Assuming you won on bid and don't have in hand. Get digital macros photos and repost. Rare date so I hope it's a good one. It doesn't look so...
I think it is graded appropriately according to the typical standards seen today by the TPG's. I didn't realize how harsh Doug's response was....
Sorry, eddiespin- I didn't have computer access for a while. I mean the old school ones that are manilla color and have a lot of sulfur. They...
I cracked and did the oil/rose thorn because I simply didn't like the grime and it was driving me crazy. I wouldn't crack out and risk it to go...
Eddie- I posted somewhere else about your 15 year oil story- you rinse with warm soapy water- that would cause coagulation of the oil (oil should...
92.50! Real question is where did you get it?
Yes, Charmy it was in a PCGS EF 40 holder. If the coin was cleaned it was like 60 years ago or so. My grandmother used to tell me not to touch...

Very interesting. Everyone has good points, except VF 30. Don't agree with that grade. AU 58. Cool coin. Don't know what to make of those lips!
I agree with Desert Jim- absolute fako
