[QUOTE="CheetahCats, post: 904154, member: 23874"]Per Breen's, Page 18, #61, Noe 29: The X in XII appears a little off. The plate illustrated shows the X tilted slightly counterclockwise. Per Whitman's, Page 49, W-930, Noe 29: The X in XII appears a little off. The plate illustrated shows the X tilted slightly counterclockwise. (Note that the specimen illustrated appears to be different than the one illustrated in Breen's.) Other than that, at first glance, it looks spot on. The COA - who issued it? And what does it cover? Breen advises the following for grading: Good: All legends legible; tree and inner circle beads may be weak. Fine: All leaves boldly clear. Higher Grades: Grade by surface. Whitman's lists a F-12 at $1900. I'd consult HA.com If you have any interest in buying it, I would have a [U]written[/U] agreement between you and the SELLER (not the party listed on the COA) that you can return the specimen for full refund + TPG costs if it doesn't come back as Authentic from a TPG. If you're willing to spend that kind of cash, and he doesn't want to sign the written agreement, I'd take my business elsewhere to find one.[/QUOTE]
