I have the wax, but I've never really found the results to be overly pleasing to account for the cost of the wax. [ATTACH]
I like all three, but I think I'm seeing double on the first ;). Actually, I like the newbie very much. Just look at that imposing portrait!...
You're right. During either the soaking or brushing there appears to be a section behind the eagle as well as behind the head on the opposite side.
It almost seemed like red clay.
Just like old times, eh?
Both are nice coins, but I can't explain that kind of difference. Obviously the xf is better, but not that much better to explain $9600.
Nice coins Jerry
I guess I do not offer him enough since he has refused my offers on a couple different coins.
Great coin TIF. Love the design and the coloring.

Very nice, John. I do not have any of these, but I've been wanting a nice one like yours (of course at bargain basement prices). Anyway,...

You are most probably correct, but I'm pretty darn sure this is a fake and I can't find a match in the forgery sites. I wouldn't even think about...
Very nice photography Kurt. Maybe in my next life I will learn how to use a camera.
It looks fake on both sides. I think I may have found a match on Forgery Network: http://forgerynetwork.com/asset.aspx?id=~x~2seNCjQIIU=
I have to agree with Doug. I don't think you lost anything cleaning it. Now you know for sure what you have. The way it was could not be...
Another fine and desirable coin. Good detail especially on the reverse.
