As with most things you will get varying answers depending upon who you ask. But it has been my experience that NGC is better (more strict) with...
I stand corrected in regard to the placement of the denomination/assayer marks. Still think the coin is a fake though.
I agree the coin shows lots of wear. Also agree that it likely came from the ground.
Well, as usual I'm gonna disagree with most - only the other way this time :eek: I think the coin would make 64 quite readily. Those hits on...
What I want to know is how they came up with that VG8 grade ???????? Looks to be a G4 at the best to me. Might even be AG !!!
The result of MS 70 would be my guess.
According to an article in the recent Coin World, many are selling for 50% or less of what they last sold for.
Do not have a copy of Menzel, and have never seen any example in any book with the 8 on the left like that one.
Fair enough Jim, how about showing us pics of the other coins that you say have the same marks.

These pieces can be stunning in higher grades, beautiful in any grade ! Another nice type for your collection Conrad :thumb:
I think most world collectors would classify that a Good Very Fine. It's not quite XF IMO.
The coin has 1 glaring mistake - the 8 is on the wrong side of the coin. I know of no example, from any mint or date, ever found where the 8 is on...
Well, were I judging it I'd say harshly cleaned as well. The area just above the date is the most telling IMO. By the same token, yes there are...
Agree, XF details but damaged. Net grade low VF at best and probably F.
Works for me ;)
My point is this ahearn, a typical coin (silver) from the Atocha sells for say $3000. You can buy the exact same coin for, without the Atocha...
Clembo has it pegged. 90% or more of the dealers would do the same. The rest will offer to pay even less.
Were I grading it I'd say 64. There are a few hits on the obv, hair and collar are the worst, rest are minor. But the hit in the center of the...
