<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WillGK, post: 7295497, member: 115517&quot;]I promised to follow-up on this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, PCGS didn’t do restoration, must have figured that the spot wasn’t putty and was a cleaning.&nbsp; They just charged me a $10 evaluation fee and passed it on to Grading.&nbsp; Grading gave it a “Genuine Unc Cleaned Details” grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276500[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The grading gods have spoken, it is what it is, a details coin, sigh...&nbsp; I plan to sell it, and I have little idea how to price it.&nbsp; One thing, it looks like PCGS has graded no more than 75 MS 1875-CC Seated Liberty Halves, which makes it a truly scarce coin, and that helps.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I lack experience with details coins, and I can’t figure out how to technically grade Seated Liberties. So, the only thing I can think to do is to compare the general look of my coin to the PCGS Photograde coins, and try to guess what number PCGS might put on a straight graded coin like this.&nbsp; I have comparison pictures, MS60 through MS64, along side my coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276506[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276508[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1276509[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1276510[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1276511[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>What I like about my coin is the way that Ms Liberty stands out from the background and draws the eye. But it lacks the luster to be a 64.&nbsp; So, it at best could be 63.&nbsp; Maybe 62?</p><p><br /></p><p>How many numbers do I need to drop the price?&nbsp; Beats me.&nbsp; Is MS60 too optimistic?&nbsp; I’d far sooner live with the appearance of my coin that that MS60 in Photograde, but I realize that the market doesn’t exactly work that way.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What do the voices of experience say?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
