Vic I think it's great that you can get great coins at great prices . But you might be missing what I believe is half the fun of collecting and...
Well you can keep me company as I didn't get it either , hey maybe we're the smart ones . lol
I agree Doc , either a solution was brushed on or the coin was wiped before it was toned .
Heck that's how Frank got all his Busties and Barbers .
Doesn't look natural to me .
Definitely cleaned and quite harshly . Too bad as it was a nice coin at one time before it was scrubbed .
When you least expect it , you're elected , it's your lucky day . SMILE ......................... I'm gonna get ya Frank !!!!!
Great haul for a couple bucks . What else can you buy with that today ? I'm still filling my old blue Whitman . Though now It's mostly upgrades...
Chris , wouldn't that affect the whole design , not just the high points as this one is ?
Finally got it .
OK I was wrong , time for a different tact , the one behind it that kind of looks like a Spanish cob . BTW what are they made of ?
Top 1 would be my pick and I think yours also . Nice haul .
Maybe it was when they were adjusting the dies . That's the worst one I've ever seen .
Not bad and better than mine . Though a little blurry all details show .
I think they got it right as an over all grade . It's a nice coin for someone that can't afford a 65 as even the obverse has some nice color...
I only look at my 6th Edition , after you got Ken Bressett to sign my 7th Edition I don't want to wreck it . ;)
I'm with Frank on this one 58 . But a beautiful 58 that should grade AU-62 . Love that reverse though .
I know that the design has an indent , or whatever it's called there . But like I tried to say I thought it took a hit in the same exact spot ....
Dang , the more I look at it , it looks like the original design as it would be sharper if it were a hit . Nice coin either way .
Frank , I don't think that's part of the design , looks to me to be more a hit where the little indent usually is . Though my eyes are quite bad ,...
