[QUOTE="Pickin and Grinin, post: 2749229, member: 73995"]Alright, I don't want to be like [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] And not let you know, How this thread started, I saw this coin in the display case. The manager/owner was talking to a customer. I asked to look at the coin, he said no problem, handed me the coin. with intentions, ( the price was on the other side). Said you got a loupe, I could see from the case that it was cleaned, no idea it was a CC yet. Saw, the flash in the Eagles wings, the display of a polished die to hide the casting, Flippped it over and saw the bubbles around the date. Said I am sorry Bud but, Did this thing weigh out and pass a diameter test? Said, yes with a disgusted look? I said, let's start with the casting bubbles, He flung the coin across the room, He said yeah, you can see the impurities in the metal. I said so? What about the 600$ price? He said, I got too much money in it.! I said you mind if I get my phone from the truck, and get some pics? he said no problem. I Said, this would be great for the CT forum. By the way,I would be giving about 35-40$ for this example. I have wondered if the polishing was done before the strike or after?[/QUOTE]
