VF details, cleaned. Not worth sending to a TPG.

My thoughts on sending this into a TPG are not necessarily for the grade. This is an 1846 horizontal 6 and thinking of sending in for it's rarity value.

I didn't notice that at first.

I would send it to a TPG, considering the value.

Anybody think that some of the details might be re-engraved on this one, liberty's hair perhaps? Something extra going on in the fields other than harsh cleaning, maybe jewelry mount removal or tooling?

Just some suspicions ......

Agree - how about the middle of the word Liberty itself? VF details.

I did purchase this coin as I needed it for my collection. I have been trying for this variety for a long time and they are hard to come by.

I buy coins that are imperfect if the price is right. If you like it, that is what matters.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

This one really surprised me as I was in with everyone else, it graded VF30! I cannot believe that it straight graded and not really sure what is going on at PCGS. I bought it from a very reputable company and they even said that it was a VF details coin.

I don't like it as genuine....too many signs that it's a fake.

Smalldawg, again, this is NOT a fake. I think you need to study or do some more research on the Seated Liberty series to understand real from fake. This coin was graded by PCGS!

I think this coin is definitely real. It has absolutely no characteristics of being a counterfeit.
