The bid is now too high to purchase the coin. The carbon spot should cause a decent hit agaisnt greysheet, which doesn't seem to be happening. I...
I have seen PCGS MS RD coins with carbon spots, but they get dinged in the market. Unless you need this for a registry set or something, I think...
Thanks for all the comments and thoughts. The scratches on the neck look a little more prominent than in the picture and are probably...
Hello all, It's been some time since I posted here...just not enough time in the day. But I'm going to try and recommit to the hobby again....
$270 in the latest quarterly (10-12). Moves up to $550 in 63. sf340flier
While this could be a weak strike, I'm leaning toward wear because of the color changes. But, I'd have to see this in hand to be sure. I'd...
You know, this an an excellent learning coin for me (albeit at $32+). I always look for hairlines, but I missed the discoloration you pointed...
Finally sent this coin in to PCGS and it got BB'd for cleaning. Personally, I don't see it, but whatever. Still a cool VAM!
Looks like a 66 depending on luster! Nice one!
Ben, I like the purple background! I'll have to play around with that as well. Neat idea. Jim
I'd give it a XF-45. Also, I'm not sure if it's the photo, but the color seems a litle different to me. All 8tf's are cool thoough!
Wowser... Eye-appeal is great...otstanding strike and luster. Easy 64 and depending on how bad that mark on the lower cheek is (with the coin...
Although not my exact area, I believe it's pretty diffiult to AT only the rim. I'm sure it's been done before, but usually when I see this I lean...
Good point Mike. I know sometimes turning up the color balance (RGB to max) can also achieve a brightend background and I thought that could be...
Bz, Good points on the whole different mint/ different strike issue. But this looked AU to me only because of the shadow on Liberty's cheek...
I wanted to point out one technique for spotting "doctored" photos on Ebay and other online auctions. If you have ever attempted coin...
Nice one! My first thought was AU-58. I think I see some wear on the cheek and above the ear. If it was another mint, I'd even go lower, say a...
Very nice! The four that graded 66 represent a nice profit (should you decide to sell them). I think they are going in the mid $200s right now...
Thanks for all the replies so far. When I first saw the coin, I thought it was dipped and not rinsed, but I had never seen the result of that...
When I first heard about this I couldn't believe it either. Why would a company alienate a sizable portion of their prospective clients? Makes...
