I don't see any remaining luster from that photo and combination of wear and weak strike, I say XF40
VF Details, Harshly cleaned, Run
My point was that the 39-D is the key date of the series and would be worthy of grading submission if in gem state, regardless of the step detail.
Looks like die wear to me, but that is a Rosie, not a Jeff.
That listing violates the PNG Code of Ethics which states: IMO, GSC does this routinely with their raw coins. If they were overly optimistic...
I need to ask, do you think that the scratches on the obverse of that coin will keep the coin from grading as a problem free coin?
Another option is to completely refuse to do business with a dealer who doesn't conform to the ethical standards of the PNG, and to warn new...
I don't know how much it sold for, but the Sunnywood 1881-S represents the pinnacle of rainbow toned coins IMO. [IMG]
Wait, so you admit that there are problem coins in their inventory that are being sold without the problem being divulged? This is my whole...

In my experience, most proof collectors prefer cameo examples with high contrast, deep mirrors, and little to no toning. This blue hazy toning is...
Is that a light fingerprint on the neck? I still say PR67 CAM.
And who would that seller be?
It could be low BU with muted luster but I'm leaning towards an AU slider. The real question is, what did the seller of this coin advertise the...
Nope, and I don't own it, and it isn't even my photo.
It doesn't work that way. The 1939 Nickels shared two reverses. They named the reverses for the year before and the year after. Obviously the...
This is the PNG Code of Ethics. They routinely violate at least two clauses. If they had a graded Jefferson I needed I wouldn't hesitate to buy...
I bet the guys from GSC think the coin is obviously cleaned. And you asked me "how else he could say it?" Instead of the 100 word qualifier he...
They graded it VF/XF in the title. That is not a problem free coin, it has been cleaned or polished or both. Eh, 90% of E-Bay sellers have never...
