[QUOTE="johnny54321, post: 839895, member: 13342"][b]Coin Received[/b] Received coin, and photographed it. Good news: [LIST=1] [*]The coin is very detailed, definitely AU details imo. [*]The color is a pleasing dark brown, instead of the "black" that the sellers pics made it look like(you were right Mark). [*]There is absolutely no corrosion or microporosity on the coin, even under a 30x loupe. [*]Though the pictures make the nicks look bad, they aren't that distracting in hand. [/LIST]Not quite as good news(what holds it back from AU imo): [LIST=1] [*]There is very little luster remaining, just hints around the devices. [*]The coin has a bit of a glossy look. [/LIST]These things make me think the coin was wiped or "conserved" at some point. Not bad enough to leave hairlines or mess with the color, but enough to make ANACS "silently" net the coin at XF-45. I concur with that grade btw, and am definitely keeping it since I would be hard pressed to find a similarly detailed corrosion free CHLC for under 2 grand. Here are some additional pictures:[/QUOTE]
