[QUOTE="illini420, post: 661277, member: 19423"][b]Upgraded my AU55[/b] I really wish this forum would allow folks to update/edit old posts, but anyways, I was able to "upgrade" my old AU55 example with a new one that I bought at the ANA show here in L.A. This new example (picture 1) looks much much better than the previous example (picture 2) which I believe to have been messed with in some way as it just has a very unnatural glossy look to it to sort of fake luster. Just another good example of why to buy the coin itself and not necessarily the grade stamped on the plastic holder as these two are definitely not equal coins. New AU55: [IMG]http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1908sIHC55o.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1908sIHC55r.jpg[/IMG] Old AU55: [IMG]http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1908sIHCau55obv.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1908sIHCau55rev.jpg[/IMG] Thanks again everyone for the comments and I'd like to see more of you post there 1908-S Indian Cents...
