I would not consider grading it - it is F to VF details. The pinkish color in the pictures makes it look cleaned. Now - as mentioned if it is...
Technically it should not matter. PCGS or NGC will cover the slab before grading it. Most people don't believe that and crack them out - then...
Well - I voted cause if I did not want it, then I would not buy it. So that makes the other three answers moot. :) As it is - spread across all...
Tough lesson to be learned. But as mentioned you do still have a genuine coin.
Well never really tried to grade one of these - so I am going with 65. It seems to match the description perfectly for a 65 - small blemishes,...
My opinion - not saying all graded coins are the correct grade, but you should be able to say the same thing for any set of grades and even within...
Not sure about that - we have to hear from Doug. I think cleaning was acceptable by a certain percentage of collectors. Plus - depending on how...
Do varieties count? I search ebay and heritage routinely. One day I noticed a IHC ending on a Tuesday. I knew the variety and confirmed it by...
With Morgans and TPG's it is doomed. To me a rim ding is a flattened area on the rim, a rim tick is just a little nick on the edge of the rim. I...

I do the same thing - I look at the coin form my opinion, post my reply without looking at other answers. A few times I have been way(way way)...
Ping to the top.....
Can't cover the investing angle - I have no way to speculate what the values might be. But I can say I like bust coinage the best. I think the...
Well - I learned something new today, so I can rest easy tonight. I will have to add this to my check list of things to look for while looking...
Well - personally I agree with doug on the first two. They had 0 eye appeal to me - just my humble opinion no offense intended. For 4 and 5 -...
I agree in a sense with the last two posts. No one way to collect and collect what interests you. At the same time it can make it tougher to...
I agree, but will add that I believe NGC will grade them and leave them in the holder. Just thought I would mention that.
(1) I know what you mean about local dealers and no major shows in my area. But as for dealing online - well I probably have 30 sellers book...
Not sure - some people start out enthusiastic and it dies quick with the seriousness that some people take with collecting. Right or wrong - it...
