IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 04/04/2019 3:13 pm Can you add photos of the edge in those areas? Report this Post to the Staff
KenBerthiaume Pillar of the Community United States 512 Posts	Posted 04/04/2019 3:16 pm IndianGoldEagle, I can't, I haven't bought it yet, not sure if I will. It's also slabbed, which is nice, not sure how they got those pictures if it's slabbed. They don't have pictures of it in the slab. Also they have a no return policy which is tough when buying an expensive coin. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 04/04/2019 3:18 pm Okay, if slabbed these edge abnormalities are probably from the holder. Very nice AU-55 coin. Report this Post to the Staff
KenBerthiaume Pillar of the Community United States 512 Posts	Posted 04/04/2019 3:23 pm Do you think it looks cleaned at all? Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 04/04/2019 3:26 pm There are some small hairlines on reverse but it does look original. They might be friction lines from being in an old coin cabinet which early collectors used. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 04/04/2019 5:22 pm IMO the surfaces are original (coin not cleaned). I'd grade it as XF. IMO those rim areas are damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/04/2019 5:53 pm That mystery rim piece is too neat and symmetrical to be mint-produced. Have you simply asked the seller if that is part of the slab? Report this Post to the Staff
jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 04/04/2019 6:15 pm What you are seeing is part of the holder. They cropped the picture and left part of the holder in the pic. Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11884 Posts	Posted 04/04/2019 11:42 pm au53 due to limited luster. likely in a au55 slab. looks original to me with light market acceptable wipe marks in reverse fields. agree that the coin is pictured in a PCGS slab.
