Yeah guys I have such a hard time getting decent photos with this phone , it's tough to get a photo to show what a coin looks like in hand or it is for me anyways :)
I just get a bit frustrated when you know a coin isn't something but can't get a photo that does justice and convinces otherwise :)

Fyi coinguy lack of hairlines does not mean the coin was never cleaned. Dipped coins will not. However if residual cleaning liquid was not removed properly over the years you will get odd toning similar to this and luster still may remain.

Anacs grade the coin ef40 , I own several AU barbers and a few ef45 so my reason for posting was I though the coin was undergraded ...
Both the coin dealers I'd showed it to also thought it was atleast ef45 if not AU ...
That's why I was a bit shocked that everyone started going on about it being EF details cleaned ...
Never the less I love the coin , I just really didn't expect anyone to think cleaned ...
One of the two dealers that viewed the coin in hand looked the coin over with his loupe and then offered me a AU price for the coin , said he'd like to have it in his collection ...
I though Forsure that this old guy that's been collecting 25 plus year would have mentioned it being cleaned and wouldn't have show the interest he did in it ...

Well as far as the dipping goes , and I know peoples opinions vary on that but from what I've read and understand TPG do not consider dipping as cleaning ... Unless over dipped to the point the luster is pretty much burnt off ... |

it may go 45 if there is some luster on the coin

Drew buddy I've seen a couple your videos and I've come to the opinion that you are the only person that owns problem free coin !
I feel like that was a sarcastic insult. Whatever man.  |

Well Drew is was a bit sarcastic and I was probably a bit out of line ...
It was just I'd recently watch a couple your youtube videos and it appear every coin you have were problem free in your mind and worth 50x what you paid , yet anytime I see you reply to a post on here you simply pick the persons coin to death , with a know it all type attitude ...
With this said I know your a younger guy and I've been really impressed with the effort you put into finding these coin , yardsales , coin stores and ect ...
Drew I don't mean any disrespect toward you at all , just from watching from a distance it would appear you try so hard to find any possible flaws in others coins yet only the best in those you purchase...
This may not be the way you intend for it to come across but for me that is kind of how I take it ....
I know you a good guy and I don't wNt you to have hard feeling , lol honestly I guess we both just say what's on our mind :)

I just tell the truth.
The coins I pick out aren't problem free necessarily all the time, but it would be great if you could give me an example of "and it appear every coin you have were problem free in your mind and worth 50x what you paid"

Well drew
Look your a young guy , I told you I was probably out of line a bit .
I said I admired your coin hunting efforts ...
The example your asking for !
You found a 1894 dime that look maybe F12 but I couldnt see a liberty!
The coin was obvious corroded or environmental damaged ...
You went on about how that was a 120 buck coin that you'd get atleast 50 from ...
Don't get me wrong if you can get 500 for it good for you , but similar things you mentioned and just by viewing some your post on here I get the impression that you are so optimistic about your purchases and some what pick anyone else's apart !
Now like I've said before drew this is only how I take it , it may not be your intentions to come off this way ....
I don't have any hard feeling toward you and I hope we can get along and agree to disagree sometimes :)
