So they called it a problem coin? I'm confused.

No...I'm confusing you....It was slabbed as a problem free coin.
Sorry....Just got up from a little snooze...and must not have had my brain fully engaged.

AU-55, it MIGHT have a chance at AU-58 and maybe a .001% chance of MS-60

NICE! I would go with an AU-58 for this. Great detail with just some unfortunate chattermarks on it. Still, a real beauty!  |

Well, I'm one step closer to completing my seated set.

Wow, that coin has virtually NO wear on it. There appears to have been a very careful cleaning done at some point, evidenced by the squared-off toning around the stars. I think that the baggies and that would hold it to about AU55 (and I bet it would slab, if that matters to you) but it looks like a stellar example for a Seated Type set. Congrats!

TD, as in slabbing you mean a problem-free holder? I figured that with coins like this that it's pretty much a given they have been cleaned sometime in the past. Would the TPG's be more lenient since the cleaning is not that noticeable? I guess I could leave it on a windowsill to tone but beware...... I'll be waiting by the windowsill with an axe until the coin tones to my liking.  Edited by coins92

The 2010 RedBook lists this coin as $800 at AU50 and $2750 at MS60. (A HUGE jump in price!) |

I'd go AU 55, tops..it has a lot of circulation dings on it...there is such a thing as AU 53. Inflated PCGS price list lists XF40 at $620 and AU55 at $1250. I think you got it for a pretty good price...cleaned or not. There are the same coins on ebay, - certified NCS AU, cleaned improperly BIN $875 - XF for BIN $625 - "Strong XF look" BIN $490 - AU ++ BIN $1800 So, all that said...if you won it bidding at auction, you're a winner. If you bought it now, you got the best relative bang for your buck. |

The first set of photos really exaggerate the dings and scuffs. I did buy it at auction; Easter morning while the majority of people were at church, and away from their computer. I think AU-53 is too low because there is very little- if no wear that I can see( I don't have the coin yet). Due to cleaning, I think that a grade of AU-55 at the lowest with a shot at AU-58 is possible. He'll probably be going in for grading with my 1839 Half Dime and a few others. |
