I would say that is your best bet. Problem is going to be that most people won't even know what it is. Only collectors of Portugese coins will...
Gonna disagree with ya on this one pal, that coin is AU all day long and it got bumped with value grading.
The coin has been harshly cleaned, fine scratches all over the place. And it has very unusual wear pattern. I would normally suspect it was a...
Actually eddie many of them did circulate. There are lots of AU/XF double eagles. And yes it could be cabinet friction or roll friction,...

Yeah if ya want to wait a few months it might work.
Good job - now go find me another one :D

I agree, but if you take into consideration the typical toning on other series with their differences in surface texture, my theory sure makes a...

Haven't we talked about this coin before ? Or was that just another '87 with a weak strike ? The coin doesn't even deserve a 63 and they gave...
Sure glad to see you're consistent Mike :D
I'm told it doesn't work quite the same on silver as it does on nickel, but you could use Nik-A-Date.
Jim I'm confused. In this pic you show 2 coins in the Verdigone solution (marked with a V) - what happened to the second coin ?
Killer coin ! Monticello is just about all there :thumb:
Out of all the coins posted on this forum, one of you please name the time that a TPG dropped the grade of a coin because of a weak strike. I...
Zane I gotta say - you're making me work here pal ! Lot's of killer coins you've been posting. I gotta say AU55 on this, too much luster gone...
Amen !
Boy I don't know what you guys are seeing, or rather not seeing, but based on the pics I'd have to say that coin is AU. Looks like light wear on...
Appears to have light wear on the reverse and I'd say 58. But it sure wouldn't surpise me a bit if NGC said MS63.
