No argue here.

By the way, the current asking price? $1520

That's one of those coins that once you buy it that sick feeling starts growing in your stomach and you just wanna go throw-up.

Better take a long hard look before buying it cause the buyer is gonna be friends with it a long time!

Thanks for posting!

1875-S-20c-You-Vs-PCGS

The coin is OK.
I'd be happy to own it.
The issue here is the poor image which makes it look terrible.
Is it a scan ?
The coin is obviously MS.

Watch your top knot

Had a feeling it would go MS. Wouldn't be my 1st..... or 2nd, or 3rd....... choice, but to each their own. Might fit well in someone's " Crusty Originals" album. Thanks for posting a not-so-straight-forward, stir up the pot example.

Why they didn't use the trueview I don't know...looks far less dead than the sellers photos.

GC doesn't use outside photos for legal reasons I believe. But yeah the trueviews look better, still bad, but better

I thought PCGS was supposed to give penalties for low eye appeal.

Doesn't look half bad from the Stack's photos. Didn't even notice the extent of the reverse die cracks/clashing in the first set of pics.

The 2nd enlarged set of photos...the "fuzzy" patches on the eagle are obviously not part of the coin. What IS that?

I assumed they were scuffs/scrapes on the slab itself.
