So you can recycle it into more coins? :)
Take a look at the 1921 vs earlier years. The designs are slightly different, so, depending on how you define your type set, you might need two. ;)
The coin is a little darker than I generally like (though I do have a couple with some dark toning that I really love). The slab is great, and,...
I agree with AU55, but I don't know about dipped. I'm wondering if the images aren't overexposed or the white balance is off.
This is what an improperly annealed coin would look like: http://www.error-ref.com/improper-annealing/ Yours doesn't appear to be one, IMO.

If you are rich enough to own million dollar plus US rarities, then you are probably assured some kind of return. 1913 Liberty nickels and 1804...

You might get your wish soon. I'm considering having a few of my coins professionally imaged. This one might be among them.
At least the "plastic disease" doesn't spread and destroy coins! And the disease is easy to cure with 5 minutes' effort and a couple of hand...
I missed the GTG, but, on a coincidental note, a 1912 Canada 5 cent jumped out and mugged me from a dealer's case at a show this weekend. These...
Both, but only use the dip on the fingerprint. I wouldn't even try to work on the milk spot.
LOL. Why 1881?
You're probably stuck with the milk spot. Even NCS and PCGS can't remove or prevent them from forming without harming the coin. The print will...
How did you ever find the more modern pieces in AG/VG?
John, if it makes you feel better, the last show I was at, there was a dealer there who brought 7 Fugio cents, another 20 colonial coppers, 8 or...
I'm in the Bay Area. I know Todd of bluccphotos.com is local-ish in Sacramento. I'd love to find someone even more local, if anyone knows...
Amazing coins, both!
