coinut Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 07/27/2011 9:05 pm I ONLY went to the local silver shop to unload some spare silver Washingtons, SLH and Franklins, but, I had to wait so I was looking through their overflow bin. and don't you know I ended up with 2 coins, one type I don't own. I got a 1861 Half Dime Id say grades good and a 1956 Washington proof. One question, it is from a TPG I have not heard of, IGS(International Grading Service) which gave it a PF69. To my eye it looks close, what do yall think? I got the Washing for BV and the Half Dime for $8. Report this Post to the Staff

coinut Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 2:41 pm Thanks every one! I used my USB microscope on both and although I could not see any hairlines but I did see some raised bumos or pimple like things upon magnification that is not visible to the naked eye or through a loop. Still I think a got a decent deal,but I think the dealer got a better one considering they only paid like $ 28 x FV for my coins and if I wanted to go through the hassle I could have sold them for a few $ more than BV on e-bay.
