<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 277964, member: 6036&quot;]Your instincts are superb, Boris ! The 1849-D is a valuable piece. Get it certified.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s hard to tell from the photo, but it doesn&#039;t appear to be cleaned. It has clear evidence of wear (Libby&#039;s hair above forehead, eagle&#039;s feathers), so I think it&#039;s XF, quite likely AU. Very spendy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It has a nice strike - the word LIBERTY and the coronet are crisp all the way out to the tip. Nice coin with clean fields and good eye appeal; Dahlonega is not known for good crisp strikes like this one.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would recommend NGC with instructions to send it to their brother division NCS if necessary - that way there&#039;s no way you waste time, insurance, and postage (registered mail on this one). It will come back slabbed one way or the other.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think there&#039;s reason to be optimistic on this one, Mr. Gudinov ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
