Way to go! Look forward to pics.
Well said, rld14!
I think you are right. I see dark metal on the high spots,=AU in my book. I'm guessing it was very dark and dipped over and over, leaving it...
Thanks for the 'toothpick tip,' Conder101. Sounds like a good idea. I'm just used to using a scalpel on people so using one around a coin seems...
I am lost in the rarified atmosphere above MS65, especially with things the size of my pinky fingernail!
Note that the seller claims it is MS61 in the title, although the coin is not graded. This is stretching the ebay rules a bit, imo. Only coins...
Registered mail costs about $25 and is the most secure way to send pricey items.
It's true that folks can do whatever the want to with their own coins. However, in my personal opinion, repairing damage to a coin is likely to...
MM looks ok to me, I have found 6 0r 7 mintmark positions for the 77-cc, this looks like one of them. Most of the TD fakes seem to be made from...
Nice thread, and if you own all 3 of these you must have a heck of a collection! Glad I saw the die crack, because i learned something new about...
I forgot to mention the hole in the reverse rim about 9:00, either from casting or a problem with transfer medium.
Still no photos.
I use Arizona Jack's technique, but with a #11 scalpel. keep the tip up against the cardboard and cut very slowly. MS 65 details,RB, scratched?
fat rims, bad dentils, and a heavy coating of Far East Frost. Yuk.
Looks fake to me. The serifs on the A should have 'rocker bottom' feet. A line drawn along the left hand edge of the lower serif of the S should...
OOOOH! Sorry to hear that.
I thought the date looked odd. Borgovan, is it in an older ANACS holder? I got burned on a fake 1877CC trade dollar in a fake, older holder.
There appears to be substantial luster left. I'll go with XF40.
Now, let's hope whoever buys it flattens it out, cuts it in half, or scribes 'fake' on it.Otherwise, It will probably wind up, eventually, being...
Poor quality fake. weird fields, bad hair, fine details and dentils. fakes abound in the Hi series.
