<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnny54321, post: 764533, member: 13342&quot;]<font face="Arial">NGC gave it a VF details(improperly cleaned) and it sold to me for $660.00.</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial">So taking into consideration that the coin is probably hairlined or heavily dipped underneath the toning, I still think it is undergraded at VF details, especially since most Dahlonega coins are weakly struck. NGC is much stricter, but maybe there is more wear on the obverse than what can be seen in the photos because it&#039;s blurry. Even still, Dahlonega&#039;s commonly have weak details for the grade, and there are a TON of cleaned ones in problem free slabs from what I&#039;ve seen/read. So my hope is that NGC suddenly got much stricter on both detail and problem status with this coin, now that they slab problem coins.</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial">But even if the coin looks nowhere near as good in hand as it does in these pics, $660 seems like a good price for a cleaned certified VF $5 gold dahlonega to me at only 2.5x melt.<img src="http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/images/icon_smile_cool.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> I&#039;m quite surprised the seller sold it to me for that price in a second chance offer<img src="http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/images/icon_smile_headscratch.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />. I will know a lot more when I receive the coin(fingers crossed). Here is the listing.</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u><span style="color: #22229c"><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=370307182776&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=370307182776&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=370307182776&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT</a></span></u><a href="http://www.coincommunity.com/go/_to.asp?target=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=370307182776&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coincommunity.com/go/_to.asp?target=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=370307182776&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT" rel="nofollow"></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
