<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrOrange1970, post: 2506034, member: 80547&quot;]Hello all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I did an impulse buy at an auction.&nbsp; Funny how you throw an offer our there expecting to get beat and then you end up taking home the goods.</p><p>Because I&#039;m starting the long process of building an 18th century type set with examples in the best condition I can afford, I figured why not give it a shot.&nbsp; The auctioneer gets good reviews (Silvertowne).</p><p><br /></p><p>A few things that set off the normal alarm bells.&nbsp; </p><p>The cent is encased in a LVCS Capsule (Liberty View Certification Services).&nbsp; I can&#039;t find them anywhere except for items that are a part of this auction.</p><p>It&#039;s rated MS 61-RB.&nbsp; Coinworld doesn&#039;t have a category for this rating (MS-62 and MS 62).</p><p>It&#039;s a pretty coin and seems to have decent luster though there is a bit of staining, the strike looks a bit weak (most stars don&#039;t have the inner lines) and there appears to be a bit of verdigris on the reverse.&nbsp; </p><p>A few questions:</p><p>1. Authentic - Yes/No</p><p>2. Personal Rating - MS, AU, etc</p><p>3. Opinion about if it&#039;s been cleaned</p><p>4. Opinion on whether I should crack the slab, use Verdi Care on it and either submit to NCG, PCGS or ANACS or if the price is worth it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]532405[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]532406[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
