Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 53429 Posts	Posted 10/24/2020 8:13 pm Thank you. I'll say MS-64. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 17863 Posts	Posted 10/24/2020 10:53 pm Exposed fields are marked up, not very surprising with the BLP designs on the Half and Quarter Eagles without raised rims. For the same reason, these coins can loose their radial mint luster rather quickly. Nevertheless, I am a really an avid fan of the BLP designs, because they are so different and innovative, and yet still highly successful as an artwork. Would have been nice if Mint had produced a $10 BLP gold coin - it would have suited the larger planchet size. A tiny amount of wear on the ties to the head dress. AU-55.

smat45 Valued Member United States 452 Posts	Posted 10/25/2020 08:32 am A couple of distracting marks under the chin and between stars 7 and 8...noticeable ding in front of eagles right wing. Very good color and rims! MS62-63 smat Report this Post to the Staff

twslisa Pillar of the Community United States 626 Posts	Posted 10/26/2020 12:47 am OK, I give up! How do you guys know it's been cleaned? (Now, I have one that looks like someone took a Brillo pad to it, but that's another story.) Report this Post to the Staff
twslisa Pillar of the Community United States 626 Posts	Posted 10/26/2020 12:48 am Hey, MrBreeze, what are you using to get these excellent photos? Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 5746 Posts	Posted 10/26/2020 01:47 am Looks lightly cleaned or polished to me. The absence of any mint frost is one of the giveaways to my old eyes. I would say it's "unc details - cleaned" in the slab world. Report this Post to the Staff
MrBreeze Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 10/26/2020 05:37 am @twslisa - I used my IPhone camera. I did have an LED light that I used to get more light on the coin and reduce the shadows. Report this Post to the Staff

Morgan Nerd Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 10/27/2020 9:40 pm I see a very, very small amount of wear on the highest points. AU-58 cleaned, unfortunately. Could easily pass as MS-63 without close examination. Whoever cleaned it did a good job. Sure, they ruined the coin but it's still deceptively good fake mint luster. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 53429 Posts	Posted 10/27/2020 9:46 pm It's been more than 48 hours - time for the results. Report this Post to the Staff
MrBreeze Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 10/27/2020 10:02 pm @coinfrog - results? Not sure I know how to answer. Sorry for the newbieness coming out. I am thinking about sending the coin in for TPG. I will definitely post the results here if I do. This was my first time buying a gold coin and was curious if I did ok on my purchase. I have learned a ton from all the comments. Definitely pointed out things that I hadn't seen. Report this Post to the Staff
tpg22 Pillar of the Community United States 918 Posts	Posted 11/07/2020 7:48 pm I am also in the AU camp. The second set of photos really does make it appear polised/cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
