Based on the additional images of the second coin, my guess would be AU55-58 with questionable color.
I'm glad someone else thinks so - they sure looked like different coins to me. I was thinking that the next to last set of images was of the coin...
I agree that there are signs of wear in the set of images in which you made notations on the reverse. But I didn't see obvious wear in the images...
Thanks. As much as I appreciate how the same coin can look vastly different based on two sets of images, I still thought that was two different...
To me, both coins, as pictured, look questionable in terms of color. The first one looks AU, in large part, because of the eagle's breast. But the...
Based on the condition of the coin, the bottom line is that the date doesn't really matter.;)
Differences or similarities in toning are usually far more likely to be the result of storage or environmental conditions than they are the method...
I have seen die polish lines on a fair number of the portraits of Proof Barber coins. Certain dates are more likely than others to exhibit it, and...
To me, asking something is very different from expecting it. As far as I'm concerned, it's fine to merely agree or disagree with posted...
"Rude and crude", because I didn't care to look something up and post it at your request. And/or because I realized that you were set in your...
If you want to search through the Heritage archives to find it and view it and/or post it here with a zoom feature, feel free. I don't care to...
Even if I didn't know my stuff, the point is, that I have gone to the effort to back up my opinion, by providing an illustrated example. In order...
:confused: The coin in the first post would/should grade as high as or higher than the NGC VF35, which you say is "on target", yet you "stay with...
If that's the case, I believe that he is way too low and you are still too low. Below is an NGC VF35 for comparison - it appears to be lower grade...
Even if there were no spread, the figure of $40 is simply unrealistically low. And an XF, which some of us believe the coin to be, is bid $130.
I really don't understand a comment like that. CDN bid is $60 in (only) VG, and the coin is obviously way better than that. Please explain?
I'll go XF 40 (edited to add: VF35 at a minimum) and see no signs of cleaning.
The PCGS Price Guide prices are often unrealistically high. I don't know either way about Numismedia prices.
Unless the image of the second coin is distorting its appearance, it looks highly suspect to me. At first glance, I thought it was counterfeit,...
Here's a counterfeit Trade Dollar:...
