You're welcome. Now, so as not to disappoint your expectation that I play the Grinch, here is how you didn't win a coin "the right way".... You...
You might get more replies from those who know the answers if you make your thread title specific enough so they know what it's about.
The coin looks VF, in terms of detail. VF grades range from 20 to 35. While XF grades are 40 and 45.
LOL - it was unintentional, I promise:o But I'll leave it as is, for the entertainment value.
Don't forget, its snot just one grader who is responsible for a coin's grade.
Good post, Doug. Embarrassingly, I had missed the fact that that the original poster owns, and has thus, seen the coin in hand. That doesn't...
As best I can tell, the items you mentioned weren't included in the subject coin's information any more than they were in the example you gave...

Hi, I was the high bidder on the 1889-CC $1 on Ebay, to make sure no one got scammed by it. Sincerely, Mark
Yes - he has posted to this thread.
If you haven't already done so, please file a report as the high bidder on the 89-CC dollar has done. Thanks.;)
That's what he told the highest bidder.
The seller did not try to sell the coin to the highest bidder. In fact, he contacted that bidder to tell him he had been told the coin was...
The coin was graded Proof 63 by PCGS. There are a lot of hairlines that don't show up, even in the first set of images. However, it looks like an...
