Regardless of authenticity, shame on PCGS for putting that in a problem-free holder.
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...
I'm pretty sure your coin is dated 1838.
People put too much faith in the printed numbers on the little paper inserts and have little idea how to judge the coin inside. Again, it is a...
I think there are too many hairlines for it to ever sneak into a problem-free holder. But who knows? Interesting... I guess I did okay then. But...

My first thought was Hadrian, but I assumed it was an anonymous issue since the ruler was not specified. Thanks for clearing that up!
And, as an added insult, eBay surprises me this morning with a 10% eBay Bucks promotion, a day AFTER I had paid.
What is?
The toning may be muting it. And coin luster is not just "reflection of light from a surface." It is the light being reflected and scattered by...
$250. I did not notice the rim damage on the right reverse until after I had submitted my offer. Unfortunately, it was the highest of the three...
