It was being sold as Brilliant Uncirculated: Obverse: Image: 1904 $10 Gold Liberty Eagle Obverse.jpg 45.46 KB Reverse: Image: 1904 $10 Gold Liberty Eagle Reverse.jpg 52.9 KB Report this Post to the Staff

stratocaster Valued Member United Kingdom 240 Posts	Posted 06/03/2007 4:42 pm It doesn't look to me as in brilliant uncirculated condition. There is no mint patina and on the reverse the rim is chipped at 11 o'clock. There are many small scratches (bagmarks), but it is still a ms-unc in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 06/03/2007 9:29 pm Can't tell if it's BRILLIANT unc either. But it does look unc with a bit of uneven strike. Report this Post to the Staff
Guido Valued Member United States 390 Posts	Posted 06/03/2007 11:49 pm Strato, Do you have any examples of Brilliant UNC verses not Brilliant that you could post so I can compare them? I would like to learn how to tell the difference. Also, does anyone think it would grade as MS 63? Edited by Guido 06/04/2007 12:53 am Report this Post to the Staff
ageka Pillar of the Community Belgium 2078 Posts	Posted 06/04/2007 05:38 am The coin does not look cleaned nor circulated In fact it looks pasty on the background and looks like pencildrawn or a photo from the copy of a book at extreme mangification There are three small spots on the obverse at 11-12-13 hours If the photo was not manipulated and is of the real coin it would make MS63 but with all my observations I would not buy it without a normal scan or normal photo The fact that going to extremes on the blue scale virtually changes nothing on the coin has been a warning in the past which I have allways heeded as a coin that needs other pics or an in hand evaluation Report this Post to the Staff
ageka Pillar of the Community Belgium 2078 Posts	Posted 06/04/2007 05:40 am I try to post my own reference coin and your pic Edited by ageka 06/04/2007 05:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
Guido Valued Member United States 390 Posts	Posted 06/05/2007 5:12 pm I see what you're saying, Ageka. It looks almost to pretty, eh? Those three small spots show up in every color range too. Interesting. The coin sold for $430, so if it does grade as a 63, someone got a great deal. I've dealt with this seller before and he isn't really helpful with additonal photos. Right now, he only is selling graded coins, where in the past he only sold raw coins. Report this Post to the Staff
ageka Pillar of the Community Belgium 2078 Posts	Posted 06/06/2007 07:25 am If it only goes MS62 he paid 30% too much If it goes MS63 he got a nice deal I would not have played the oddss because techically the spots damage eye appeal slabbed or unslabbed http://www.gold4ex.be/servlet/javap...or_new&lg=nl Report this Post to the Staff
