just wondering on why you settled for this one, they have many for sale already graded, was the price to good to be true. so too speak.. Well, I'm poor! I capped my purchase to money already spent, the reimbursement I received for the XX for XX coins, and I'll say that Thomas gave me a pretty fair deal on this, left me with a couple hundred in change Quote:

Congratulations on your purchase LucV  . Cashing in XforX NCLT with an eye for circulation coin was a wise choice in my opinion. The toned background/shading especially on the obverse side of this one is very attractive. Seems like you got a good deal even if it grades at what you bought it for, and indeed lower cost '48s are hard to find because most were never circulated. Let us know how it fairs upon return from ICCS. |

The only bad thing about this coin would be if it came back graded cleaned

Congrats on the great find! I'd say AU details though.

I couldn't afford to put out the cash for one so why not use money already spent. I'll update the grade in a couple months when it comes back from ICCS |

Just in from ICCS   Since the general consensus was that the 48 was previously cleaned and I didn't think it was very pretty, I decided to take a chance - Gave it a 3 minute dip in Leuchtturm a quick rinse and then 2 cycles through the ultrasonic jewelry cleaner Paid off - the grade per ICCS  I'm happy since I bought it as an EF |

I think I have an untrained eye. I honestly couldn't tell if the coin was cleaned!
