No. That would leave a very distinctive pattern in the surfaces that this coin does not possess. This coin is not whizzed - it is polished. There...
Depends on which TPG you go to. PCGS calls them PO-01, NGC calls them PR-01. If it was a proof, NGC would call it a PF-01, PCGS would call it a PR-01.
This. Any detrimental changes from acetone result from the negative eye appeal of actually removing the stuff. If there was some organic buildup...
I think AU is optimistic. I agree with those who've said EF details, cleaned and damaged (if you really want a number, its a 45). I think at $64...
Haha, this thread has become quite entertaining!
I think it is accurately graded at 63. I think cracking it and sending it in will cost you unnecessary money, and will loose the cool slab. You...
This is well outside my normal collecting range, but I don't see anything immediately obvious that points to fake. As for grade, is there decent...
I've dealt a couple of times recently with Atlas Numismatics. They have higher end material, and the prices are strong (to be fair, the material...
Dang, that fake is scary good. Would have fooled me, for sure!
Someone counterfeited a counterfeit! Oh no! Better call the sheriff!
I agree. Way too many tickmarks on the obverse for that!
I've had success rotating coins in the old circumference gasket slabs (especially NGC). I've not had much success rotating the prong style slabs...
Thanks for the additional pics! They confirm the MS grade. I still maintain 63 for the reasons outlined in my first post - but the new pics make...
No. Not even remotely.
I disagree. No, not even close.
Strike is weak. Luster is a little below average. Eye appeal is neutral. There are a number of tickmarks on the obverse. I think this all...
Well, I'm sure the coin looks completely different in hand than those pics! Those pictures are dark, underlit, and don't show the coin well. I'll...
This is getting ridiculous.... First there was the "lowball" sets.... weird, strange, backwards, and who would pay a premium for a worse coin?...
Yeah, just polished. You can do this with baking soda and a toothbrush.
There is a subforum here for ancient coins. The members there are extremely knowledgeable, and can probably tell you what you have, even in these...
Separate names with a comma.
