AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 01/15/2014 11:20 pm Okay a few questions here... time to teach the noob in coins I suppose... but what are the indicators that it's a spec. strike... Also how can you explain the difference in colour all around the details on the reverse side... Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 01/15/2014 11:54 pm Look at the rims compared to other GeoV 50Â¢ posted here, and the fullness of the strike. In hand the matte finish would be more apparent. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 01/16/2014 12:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 09:00 am Sorry to have posted this one late....but I don't feel that this one is a "curve ball".. ....come on SPP...I just asked for an ICCS grade.....are there rules to this that say .."NO PL's or SP's allowed here" The pros have spoken and they have better eyes than I do.. and that's why I posted it ...but just a bit late... Nice to see that no one cheated because this one has been posted before. It's SP 66...There is no coating on it or the others in the set,..but that center does look like something has touched it a long time ago... . . .

artdio Pillar of the Community 1844 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 11:42 am 1914 next.... The rev scratch is more of a hairline .The angle and large pic make it look worse... ICCS had it at EF ...The color is also not quite as dark as what it appears...The 3 rd pic is a more accurate color ..To bad the luster doesn't show well.. Report this Post to the Staff
doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 12:05 pm artdio.....did all of these halves you've posted come from the same source? I don't want to sound sarcastic but if that reverse scratch is just a 'hairline' then I'm the Queen of England. Report this Post to the Staff
artdio Pillar of the Community 1844 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 1:35 pm Double,.. first off no they come from many different sources...And the hairline remark , was more of a way to say it is no way as bad as what the pics show...If your looking straight on it is much less noticable....The pic was taken on a slight angle...

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 1:40 pm A great coin ... ..and great photos ...so much easier when the 2 plastic sheets are removed from the pic. Report this Post to the Staff

doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 1:52 pm artdio... I understand what you're saying about pictures sometimes showing diiferent things depending on different camera angles. Needless to say, in all my 40 years of coin experience, I have never called what your coin exhibits on the reverse as a 'hairline'. Rather a 'scratch' would be in order or if you want to stretch the truth a little, then a 'very light scratch' would possibly be acceptable. We mustn't fall into the trap of overgrading our own merchandise. Edited by doubleeagle59 01/16/2014 2:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
artdio Pillar of the Community 1844 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 2:22 pm @ double... maybe a light scratch would have been more appropriate, but in the end it wont change the value ...As for over grading our own stuff sorry ICCS put that grade and I agree.. In hand it is nicer.... @ Laureat... still a great hole filler Report this Post to the Staff
Nathancrh1 Pillar of the Community Canada 785 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 3:25 pm @DEVLEC... Really nice 1911 half. Never would have guessed sp-66, the toning makes it impossible to grade. Regardless of whether I can grade or not still a very spectacular specimen. Edited by Nathancrh1 01/16/2014 3:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
