AU-55 or so. Very nice!
Explain how you got such a helluva deal. :jawdrop: I agree with your assessment.
So we got into this argument because I used the terminology "scraped?" Seems pretty silly. To satisfy your quest to prove me wrong, I will say...
Fundamentally, what happened to the OP's coin and this coin are the same, just one is slightly more severe than the other. Still the same TYPE of...
You want to be really technical and nit-picky? Fine, I'll play along. A scratch is defined as a single sharp object digging or scraping into the...
Are the lines in the first picture the only ones on the coin? If so, the coin has been scraped. If there are more scratched in other directions,...
All the circled areas have signs of circulation. I'm closer to AU-55 on this one, so frankly I am surprised that this got an MS grade. [ATTACH]...
I was talking with my dad about this, and he said that this is caused by a disruption in the specular reflectivity in the metal. When light hits...
Well, you were talking about BEFORE slabs, which means a collector/dealer would, for example, buy a coin labeled as EF and sell it as an AU and...

I am eying this and will probably buy it if the price is right. Your opinions?[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
That shouldn't exist. It is hard enough for the TPGs to consitently give accurate grades; we don't need them trying to determine value as well. It...
Well, the grade is [ATTACH] which I think is stupid because "Mint State" means NO WEAR OR CIRCULATION. Dont give me any of the "market grade"...
YES!!!!! EXACTLY!!!!!
Both have been cleaned. There is virtually no luster, which is opposite of what I would expect for an AU-55 coin.
And before anyone complains, I realize that the coin is actually an 1829.
Certified by NGC and CAC approved. This is not my coin, but I think it is worthy of discussion. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
"Asking Price" So, if I throw up a worthless cent on eBay for $20,000, then it is fantastically valuable? 'Tis be a true statement by AOL's logic.
I agree completely.
My only real peeve is the focus on the number instead of the coins. I can live with the difference of opinion in grading, but I am frustrated by...
