Nathan, Are you referring to the color, or the raised lines?
I would recommend sending your coin to either ANACS or NCS. The coin has excellent detail, and I think it would bring strong money if put on ebay,...
Adam, I would hang on to that. I don't think it has a lot of value, but its closer than most people will ever be able to come to a brasher...
Ranchand, beautiful original toning. I would guess that that coin is graded a 66 shot 67.
forgive my ignorance, as I know nothing of ancient coins, but isn't the fact that it is in an ICG holder a wonderful indication that it is in fact...
I can't see any wear, distracting carbon spots or hits, I think it looks like a 64 BN.
:thumb: Nice pickup! Another rarity.
This same thing happened to one of my relatives, except it was in an PCI slab. We both felt the grade was right. He sent it to one of the leading...

Here you go speedy: http://vamworld.wikispaces.com/1878-S+VAM-59 There are several long nock varities, and most of them have a rarity of R7 I...
I noticed Jim's thread, and it made me think of this question, and I found the anwer to be an interesting piece of history, and thought I would...

I would grade your coin a 63. The luster is blazing, and the coin appears to be original. The strike is also very nice, especially for a new...
I know it happens quite frequently. I recently picked up a 1944 walker graded ms-64 by PCI. I am happy to report after a quick dip, it now resides...
Nathan, I'd be willing to bet money that the coins that came back with problems listed, had the problems listed. NGC may simply have felt they...
I think your coin would grade an xf-45, possibly a 50.
64, and 63 are my guesses. I think the first is a 64, because it has clean fields, and a relatively clean face, but have some schmutz on it...
Congratulations! Au-55 will bring strong money. I personally would have sold the coin through heritage as opposed to the dealer. I think heritage...
I said 65. The obverse is quite nice, and might even support a 66, but the reverse seems a little too chewy, although given that it is a cc...
Speedy, I don't think that is damage from a wrapping machine but I may be wrong. I was looking at some quarters with the same look as yours, and...
Separate names with a comma.
