syeb Valued Member United States 282 Posts	Posted 06/28/2016 9:21 pm Well I received the coin. Beautiful and the scratches mentioned can barely be seen in a 5X loupe. Definitely a keeper. It'a an O-105a, R4 rarity so that's a nice bonus. Sorry my pics are a bit blurry. Phone is acting up. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 06/28/2016 10:07 pm People telling you that a shiny, lustrous AU or MS Bust has been dipped might as well be telling you that the sky is blue. It's not an issue, it's just common sense. Yes, there are many original-surfaces coins out there, of course, and they command significantly higher premiums in many cases (except for some really crusty ones where the eye appeal is so low that the originality is made largely irrelevant.) I think your coin is quite attractive & you should enjoy it as is.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 06/28/2016 10:59 pm It looks fine to me as problem-free AU+ piece. I'd have no problem justifying AU58 money for it. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
syeb Valued Member United States 282 Posts	Posted 06/28/2016 11:50 pm Thanks for the moral support - it's the post-purchase feeling that always needs the extra boost! I think I paid a fair price for it. $550 - so above AU55 money but certainly fair given the AU58 grade on the slab and being a rare variety (R4) for the date.

Yes, exactly! I was just being technical, and I was in no way trying to belittle your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
