The coin in question is definitely NOT "gem BU" (as described by the seller GSC).

The coin is/was at one time a high end AU coin that has been way over dipped. The excessive dipping has killed any remaining luster that the coin had and that's why it now has that dull gray color.

The coin will slab with a details grade.....unless of course it ends up with one of the basement slabbers....then all bets are off!

I hope the price was right .


$29 just checked on ebay history. w/out question MS and would righteously slab from PCGS or NGC as a 62/63 in all likelihood although I am not sure RB would be in the cards but some had opined that at the time I posted last year.

I think most coins below 1940's has been cleaned, dipped or what-so-ever at least once, either gently with a soft cloth or with a brillo pad. Finding a older coin that hasn't been clean is a major task these days for me.
