The Details Discount Thread

Well, might as well call it.

It isn't graded, but it would definitely details grade, as it is harshly cleaned.

I would not have bought this if I was paying attention. I thought it was an 1875 (P), not a San Francisco. I'm just glad and lucky the under bidder dropped when he did!

I paid $236 including fees. I thought I had stolen it, until I went back and saw the S MM.

And the winner is:

@ddddd you're up!

This one sold in August 2015...I did not bid (is that a hint? )...price? details or not? reason? grade?

 

After much thought, here's what I think:

$650
MS62
Straight grade

I think the toning is natural, and there may have been a cleaning/dip a long, long long time ago, but it looks right to me.

 

$450
AU
Straight grade.

 

I'll call it here since this is pretty much correct...final price was $662.20
I personally thought this coin looked like a below average XF, but the details must have been strong enough to warrant an UNC grade. I definitely was not a fan and would have preferred a nice AU over this one.

It's the hair at George's ear - it's all there, so I was pretty sure a low to mid MS.

 

It'll take me a while to find something to post. If anyone has something ready to go, feel free.

 

Well...... Dunno if anyone is still playing, but...

Sent this in to ANACS, and the results just came back. 2 different images for different types of lighting.

Price paid
Grade
Straight or details, and why?

 

Anacs?

I think there is wear above the ear and on the breast on the Eagle, but I don't see an obvious cleaning...I will say straight graded, AU (55), $65

 

These trip me up. Is it wear, or weak strike?
I'll say MS, straight grade, and $78 seems a fair price.

 

I'll let this one go a little longer. We need more players!

Au details, cleaned. $55

 

I am also at AU details cleaned.
$48

 

AU 50 $85. straight gr

 

AU58 straight, $95 due to eye appeal.

 

I paid $106 (incl BP)
ANACS graded this AU-53
DETAILS - CLEANED

It was more then I really wanted to pay, but I liked it, and was sure it was going to grade AU58 straight. Possibly the only saving grace is that it's a VAM-1a, which is an R6, so I may be ok if I go to sell it.

@KSorbo gets the win, and the next post!

 

How do we judge the winner now? Closest to price, or who guessed the grade best, or what?
