Hey guys tell me what you think

As you know I always ask first because it’s not a cheap purchase. It graded damaged 98 AU but I don’t know what the damage could be. I don’t see anything wrong but then again there must be something.

Is that scratch going through the left wing, to the left of the "R" in "Pluribus", on the slab, coin, or a die crack? Also what about the one on the opposite side of the eagle, on the other wing in the same place. I don't see any big damage on it, not sure why it graded as damaged, maybe crack it out and resend it in? Beautiful coin!

 

My Guess would be environmental.

 

That's a details coin I would buy

 

Thank you coinman I’m trying to get it now. I swear THIS really is gonna be my last coin! Hehe

Well I just bid up to $2200 and still didn’t get highest bid. My heart is still beating. What a rush. How much is it worth?

I wouldn't expect a big discount from problem free AU price on that one.

 

You bid $2200 on a coin that you don't have any idea about its value?

Who said I didn’t have ANY idea? I look at these coins everyday. I knew it was worth at least $2200 because I bid that. Now I will admit I don’t know if it’s still worth $3500 to $5000 even with the “damage” grade. So I ask? You get what I’m saying cpm9ball?

That's code 97 .....

 

I would think it's been whizzed ...

 

Bunch of pock marks in Liberty's neck and chest. Someone decorated it....

 

Last coin, lol. The corrosion on the breast is the damage they're talking about. This one's going to sell for a so-to-speak "pretty penny." Just look at the depth still left on her. I can get why you're chasing her. They have to notice those pot marks, though, somehow. No collector in their right mind is going to be turned off by the details grade. Just my humble opinion.

 

What was the final sale price? I'd value it at about $4500-5000.

 

Corrosion is code 97 ...
So it can't be that ...

 

It looks like corrosion to me but whatever the hell it is, that's the damage they mean.

 

Code 98 stands for " any metal movement " .

The following codes summarize the various problems that preclude a numerical grade by PCGS:

82 Filed Rims Rim(s) and/or edge is filed.
91 Questionable Color Any artificial re-toning – dipped copper.
92 Cleaning Harsh cleaning or polishing.
93 Planchet Flaw Generally large – prominent flaw(s).
94 Altered Surfaces Any applied substance (wax, putty, lacquer).
95 Scratch(s) Large – prominent scratch(s).
97 Environmental Damage Corrosion, excessive toning, verdigris.
98 Damage Any metal movement.

 

Some of the marks on the reverse appear to be raised. Rusted dies maybe, but that wouldn't explain the details grade.
