<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ctrl, post: 383497, member: 13378&quot;]I still haven&#039;t been able to weigh it just yet, but after examining it closely in hand and comparing with verified examples, it seems that weakness in those two stars isn&#039;t unheard of even in high-grades for this coin. Additionally, all the diagnostics match with authentic examples. My feeling after examining it carefully and comparing is that it&#039;s authentic, and I&#039;ll be sending it into NCS hopefully to be passed through to NGC, but with detail grading at least. Do you guys think NGC would slab it with the dipping it&#039;s had?</p><p><br /></p><p>The thickness is right at 1mm it seems and the diameter is right on as well. I&#039;ll get the weight this week (I need to buy a gram scale).</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, MS-67s with weakness in the right-hand star in particular: </p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=394&amp;Lot_No=2407" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=394&amp;Lot_No=2407" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=394&amp;Lot_No=2407</a></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=380&amp;Lot_No=5542" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=380&amp;Lot_No=5542" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=380&amp;Lot_No=5542</a></p><p><br /></p><p>and even the Eliasberg example shows some weakness there:</p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=360&amp;Lot_No=4168" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=360&amp;Lot_No=4168" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=360&amp;Lot_No=4168</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Other examples:</p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=366&amp;Lot_No=6632" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=366&amp;Lot_No=6632" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=366&amp;Lot_No=6632</a></p><p><a href="http://www.helpmagician.net/auctpics/14s25c58.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.helpmagician.net/auctpics/14s25c58.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.helpmagician.net/auctpics/14s25c58.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=327&amp;Lot_No=1259" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=327&amp;Lot_No=1259" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=327&amp;Lot_No=1259</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It has definitely been dipped, and aside from some very light surface abrasions on the right of the obverse seen only at the right light angle, the fields and details are squeaky clean and smooth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
