The crackout/resubmits are real: Compare these 2 PCGS graded coins on Trueview...

Are these two coins the same exact ones??? Is there a difference I'm missing?
Both coins are MS61 1858-S Liberty $20

PCGS Number 45944689 and compare that with PCGS Number 46519247

They are the same coin.

 

I would think that the "Fairmont Collection" would command a slight premium? I guess the prior owner didn't want that label or he was rolling the dice and hoping for an upgrade. I guess this would be a true "MS61" then.

FYI, my LCS is offering it for $7500...so I was doing research on it and checking out auction results and I came across the prior photo. It appears it's being offered for the same price that it was bought for at auction

 

That coin does not look like a very strong 61, keep in mind that the price difference between AU and UNC is quite large. I personally would wait until a nicer example shows up.

Here is another MS61, this one has less contact marks:

Surprisingly it went for less. There's definitely a softening in the market, it appears.
Would PCGS be able to conserve the coin and remove the dirt in the date?

 

Welcome to CT.

 

Thank you! I'm getting back into collecting and I am attempting to finish my Type 1 Liberty Double Eagle set within the next 5 years! (one for each year in Type 1, that is. I don't have enough $$ to do each mint within the year!)

 

Something most of us suffer from......welcome.
