You can't grade this coin unless you have it in hand with a loupe. The toning breaks and color blend with the surfaces and prevent us from making...
Xf40... but just barely.

This is correct. These days, I've found that nice, certified, eye appealing high grade coins are in demand. I pay a premium for rare, toned...
Also, for those who thought it was an UNC, look at the newest pic in the holder. The luster is around the stars and date, etc, but the luster...

You have to be careful with 1825's, 1826's, & 1831's. Those particular years the strikes were often HAMMERED. I understand that this coin has...

Message me with offers if interested. I accept postal money orders, PayPal gift, or regular PayPal (add 2.7%). Insured priority mail shipping is...
I'd be happy overall. But PCGS is notoriously hard on times and capped bust halves, particularly the reeded edge ones. I've sent a couple UNC ones...
That's so awesome. I'm glad they were trained, but I bet the racing community is so tight that anyone would have stopped to go help.
Hope he's ready to go racing again when he's all healed up. And BTW it's very cool that the Marines who helped won that leg of the race and got...
