Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 3:14 pm Looking at the old thread(especially the pictures on page 2) I can see why they gave it a details grade, however I cannot understand why they knocked it down to AU-50. Even in the worst possible light it should be mid-AU detail, at least in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 3:38 pm Probably the tooling and whizzing are the same thing. If it's been whizzed it was done very lightly. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 5:31 pm Makes me want my coins tooled from here on in. I'll buy the Details slab but they were way too unkind with the description and the grade is straight-up "he hate me" territory. Report this Post to the Staff
shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 5:40 pm The more I look at these coins....and the more opinions I get on my submission....the more I agree....ANACS hates me ha. fortunately the ones that have been put in details slabs I planned on keeping anyway....but when they detailed a coin....they really nailed me.

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7734 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 5:43 pm I missed this one big time! I missed the whizzing and the tooling but I don't recall seeing the other pics on the other thread. I figured it was cleaned .... as most of the Reeded Edge Bust Halves out in coin land have been.... but figured since it was not obnoxious they'd overlook it. Boy, was I wrong! ANACS has really been tough lately. Ouch! Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21794 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 10:12 pm I never thought about the fields being whizzed, but on a closer inspection, I will have to concede that it is a possibility. In the first picture of the bust have a look in the field around in front of the middle star, behind the bust. I wasn't worried about the lack of lustre. In a coin of this age, the lustre is often completely masked by patination. I would jump at buying this coin in the slab as marked! If I was lucky enough to get it, the first thing I would do, is break it out. Edited by sel_69l 03/15/2015 11:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
buddy16cat Pillar of the Community United States 1536 Posts	Posted 03/16/2015 05:16 am Didn't attempt the grade but noticed the systematic looking scratches throughout the coin, thinking it was cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
