The "nasty scrape/scratch/rub" is not PMD. Those are adjustment marks. Lance.
Nice detail. I would grade her AU58. Not a fan of the splotchy color on both sides. Maybe camera images would change my mind. Lance.
Andy is very cool. Get to know him and he'll go far out of his way to take care of you. His small cents and nickels are really superior. Trouble...
This arrived yesterday from Andy Skrabalak (Angel Dees), one of the finest small cents dealers around. His website sucks but if you run into him...
I wish. The slightest rub will send an MS coin into AU territory. Some folks joke about coins being AU64. This one has very little rub but just...
For reference, here's an MS64 1795 Flowing Hair half dime I shot last week. It's a $35,000 coin (and not mine!). Lance. [IMG][IMG]

That's cool, coppermania. I like it. Don't feel awkward paying more than "book" for an eye appealing coin. That's the way it works and should. I...

Exactly. Chances are extremely high it is fake. A genuine one would be in a respectable TPG holder and worth perhaps $10,000. Lance.
If you are ethical you won't lie, twist the truth, or take advantage. Treat people as you would have them treat you. Put yourself in the shop...
Grading from pictures is hard enough when they're excellent. What you have is certainly better than most ebay auctions. You are allowed to cite...
Here's one of mine from El Cazador, 8 reales. Every collector ought to have an example of "America's first dollar". Lance. [IMG][IMG]
We're going to need a little more information than that to have an opinion, don't you think? Lance.
Well that's it for me! Obviously standards have plummeted. Lance.
He's bad a math? Lance.
The one that was pulled and relisted was also fake and killed by ebay. The seller does have another '31-S (your second photo) and it appears...
