From the before and after pictures I can tell they are of the same coin. I'd wait until you get it in hand before making any phone calls. As...
Yes NGC, I have one in a PCGS slab too.
1837 Bust Dime MS 63.[ATTACH]
Interesting novelty. I'd like to see how high it goes. You know someone will pay a lot of money to own it. Maybe PCGS will start grading dead...
Not AU and cleaned big time. First question you should have is why it isn't in a slab. Unless you know the seller any 1889 CC that hasn't been...

I agree the auction houses do try to get people to bid high. That's part of how they make money. As long as you are aware this takes place you...
I don't like the toning on the coin but, I have a feeling it looks a lot better in hand.
I suspect corrosion. At first I thought fire damage because of the toning but, then switch to corrosion. It would be nice to know if it was...
