At least you looked this time. :P If it's not AU58, it's a strong 63 with a shot at 64.
....which is the point of the slanted orientation of the "vertical" dotted lines in rlm's illustration - those serifs having parallel faces are a...
Where are you acquiring your true X and Y axes from which to illustrate spacing deviations? The horizontal white dots in rlm's illustration should...
Why not just find some Heritage Archive images in excruciating resolution - finding all 4 date positions shouldn't be difficult - and do a...
I'd be completely unconcerned about it "progressing" in any fashion. The overwhelming majority of known 1820's are not only Mint State, they're...
Please tell me they didn't send you a Proof coin in a paper envelope. Either mintage method, if anyone ever sent me a NIFC strike in direct...
Foine. :P
You're going to have to wait for pics, because the slab is scratched and I have to polish it. If you're not willing to wait, it's now my full...

Well, assign the mention of a Cameo Proof to hyperbole, which is what it was. :) I have a fair amount of experience with sandblasting - I used to...
So, I've had this coin on layaway from Pinnacle Rarities. I paid off the layaway the other day, and true to form they shipped it the same day....
Yes, I will cheerfully concede that since there's no way to determine what it looked like out of the Mint. It could have been a Cameo Proof....
Probably Mint State, if only because the (numerous) marks argue against circulation. The marks/gouges, especially those on higher areas, are what...
The easiest method is, as you've done, presenting the reverse of the coin as if the obverse were flipped accurately along its' horizontal axis....
I'm minded of a line from Sawyer Brown's Mission Temple Fireworks Stand: "It's like takin' twenty dollars, y'all, and watching it explode."
Standard procedure for savvy sellers. If there's room for more than two characters left in your title, you're not maximizing your Search exposure....
