It's a REAL nice example of the 30S, but they should have brought it to a 65 for the hits and weakness in the right wheat stalk IMO. Once again,...
64 yay!
I always wonder how long it takes somebody to make one of these.
What? People on ebay never do that! :too-funny:
The revese hit by the M and weak strike should keep this out of 67, but it's a crap shoot with NGC.
An acid-thiourea dip is the only "safe" method. You'd better know exactly what you're doing if you use it. If you soak that coin in HCl, you will...

I think that's the WORST AT job I've ever seen.....well...close to the worst. LOL
Always best to break a set apart. Most buyers will not want to go through the hassle of grading/valuing every coin in a set. They will price the...
I should also add that the coin had a lot of carbon spots on it. They were vaporized by the process. This is the ONLY way I know of to remove...
Simple experiment, here's one I took pics of. I made an electric burner red hot, put the coin on for about a minute or so and took it off. After...
