Strongly considering picking this one up. I want to know what you guys think it grades prior to buying it because I'm going to have to get this encapsulated. And yes, I was too lazy to photoshop out the watermark.   |

This is a mid-grade MS, maybe 64 or 65. Can't judge surfaces based on the photos.

Perhaps the best 2 Cents I have ever seen, even in picture form.
I will go with 65.
Die cracks as well !

I'm sure you're aware that the price jump to 65 and 66 is enormous in RD grades. That would make be nervous.

Well at the price I'm looking at I profit at 64RB. Not really worried. I don't think it can get red because of the toning. Am I wrong?

It may well be juiced, question is, do I risk it?

Juiced or arificially toned, hard to tell, If they have a fair return policy can't hurt! If not, I would pass, unless the price is significantly less then the grade they give.

But if its natural looking in hand, it could be real nice.

For 175 and a return policy Id say get it. And post your own photos here. And maybe we can help you decide. It has potential I think, even though I am not convinced the toning is natural.

That's what worries me. I have to free up the cash as well, at 16 my budget is tight. Interested in a 1999 WAM anyone? |

with a great return policy, why not take a look if you like it? look high ms but cannot tell about luster and patine. surfaces look blemish free. I would take a shot to look in hand.

I am in the MS63-64 range but the color worries me a little. Keep us updated!

The only way I have managed to 'juice' a modern coin, it experiment with a mint fresh current year copper nickel coins.
Just apply heat in varying amounts to a range of coins, until a nice rainbow effect is produced.
I would certainly not risk a classic 100+ year old coin such as this one, unless I knew it was a newly struck fake.
This coin most certainly does not look fake to me, therefore, in my opinion,
toning genuine.
