Message:: [QUOTE="bkozak33, post: 2121809, member: 30309"]No, The coin was for sale at a local coin shop, and I contemplated it for my collection for months.  My primary concern being in a ICG slab was if the coin was cleaned or not.  I liked the toning, had an ok feeling that it was legit.  I PM member that I respect here on Cointalk, and asked him his feelings on ICG and cleaned coins.  He felt secure enough that if the coin was cleaned ICG would catch it.  He was not secure if ICG would have an accurate graded.  So then I came back to the toning, and felt I could live with it either way, as I really liked it for a toned Barber.  I bought it, and then as time went on, I bought these two.[ATTACH=full]402290[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]402291[/ATTACH] Now I had 3 Barber Half dollars and I wanted to free up some money so I listed the ICG Barber.  That coin had zero interest for months, so I thought its a nice coin the one thing that is holding it back is the slab.  So while looking through my personal database of toned coins I came across this one,  which has that same battleship grey obverse with neon blue toning as well.  Also the reverse shows more luster and has very little toning.  So I became confident it would cross.[ATTACH=full]402289[/ATTACH] This coin I owned briefly and is graded by PCGS.  So that is my story.  A good portion of my coins I sell, I like, that way if I get stuck with it, It's okay.[/QUOTE]
