<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 644811, member: 2972&quot;]Remember, you asked for it....</p><p><br /></p><p>The FEC is very nicely struck for the issue.&nbsp; However, I suspect it&#039;s been cleaned and will come back from PCGS with altered surfaces or cleaned.&nbsp; It also appears to have PVC or a light green corrosion spot in the obverse field that concerns me.&nbsp; If it does slab, I would expect a low MS grade, something like 61 or 62, but I don&#039;t think that is likely.</p><p><br /></p><p>The St. Gaudens looks to me like an AU 63.&nbsp; In other words, it could come back AU 58, could come back 62 or 63.&nbsp; The photos, however, don&#039;t show the leg well, and you really need to get a good look at this detail to be able to grade these, so please consider my comments with this in mind.&nbsp; It does appear to have very nice luster, and of the coins you posted, this is my favorite.</p><p><br /></p><p>The grainy photo of the 14-d has me really, really confused.&nbsp; It appears to have VF details, but I can&#039;t get a feel for what the surfaces of the coin really look like.&nbsp; There is some odd streaking that makes me say cleaned, but it almost looks like banding noise on a low-end digicam.&nbsp; I don&#039;t feel comfortable even guessing if this coin will or will not slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Indian quarter eagle looks to me to have mint state or AU details, but it appears polished in the photos, so therefore I suspect it won&#039;t slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>Said bluntly, I would strongly recommend not buying any more coins until you have the requisite experience to spot problem coins. Alternatively, and if you are going to drop this kind of dough, I would strongly recommend that you find a <b>good</b> dealer or three (i.e. not the ones you bought these coins from) and buy from them exclusively.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All of the above in my honest opinion, respectfully submitted, and looking forward to the update from PCGS showing I&#039;m 100% dead wrong....Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
