I was perusing Heritage, as I often do on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I saw the upcoming sale of the Skidaway Island collection on Heritage. This...
Yup, looks like a sneeze. Sell it and get a nicer one.
Well, I'm a little late to teh party, but I was going to say VF-30.
I would be concerned that attempting to remove the spots would alter the color of the reverse. You'd hate to loose the matched yellowish color on...
65RB - but the color in these photos looks weird.
That fingerprint kills it. I was going to guess 63BN, but I'd only pay a 62 price.
Whitman blue folders are perfect for a set like this (and eliminate the PVC concern). When I was first starting, I pored over all my dad's pocket...
65BN. The color on the reverse is very attractive.
The surfaces look good enough to slab. I don't see strong hairlines, and if it was cleaned then it was a very long time ago. The spots are minor,...
I think that is very reasonable. The coin is a strong 65 with a very real shot at 66, if your photos are accurate. In order to get anywhere near...
If you made me choose, I would go with "none of the above, but C is the best of this bunch." A's strike is weak, and looks to be the lowest grade...
I don't talk too much about fingerprints in my book, because they are a controversial topic. I have a strong bias on the subject, and in my book I...
Sorry :( I hate posting negative opinions, but sometimes I have to.... Fingerprints are my pet peeve, although they don't seem to bother most...
I'll guess 64RD to be conservative, since the blurry pics can hide a lot. The reverse looks a little scuffy. At the right price, this is the...
While PCGS may give it a higher grade, I won't. The fingerprint automatically limits it to 65 in my book (and for a huge print like that, I'm more...
The haziness limits this to 65 in my opinion. That should be a really easy fix though, in which case this could be a 66 or 67 (or higher). It also...
geekpryde - thanks for the review. I hadn't heard of any issues with print quality before. I'm not sure what happened with your copy. As you may...
I hope you enjoy it!
I value that coin at MS-65, no matter what the number on the slab may say. The fingerprints automatically limit the value of that coin for me...
Even if the coins are slabbed, including teh original packaging can be a plus.
