<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Feigenbaum, post: 2345438, member: 76831&quot;]#10, #11 &amp; #16 are accurately no-grades. I think more precise to call them &quot;cleaned and retoned&quot; but that&#039;s what they are. It&#039;s a shame but they are professionally done. You might want to (re)consider the source on those. Someone knows what they are doing. #16 (1864-S half) is more expertly colored IMO. Usually if I see flat-dark color surfaces on a circ coin like that it&#039;s been expertly retoned from some sort of cleaned base surface. A truly original typically coin won&#039;t be that evenly colored. In earlier grading days, the rim bruises alone would prevent a grade on the holder, but I&#039;ve seen more flexibility there in recent years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
