that have CAC stickers is far, far below 60% of those that...
Hate to split hairs, or websites, but there's a world of difference between Heritage and David Lawrence. Heritage is buy beware (although they...
Exactly the same could be said of Heritage - and maybe more so because there are no returns! I've sold more on Ebay than I've purchased, but good...
"So for the clueless newbies among us (me!), if I understand this correctly I can send my coin to PCGS to be graded, and then if I send it to CAC...
I'm sure that like many dealers they have blanket shipping insurance so they don't have to insure every item individually - and they likely pay...
That definitely happens - although less so now that they get electronic signatures. I once had an item marked as signed for and delivered when it...
The CAC folks are very nice and will get back to you if you send them a message through their website! I've submitted items through dealers and...
I agree it's no big deal. The seller owns the item, if they decide not to sell it, it's still their item. You can't force them to sell it. Ebay...
