Abrasively cleaned.
p.s. ask Clad how many PR 69 or PR 70 slabs he buys. ;)
I think that there's a lot of money wrapped up in the slab. The future value will go down, towards the price of the proof sets they are taken...
I would keep B. Lower grade, but no porosity issues.
Here's a second set of pics. As opposed to the last photos, which used two lights, the shots to follow used only one. Please note how the...
p.s. Where's Conder when you need him? ;)
Yup. That's right. Although as stated above, I'm not sure if the original die looked like that (apparently some think the reverse die from 1829...
After further review, I'm not so sure that the doubling you see is evidence of repunching, as all examples of he coin I could find show this...

Those look pretty good, for scans. Scans will always be difficult to show the luster, but they do a great job at capturing detail. Have...
Given that the line between 69 and 70 is ARBITRARY to begin with, whose to say that one TPG's interpretation (PCGS) is any better or worse than...
p.s. I would grade the coin MS details, cleaned/recolored, net AU. For $12 you didn't do too bad.
I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I do not believe the color to be natural. Purple/blue on red copper is something to be wary of. While...
I don't want to speak for Treashunt, but the way I read his response he was calling the people who were bidding on these coins at this level to be...
