That's true, and I would bet that the one in this thread grades lower than that. Odds are that it's one of many examples of a buyer acquiring...
He almost certainly didn't get a "screamin good deal", and probably not even a good one. A nice PCGS or NGC AU FH example can be bought for less...
Thanks. You might end up being right - I was basing my comment strictly on the image provided.
I agree.
That 1880 looks natural and attractive to me, as does the coin which started this thread. I have no concern about the originality of either one.

My best guess, based on the images provided, is AU58FH.
Dipping is a form of cleaning. However, if a gold or silver coin is dipped and rinsed properly, many (though certainly not all) believe it to be...
I repeat, there are already more than 10 known and others might surface. So it's not at the top of the rarity heap. And if the Langbord examples...

If it was ever graded MS60, it wasn't done by PCGS. And based on what I have heard about the coin, I would be surprised if even EAC graded it that...
The coin you are thinking of was designated Specimen 67 Brown (not Red) by PCGS.

I'd definitely leave it as is. That pattern is probably due to storage in an album, and the coin would look odd, were you to have the toning...
Why, Chris?
Since none have surfaced, it is believed that they were all melted. Of course, it is possible that some are sitting around somewhere waiting to be...
A number of the posters to this thread appear to be confusing value with rarity. Otherwise, they would not have even mentioned coins such as the...
Reaction to its environment, and has been mentioned, images which might make the color appear more vivid than it actually is.
Actually, to this date, the business strikes are not merely "exceedingly rare". Not a single one has been documented by a major grading company -...
In this case, yes. The problem with using those letters is that they can also stand for Seated Liberty Quarter.
