Definitely wiped at some point, but has re-toned nicely. Tough call on whether it'd grade or not. I'm at 51/49... the 51% chance being it...
That's a dimple?! :eek: For a date known for decent contrast, I'm surprised they called that DMPL...
Any opinion on the "Modern Minting Process: Errors and Varieties" course? Kind of sounds like my cup of tea...
Same here! :D See you there!
If all goes as planned, I should be attending :)
Well, today is the deadline! Hopefully all you YNs were on the ball :) See you in Colorado! :hail:
Sweet score, Greg :thumb: Your wife told me last night that she approves of your purchase... :devil: :p
Well, sort of. Die breaks are usually only referred to as "cuds" when they connect to the coin's rim. Die breaks can occur pretty much anywhere...
My analysis... Your coin was struck once properly (in the collar). It didn't exit the striking chamber properly, and was subsequently struck a...
The absence of the top of the 'D' isn't the result of a die break. Think - when a die break occurs, and a coin is subsequently struck, wouldn't...
The lack of detail is the result of a poor strike - not a strike-through. Poor strikes are typical of this odd denom. And what in the world is a...
I concur. They are a major distraction, even if the detail is more consistent with 62/63. If there were a decent spread between the value of a...
I'm sorry, but that thing is butt ugly... but a $1.00 price tag makes it the prettiest thing in the world! :p Well done! :thumb:
Nice eagle! :thumb: I'd call it 61, maybe 62 on a good day. But personally, I'd keep it raw. This isn't a highly-counterfeited type of coin, and...
This coin scares me a bit... The design detailing just isn't at par with an authentic Seated dollar, and everything just looks a bit "mushy"....
Easily 65BN, but possibly 66BN. :thumb: And a very nice one at that! :) But out of curiosity - is the coin raw and you're just looking for...
I'll always chime in when you least expect it... ;)

It's a bulk-submission coin that didn't grade "gem" (MS65 or higher). Upon a dealer's request, PCGS will only numerically grade coins that grade...
If the strike weren't so good for an O-mint, I'd have said 62... But even with all of the distractions (spotty toning, subdued luster, chatter,...
