Agree - you might even want some modern ones to test things just to see what happens.
Comparing over on rob.com looks like V-6 or LM-5
When I first saw it I thought XF-45, but blowing it up I think AU. It has some nice clashing on it.
My 2 cents worth - I have always thought the pictures of their copper coins make them look cleaned or recolored or just something was done to them...
Yeah - I am still wiping the drool off my chin. :) Sweet coins Hugh!
I think both will pass at a TPG. I tend to agree with XF on the coins.
Looks too straight to me to be a die crack(it still could). I guess it could be a die scratch - is it raised?
I still don't see anything in the 8 but I do see some potential re-punching on the 3 and possible in the lower loop of the 6. One of them I need...
Any thing is possible when looking at graded coins. Personally I never look at 70s' - always stuck with 69's for my modern stuff when I collected...
Looks genuine to me but polished or whizzed. Of course that could also just be the pictures.
With the new pictures I do not see any signs of re-punching.
I agree - but it would probably slab even with those small spots. Nice coin - I agree a nice AU-58.
New large cent - scratches are on the slab. [IMG]
Nice coin Kanga! And yeah I can see what looks like re-punching on the 1 and 6.
Nice set Kanga. I really like it.
Nice pickup!
Can you get some clearer pictures of the coin? I want to say S-260, but I can't see enough. Wait for one of the real experts.
Hmmm - details but upper end VF or lower end XF. I waffled back and fourth on it so still not sure where I would net it at. As mentioned still a...
That is interesting. With the way the date looks it must have been one "tired" die when the coin was struck. Everything looks so mushy except for...
My guess would be a 139 also, but wait for conder or mashall - one of them could probably peek at it know without having to look at anything.
