Here are two '27-D's, a grade point apart. The woodgrain lines are tight but unmistakable. Lance. [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG]
I agree, Thad. I reported it even though the auction is over. ebay will usually void the transaction if not too much time has elapsed. Lance.
Got it! PM returned. I'll do my best for you, buddy. Semper fidelis! Lance.
Indeed, Rob. It's impossible to imagine. Funny...everyone raves about the beauty of the St. Gaudens DE. Hard to argue, for sure. But don't you...
I bought this back in the late '90s, just after my father passed away. He was born the same year it was minted. Lance. [IMG][IMG]
I'm not much of a Jefferson guy but it looks to me around AU53-55. Could go up or down, depending on luster. Lance.
It's all good, whatever you decide, ILS. I wasn't trying to impress you with references...you said you were more than a little nervous about...
Sometimes a "grade" upgrade doesn't quite cut it. I like the old, lower grade one better. I kept them both. Lance. OLD [IMG][IMG] NEW [IMG][IMG]

Gorgeous, Rob! That has a very pretty look and appears to have spectacular luster. First class images, as always. Lance.
What is AG? I'm sure you don't mean AG3. I have seen a PCGS holder with 58RB. I just assumed it was a mechanical error. Lance.
Serious woodie, alright. But I can understand someone guessing there is PMD. Maybe a better photo would explain what appears to be a gash down...
Looks like nice luster on the reverse! Maybe it's the photo but it looks like hairlines sweeping across liberty's face and the left field. Have...
