KisNap Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 04/18/2011 11:22 pm Does this coin look cast to you? It seels like the surface is just too rough to be real. Any thoughts? http://cgi.ebay.com/1882-Liberty-Se...em3cb700df67 Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 04/18/2011 11:24 pm Looks good to me. Probably a ground find then harshly cleaned (environmental damage) swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 04/18/2011 11:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 04/18/2011 11:26 pm I'm no expert, but a quick glance made me say uuugh! The rim looks funny (probably cast), and the whole things looks bad. Don't know much about these old dimes though. Report this Post to the Staff
drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 04/18/2011 11:30 pm Their grading system of "high grade" and "better grade" also seems suspect to me. Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 04/18/2011 11:35 pm I think it looks real too. It could have spent a lot of time under water, or a cleaned ground recovery like dave stated. It's a common date. Report this Post to the Staff

Darth Anarchus Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 12:25 am IMO, it probably had a corrosion problem, and was then cleaned...Harshly at that... Report this Post to the Staff
fcrazo Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 10:05 am Looks like it got dug up and then cleaned up. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 12:26 pm Definitely spent some time underground. Pro tip - this seller habitually overexposes their photographs. As a result, they can be counted on for some stonkin' cherrypicks if you know what you're looking at. Report this Post to the Staff
