  Bought this a while ago, and I only just got around to taking some pictures. I have also posted it in the grading section. |

Back in July, I posted these raw pick-ups that I acquired. A few of us guessed the grades. For the curious, here they are.........   ICCS....1917 10c ms64, 1902-H 10c ms64, 1918 25c ms64. |

 LOL, before I sent this off to I.C.C.S. , I swore it would come back an MS-62/63. Perhaps a touch of drawer rub at high points has caused enough wear to make it a circulated coin. However, the coin is Unc. and would grade an MS-63 at P.C.G.S. Time for an upgrade to an MS-63 next week! (Thanks Marbury) Glenn  |

Nice coin glenn!
I bet you dollars to doughnuts that your coin has some very faint wispy hairlines only visible under strong light and at one particular viewing angle only.
These hairlines don't have to be over the entire surface of the coin. Perhaps just in one area or two.
I say this because many times I've had an Unc coin grade au55 or au58 due to this fact.

2xEagle, yes that's right. There are always those fine micro abrasions on a coin that can't be seen by scans or the naked eye that are created from drawer rub or a short stint in circulation! Silver wears sooo fast due to it's softness that any coin in an AU-58, may have been used to purchase one or two items 100+ years ago.....................LOL Glenn  |

doubleeagle - Tough break with the 1918. I was the underbidder, and would've bid that up more, but I forgot when it was ending.

jg86....starting all my auctions at $10 I'm always mentally prepared for such a beating.
It all evens out at the end of the year....that's the way I look at it.
Actually, I checked my notes and I paid $65 for it in the US as it was a 'raw' purchase.

Well at least you came out ahead. I think I paid around $100 each for my 1918 and 1936 quarters, since they were raw as well, and both are now in MS64 holders.
