Sorry, but that is IGC graded and not ICG. The coin appears to me to be grossly overgraded and likely cleaned beyond belief. I am not an expert...
Do these pics look any better,Doug. The reverse is a pretty good representative of the true color, but I cannot get it on the obverse for some...
Really, Doug, I cannot see anything there with my eye. With the loupe, the lines to the left appear to be die polish lines - just a guess because...
A couple other questions; Why is he not given credit for the ASE? The SF mint was closed 1956 - 1968. I do not have time to find it now,...
You need to read a little more. If they were not official minted in 1792, them your answer for #8 is wrong. The Washington's silver was...
Are you saying ICG has never over or under graded a coin? I thought that one of their problems was that they were not as consistent as NGC/PCGS....
There were more than that. To quote Heritage;
OK, here you go! BTW, I reduced the picture to the size you are supposed to grade coins, 5X (actually got 6X on my computer), and not 15X. On...
I did not realize the the planchet flaw would affect the grade that much. That being said, most of your "marks" described above are not on the...
Here is an article that was posted earlier in a discussion of acetone. I did not and still do not think that it is relevant for the method and...
grading companys (sic; companies) are really getting greedy - Greedy? They charge the same for a slab as they do for a body bag. What is...
DJP7x0s I hope you are planning to post the answers. Some of those questions had answers that were a little ambiguous to me.
My pics are lousy for slabs. In hand, that coin looks a 64 to me. If you take off for the "TRUST" and planchet flaw, maybe a 63. However, you...
I will vote for #71
Pretty much the color is sort of a cross between the two and I think it is better looking than either picture. As for the nicks and rims of...
You need to see this coin. http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t45586/#post489902 I think it will meet your requirements for the one you are looking for.
Here are Heritage's pics.
I would sooner think that the "trust" is weak because of some grease. The rest of the details are definitely there - particularly for this date....
Maybe someone can explain the grading on this coin. I think I am missing something. It is graded by ICG. BTW, that mark on the shoulder is a...
You have no clue how long I have been looking for that guy's baby brother. That is one very tough coin to find. Congratulations!
