MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 6:19 pm Man I was way too conservative in my grading of this piece. Panzaldi was spot on. I think one would be hard pressed to find a 200+ year old gold coin that HASN'T been cleaned at some point. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

Unless the potential buyer thinks that PCGS was too forgiving and overlooked a cleaning/dipping. I grow less and less trusting of ALL TPG grading. Notwithstanding, the coin looks very nice.

david29 Valued Member United States 432 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 8:20 pm Beautiful $10 gold Jaobler. Even with the mentioned cleaning it still looks great. I would buy it in a heartbeat in that holder. if the funds were available at that time. Good Job Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15570 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 8:43 pm Beautiful coin ... tremendous score to get it in a PCGS problem-free holder. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 10:05 pm I agree with the grade and am not surprised it was from NGC Details to PCGS Problem-free. It happens all the time and this piece does not appear harshly cleaned. As others noted, it is a very attractive coin either way. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 02/10/2015 2:41 pm Very nice little upgrade on this one. I looked at quite a few on HA.com and think it's better looking than many of the low end MS graded coins, as you say jaobler, AU53 is probably a net from the AU55 detail this coin shows for the cleaning. In fact most of the MS60-63 grade coins I looked at were full of very ugly hairlines. This coin beats 75% of the ones I saw in the overall looks department.

Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 02/10/2015 3:29 pm Quote: This is exactly why grading is subjective. This coin is nice and its very expensive and high end and I dont have anything against OP but honestly NGC had this one correct. Ive heard in the past TPG services are more lenient with older gold coins. So we come to the conclusion of buy the coin not the holder. I wouldnt buy this one. This coin was for sure overdipped/cleaned. By the comments I'm seeing on this thread and the grading results, it appears that the OP was completely vindicated in his assumption that the coin could be put into a more valuable holder. People will buy the holder. The coin looks like a beautiful, bright, canary, yellow gold. This indicates that it has been almost definitely messed with. NGC thought it was improperly dipped and PCGS gave it a pass. At some point the coin will be passed onto someone who either doesn't care that the coin has no originality left and has been possibly over-dipped or someone who simply is buying the holder.
