I think everyone should defer saying anything until @ed wood 654 tells us all first

 

Ok I am happy to help you with this, I am not a expert on these coints actually but I don't mind at all sending this to one of my graders that work for me to help out

 

Just so this gem is captured for all to see

 

Oooh oooh I know! I have one that looks just like that one. But i wont give away the answer. Wouldnt want to take the spotlight off anyone

 

I believe that I know the year without asking anyone who may or may not, work for me and I'm not an expert at nuttin.

 

I guess this may take a spell...maybe a reply in the morning

 

Wow, chewed up and spit out counterfeit 1853? I like it.

Edit- Or could it be genuine and just gouged for the copper? I'm intrigued..

 

No idea, I figured it could be identified by the artifact within and below the O of one cent. The best I can figure is 1848 N-18, but I have about zero confidence in that. Can't wait until Ed responds with what his world class graders said.

 

My staff looked at this and they decided that with out having this coin in our hands that we cant really be exactly sure for 100%

 

After all, who could even remotely consider venturing a guess without being 100% positive.

 

Hey, @ed wood 654
May, I ask for your contract, Business license, Insurance, Mailing Address, Do you have a web site that can, Confirm, Receipt, and Return?
I Have a few coins that I would like you to grade, these would be of nominal value to @Paddy54 coin.
But, with all that you speak, I would like to know your evaluation?

Where you been?
What is your turn around time like?
How much time do you, take to evaluate the coin?
Do you have certain denominations that You evaluate Yourself?
or, Do you let your employees dictate your Name, and public persona.

Are we getting an evaluation or, a guarantee?

 

Yeah pm me your contact information and I will over night this one to you.

 

Oh my gosh this is ridiculous. "Need in hand" why would @Paddy54 say what the weight is?

Hey I think I saw one of these in an SGS slab not too long ago

 

GTE=?

Guess the E...?

 

With Ed out, Can we guess? How about 1856 SLANTED 5

 

For those who are curious, this is Ed's finalizer who evaluated the photo

 

Yes, it's a proprietary process known as "Tactile Coin Grading" - patent pending.

The fingerprints all over MS coins are just a calling card signifying that your coin has been touched by greatness.

 

I was the sound guy for the finalizer at the Jazz Fest in New Orleans last year. Too bad he got rained out, but still cool to meet.

 

Wow, that lineup looked awesome. Hopefully you got to see some shows.
