I guess she could be artificially circulated....but it would surprise me somewhat, as it is a key date in the $3 gold series. Why would someone do that to a coin that would be so much more valuable in better condition? I guess if they were trying to conceal a major flaw it might make some sense.

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 06/24/2008 12:58 pm Thanks. I think this King is nice looking. It seems to have a weak or absent "v". Grease Filled Die? Report this Post to the Staff

Why would someone do that to a coin that would be so much more valuable in better condition? I guess if they were trying to conceal a major flaw it might make some sense. It could have been the pocket piece of a Civil War officer(enlisted/drafted soldiers probably couldn't afford to carry around $3 just for the heck of it) that was carried into battle repeatedly, just think of the potential history In that time period or even for a few decades afterwards, that coin would not have been seen as a rarity. The Civil War scenario may just be wishful imagination but more than likely for it to obtain that state of wear, it had to be the pocket piece of someone with a relatively high financial standing.

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 06/24/2008 2:01 pm Interesting. That would make sense. Would being used as a "pocket piece" constitute natural, or artificial circulation? Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 06/27/2008 4:10 pm BTW, you guys don't know how much I appreciate all of your inputs. I'm going to list a few Lincolns and I want to know which ones you would say has the most eye appeal(not taking grade or slab into consideration). 1)This one I really like. It has some unique woodgrain effects that I find appealing; but I dont know if they would hurt or help the market appeal. http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-S-VDB-1-C-...35_W0QQitemZ 300232937959QQihZ020QQcategoryZ39456QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247 2) This one is nice too. http://cgi.ebay.com/C-USA-1909-S-VD...BN_W0QQitemZ 250263961959QQihZ015QQcategoryZ11944QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem 3) I like the color of this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-s-vdb-Linc...10_W0QQitemZ 250263780062QQihZ015QQcategoryZ39456QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem 4) This one looks cool as well. Nice eye appeal imo http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-S-VDB-Linc...le_W0QQitemZ 250261359145QQihZ015QQcategoryZ39456QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem 5) interesting woodgrain effects on this one too. http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-S-VDB-LINC...le_W0QQitemZ 250262445936QQihZ015QQcategoryZ39456QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem These are all ones I would consider purchasing at the right price. Wide range of grades, but eye appeal is more important to me. Edited by johnny54321 06/27/2008 4:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/03/2008 01:27 am Maybe you are right speedy, and I was a cats hair away from keeping the coin. If I had more time before I had to send it back, I may have decided to keep it. If I come across this again, I'll give them a call. Here is a nice dark pcgs vdb.

1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 07/03/2008 03:33 am How about a nice 1877 IHC ? Or a 09-S VDB in VF and the 1914-D. Report this Post to the Staff

Opinions? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...id=p3907.m29 My opinion is that they need to learn how to take a proper digital photo if they are going to be selling $1000+ coins I would not even consider unless they can come up with some well lit detailed photos.

I might go for it if the price does'nt rise. The boys at C-USA are top notch and are great to work with. Run by an ex-grader, the coins are usually nice for the grade. BTW, I know you said the plastic doesn't matter, but it sure doesn't hurt to have it in the right kind. All my keys have been in pcgs plastic, and they did extremely well for me.
