I'd say that one was dipped a bit too long in an effort to get the black off the coin. Couple that with the field scrapes behind the eagle's head...
I think the title of this thread was his idea.
Nor did I take it that way ;)
I've got news for you, it's really hard to tell without the plastic ! And you don't want to use a microscope to try and tell that difference. You...
What can make coin collecting better ? There's a couple of different ways to read that question I think. But the one I will address is what can...
One link out of all of them in the dealer's list is no good. That's after 5, almost 6 years. That alone should be an indication of the quality of...
NGC just plain over-graded that coin, bout all there is to it. And as for whoever bought it, well they stuck right with the program and over-paid...
Well it's not exactly a term that you would hear, but I didn't know what else to call it. Look at the edge of the coin where around the slab prong...
Well that kind of depends. If you bought the coin close to its melt value then you have nothing to worry about. But if you paid a numismatic...
Why is that people always say there's no dealers near them and they have to buy on-line ? But when they do buy on-line, they go to ebay or to some...
Would be pretty tough for it to be file marks and not have them take out the top edge of the bust. Look at it, they stop just short of the top...
All ya gotta do is look. I circled and numbered 8 of them. But perhaps most interesting is the second picture. Having a hard time believing it...
This thread is a perfect example of why I was so strongly against NGC and PCGS changing their decades long policy of not slabbing any problem...
If the shipping address is the same, you won't get the coins. That's why they call it household limits. Each household has a specific address. So...
Ahhhh but people like to gamble. They want money for nothing. They want to take that coin they paid dollars for and sell it for hundreds or...
And if they took the time to do all that, and as a result their charge for doing it went up 10 fold, how many people would pay it ? This is not a...
No amount of toning would cover all of those scratches. (there are at least 6) Some yeah, but not the others. OK, but how long was the scratch...
I gotta say XF45, just not enough luster to get AU IMO.
Answer of course would depend on what ya paid for the thing, but I'll make some assumptions. Say $8,500 and go for it.
Don't think too much of it. At his age he probably didn't even realize it. And if he did, he's forgotten it by now :D
Separate names with a comma.
