Wow, nice coin. The rich color suggests it has not been dipped, as many of them (even in top tier slabs!) have been.
Looks AU from the details, color somewhat splotchy (at least in photos) implying a cleaning and/or recoloring. I agree that this is a very neat...
Sometimes you can infer, or be certain, that a coin has been cleaned from photos, but many times you cannot. The only way to tell for certain is...
Unless the coin is in one of the anointed slabs, a numerical grade can only appear in the description, iirc.
I'm glad you like the 1872 dollar, I do too, except when you examine it with the light at just the right angle, you see the parallel hairlines...
Is the o.p. also the seller of the items posted here for discussion and listed on eBay? If these items were just "picked up" then why are they...
Very good points by the last two posters. Yes, most of the higher value quality coins have been graded by one of the top services-- and if you see...
The 16-d's have a slight rotation of the reverse relative to the obverse. it varies, as there were 4 different reverse dies used, but none is...

Man, I'd love to see a photo of that, just use any pocket digital camera on macro and let fly!
I think that's a good idea, did you see the Barber half I posted on my thread, "A Cautionary Tale"?
Great example, Rusty. you can easily see the curved lines caused by the wire brush on the enlarged images at Heritage, and I believe you can see...
Love the reverse design on the sovereign and the Mexican 2.5p.

Veeerrrry Nice!! Mintage 91,209, and only around 3,000 exist in circulated grades, according to Bowers.
I'm curious about the 1899 and the 1907(the one to the left). I have bought Barbers that looked like those which turned out to have cleaning marks...
