One word for y'all...
SCAN.
Scans make pretty much any coin look like crap.

A very ugly coin that will tend to bring a high price simply due to the number on the label.

"gotthecoin" does not "gotabuyer" in me.
Even the Mickey Mantle card is a copy.
That quarter: should be dipped to put it out of its misery.

Alan Hagar, the seller, doesn't usually take good photographs. I think you need to at least consider that the coin has iridescent toning and could be better looking in person. CAC doesn't willy nilly give away stickers- although they can always let a bad coin or two sneak by.

How much of the toning occurred since the time the coin was slabbed? It may have been much nicer.

It's a scan alright. You can tell by the light direction. I doubt the coin looks like it's nicotine stained in hand.

The front isn't that bad. But the back is just ugly.

Aren't fingerprints supposed to be grade limiting marks?

I humbly take a pass despite the lofty certified technical grade ... IMHO this coin is ugly.

I have seen a LOT of early mint set quarters with ugly toning AND fingerprints like those slabbed at those high grades by the TPG's. I don't think the prints developed after slabbing. It is just a very high grade ugly coin. |

I'm not a fan of fingerprints on coins (as if there is a fan base). Some types of toning can be attractive, but I'm not feeling this one at all. MatthewVincent mentions dipping, would a dip remove a print? I ask because I have a common Peace dollar, BU, with a print that I bought a long time ago thinking acetone would remove it. That is when I found out about the permanence of fingerprints. |
