I couldn't believe it when I saw it either. even if its hiding something I still think it would of been a lot more valuable before doing this than after. As it sits now if the seller were to show up at my door with it and offered it for $20 I would laugh and offer them $5 for the novelty value.

Quote: Scarce date 1897-O Barber dime with Selectively 24K Gold and Silver Plating. It's a shame about this coin, but I gotta ask. Who in any frame of mind would Silver Plate a silver coin?  |

Possibly so. I'm just thinking if you are going to go all that effort to ruin a nice coin just buff it.

The more I look at the more I begin to wonder if that's really a gold plating, it looks like someone tried to color it with a marker almost, and they missed the design and ran over the design in places.
I am going to contact him and see what he knows about it. I just wont mention that while I am "fairly interested" in the coin that interest does not include an interest in buying it.

They have a solution where you can brush it on in strokes with like a paint brush and some electrical gizmo. Just looks like they didn't take the time to stay between the lines. I kinda hope your right and it is just marker. Wow. Of all the Barbers to do that to, why one of the rarest? Edited by Waxemm

Anybody want to grade this fine object: ebay.com/itm/151254400493 ? I did tell him it was probably the worst photo in ebay. There s more detail in the face on Mars. Still barely enough to tell him it was in the wrong category!! -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |
