Man I hate those ebay links ... I can't play from work.

But aren't you supposed to be working you say? I play between the program runs.

Hmm... I'm just not sure hemi! It sure is pretty, but can a "cleaned" coin be worth a full MS 62 price? Only you know how badly you need it! =)

Why didn't they grade it? All PCGS is saying is that it's genuine. They're easy to come by why don't you shop around? I think you could do much better.

If you made a typo there with the 7/8, then I would say that this is not the coin for you (as others have stated, you could get a graded one for that money).

If there was no typo, and you really 'do' need a 7/8, then I would say that this is not the coin for you as this is not a 7/8TF, it is a 8TF VAM 12.

Either way, typo or not, I suggest that you keep looking and let this one pass.

That coin looks MS61-MS62. I think you can get a PCGS no problem MS62/63 for around the same price or just a little more.

it says right in the item description that it was "cleaned at some point during it's life" which is why it got the "genuine" labeling from PCGS

I would pass on a cleaned coin. To me, it is worth spending a little more to get an original coin. As an added bonus, original no-problem coins are easier to sell should the need ever arise.

First of all, its NOT an 7/8 TF, its VAM 12 as ZEEWOOL points out...AND its ungradeable.......she does shine,, but not like a good woman....too much lip stick and rouge...not what your looking for....the market is lean and prices are cheap for buying.....$150 is still basic for MS61/62 gradeable....knock 40% for cleaned...less for genuine......If you know the VAM.....7/8TF your looking for.........why pay more for a VAM thats not an 7/8TF.....they are all vams.....1878......
