Hey guys. Thank all of you for your input- specially you Coop- I know you get a lot of post from collectors that think they just found the next 55 double die. Here is what I have decided to do-I am not a US collector- so- I am going to spend the $80 or so to find out about the patina and the variety. Then respond back in couple of months when I find out what PCGS has to say.

If you're not familiar with submitting, make sure to notate the variety and notate you want the variety attribution on the submission. It's a service you have to pay for and some are not aware of this and assume PCGS will just do this for them.
If you're aware, then disregard.
Keep us posted.

Not worth grading in my honest opinion.  Edited by Coinfrog

Hi yall. I have just sent a request to Mr. Snows people at Eagle Eye, to see if for a fee, we can find out about the variety and the patina. And, I am not a guy to care about cost to settle a question- Coinfrog. LOL. Here is the type of coin I like. Mint state coin minted at Roman London in the year 323AD. Mint mark PLON in ex. Patinated original silvering. The Romans minted silvered "coins" that were actually used as markers for "denarii communes" representing gold and silver held in government banks. LOL! Sound familiar?  |

LOL! Please review the original post. I was just looking for basic information on a type of coin I do not collect. Now it looks like I need to prove something! So- let's just prove it or not. No hard feelings anywhere. I'm paying. LOL! Will let you know-

No need to prove yourself, no one's challenging you, just sharing our thoughts. Your original post. Quote: . I am fairly positive that I have I'd it as a 1909 DDO FS-101 Snow 1. My questions are is this worth sending to PCGS since they acknowledge this type and then keeping it, does the patina looked jacked with (not worth PCGS if so), what does the grade look like, or just sell it on ebay and let someone else play with it? Again, based on the images, I can't say for certain about the variety. But based on what recent sales I've seen in AU (IF it straight graded) the cost of grading and attribution would not be worth it, IMO. Color and surfaces also look questionable, to me. These are my answers to the questions you asked I'm am curious as to what a TPG has to say, so if it's on your dime, I won't argue it! |

Hi guys. Sorry to have seemed combative. Been a bit assertive for a long time now. LOL. I am sending it to Eagle Eye tomorrow to find out everything and will let you know- be a couple of weeks. My take- DDO, Cleaned, and AU. later- |

Hi guys. I haven't got the coin back yet, but I just talked to Rick at Eagle Eye and he said it is on the way back. It is definitely a DDO S-1. His grade MS 60 and not cleaned. Later and thank you all for the input. |
