They're all genuine. I've sold many of these in the past. Take my word for it... Or don't. Your choice. -Brian
The coin itself looks authentic but, as already mentioned, we can't make out the mintmark enough to be able to determine it's authenticity as an...
Closer to XF+, IMO. The values your coin has been appraised at are fair. This coin doesn't qualify as "submission-worthy", IMO, but it's...
Looks like natural album toning. Unfortunately, judging by the single photo you've provided, the coin may have been dipped before being stored in...
VF-Details (Improperly Cleaned). You could definitely find a better, more original example for the money. -Brian
Very interesting! Well, my 5th Ed CPG arrived in the mail today, and, as I expected, virtually no info on this variety... Just that it DOES...
Neat-o! Where'd you see one that wasn't for sale? Was it, like, the discovery specimen or something? I've also heard of this variety for 1958,...

That thing's surfaces remind me of a matte proof coin (especially the obverse)! Incredible, Merc! :thumb: -Brian
Looks like your coin took a beating from a clothe dryer. PMD. -Brian
Unfortunately, I just cleaned out my folder consisting of tests and quizes I had taken in my World History class during the 1st Semester of the...
I'd call it an XF45... If it's original. I don't see any signs right off the bat that suggest the has been cleaned. It's tough to say if a TPG...
