    image.jpg I may have answered my own quest after looking at this 1828 With a grade of " improperly Cleaned"


    QUOTE="Hugh Stiel, post: 2772617, member: 60048"]Once again I've been curious about the grade of this 1826 50c PAU55 . Im not to experienced View attachment 639745 View attachment 639748 View attachment 639749 View attachment 639754 with this but think if it were a Morgan it would be in the 61 range. Can you give me your opinion if grading is correct. Im not much on regrading until maybe when I'm ready to sell.
    Wondering minds are just curious. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]

    And a few holes filled in my Dime type set too, though nothing special, just AU-ish examples. Check out the clashing on the reverse of that Seated! DSC_0281-horz.jpg DSC_0299-horz.jpg DSC_0316-horz.jpg

    I took a chance on a sealed 1964 manila proof set for $19. This is coin #1.

    Last one. I think something from my album got on the reverse on the Lincoln. I think I will acetone it just to be safe.

    "Penny-farthing Pedal Pusher": pictorial love token on 1876 Seated Liberty dime

    [​IMG]

    Larger obverse picture
    Larger reverse picture

    Host coin: 1876 USA Seated Liberty dime.
    Obverse: original Seated Liberty design, unaltered.
    Reverse: Victorian "penny-farthing" (high wheel) bicycle in landscape with foliage and cattail plant in foreground, bird in sky.

    Ex- "whitewolfcoins", eBay, 06/21/2017.

    This is a wonderful high-Victorian love token charm, anonymous since it was carved without any engraved initials, simply for the sake of art alone. It likely served as a charm on a lady's bracelet or gentleman's watch fob. The engraving is excellent and the whimsical subject matter evokes the era perfectly. Furthermore, the engraving is likely closely contemporary to the host coin, since the penny-farthing, high-wheel bicycle went out of fashion in the 1880s with the development of the safety bicycle, which more closely resembles the kind we are familiar with today.

    I think the coin is correctly graded. There's a little wear on the high points, mixed with a weak strike (?) It has enough remaining luster and appears to be closer to AU58 than 53 considering today's grading standards. Could be a great CAC candidate, but it seems it was lightly cleaned.

    Super common GSA date but not so common nice color (the blue pops more in hand). Traded in a low eye appeal 84cc GSA + $100 for this upgrade. Happy with that for sure.
