Decent coins but not much on the wood scale.

 

Seller stated this coin was AU. I don't see it. Does any one else?

 

AU on eBay equals EF in real world. Bay one can say anything but no a number grade.

 

I'm seeing a solid 65RB(not that the TPGs would give that to a woodie). I'd probably even go 66 on it. That's a nice looking find. There are some good deals to be had on Ebay, because I've found that a lot of sellers have a hard time reconciling RB or BN coins with MS, and a lot of times they undergrade those as AU(or worse).

 

MS 64 or 65 based on woodie, you know TPGs dont like woodies as much as we do.

 

Anacs MS 63-65RB
Ngc MS 62-64RB
Pcgs plain submission Unc Color issues
Pcgs Secure & extra fee for the sniffer
MS-62-63RB

 

Ignoring the TPG's biases, I went 64+/65 and decided it was a 65. I really do not see AU.

 

Very cool coin! I have never seen one of those before. Didn't know that that was a thing.

 

Look through the rest of the thread. You will see a bunch of them.

 

WG-65, beautiful 1918!

 

I will thanks for the tip

 

Post in wrong thread....a ripped one! So here it is in the right thread.

Try some acetone on that one. Those spots might just go away, but no guarantees.

 

Phankins11, those look like fibers above the date. If that's what those are, stuck-on fibers, acetone should loosen what's sticking them.
