AU with a 60 up grade is just a little thing we do to explain certain coins on CT....it's just forum slang. :D ....and we like it!!
Yes, the 25-D and S were some of the worst issues ever made. The dies were coming from Philly and the branch mints had a hard time getting fresh...
...and since you said this is a reverse thread, I'm not showing you the obverses of any of these coins. See why we focus on the obverse now? LOLOLOL
1939-D reverse....NGC says this is a 66....I say they are WRONG!
My 1931 toner reverse with lighting changes:
The reverse of my 1917
This angled picture brings out what you can't see on the perpendicular picture....even though it makes the coin look much worse than it actually is.
Nope....it's GUESS the grade. LOL This is one of those coins that go either way, depending on the day. The only evidence of wear rub I can see...
That's a nice one and great pics too! Sorry, not FS though, same comment as above.
Look at the first 3 steps or so in the middle. That coin is not FS....close...but no cigar.
Right on brother! Merry Christmas cladking! You da man!
Looks like some of the stuff is on the slab, fingerprints on the reverse, hard to spot wear from the pics. AU-64
Personally, I love this coin! About as original as they get. :D Guess the grade!
Nah, it's not your fault, it's the forums and the way it handles the larger images.
There's hardly a hit on it, good 65, nice, undipped surfaces. The print is the only thing that bothers me, but it's minor.
The red and black colors come from either chemicals the coin was exposed to during circulation (most likely) or the formation of cupric or cuprous...
A thousand bucks is reasonable, just a bit over NGC and under the PCGS by a mile. This will bring the values down if the sale is known to PCGS....
Merry Christmas! :D
The values are approximate, some high, some low, some pretty darn close. Do not use it as a final price guide. It is not published with that...
Our stupid gov at work. STOP PRINTING ONES! It's simple, problem solved.
