Thank you for the info. I will spend the coin now. Appreciate the appraisal.
I sent this specimen into SEGS and they thought it was post mint damage. What do you think? Accurate call made or not? The particular area of...
The first coin. Cleaned coins never look better.
I am going to ask you for a favor, @40_mila_kokkina. Please don't make blanket statements that condemn other people’s holdings, which many...
Yep this is one I would want for my collection. Curious, how does this one grade? I'm guessing AU-58.
I know so because I've looked at enough Bay Bridge specimens. The truly original ones I can spot. Again, I'm not saying it's a bad coin. Some very...

My Ecuador 5000 Sucres 1994, 1936-S Bay Bridge Half Dollar & 1875-S 20 Cent piece are at SEGS getting graded. I picked up an ANACS 1876 20 Cent...
I established that my specimen pictured is lightly cleaned. John's Bay Bridge is also cleaned but professionally. Coin grading up to MS-64 are...
I have less experience with gold so cannot make a good call on that one.
It is a cleaned coin. I know this coin very well. Original ones won't have a luster like the one shown in johnmilton's photograph.
ICG seems okay as a grading service but their holder isn't too good. Lots of them don't react well with the coins. I've seen older soap dish NGC...
Hate to pee on your parade but your Bay Bridge is also a cleaned coin but professionally done. The 1907 $10 Indian looks splendid though. The Bay...

End result shown. I found the possible cleaning. It exists under and to the left of the chin area in the field. Very slight. It seems SEGS finds...
Your point is worthless. The majority are often wrong.
This web site sucks. Can't even express myself here in trying to drive home a point. Treat everyone like this Jim and before long you'll be left...
