Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 11/05/2006 1:24 pm OOOOH! That is a really nice coin. I would have to give that at least a MS-63. Looks like you might have overdone the contrast in your photo editor though, but, just looking at the detail and forgiving the luster for now it would be at least that. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 11/05/2006 1:33 pm I see a few things to cause concern - what may be cleaning lines around the mintmark, differing luster amidst the reverse lettering than on the fields, and luster breaks especially on the right field of the obverse. If we discount all that, I'd call this one an easy MS63 and maybe better. Of course, this is hardly my area of expertise.... Report this Post to the Staff
TypeMaster Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 11/05/2006 1:58 pm These were the photos from the ebay seller. I didn't doctor them at all. This coin was bought at an AU 58. I couldn't believe it. I missed it. Report this Post to the Staff

It's very possible this is a dipped coin, so hard to tell from photos Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 11/05/2006 2:14 pm I ran down the auction, and gave the pics a good going-over. I am pretty much convinced that the reverse, at least, has had the fields Photoshopped to hide scratches. Given this, and the 1-feedback seller's claim that his account was hijacked and he's starting a new one (more than a year later), I'd say that you dodged a bullet by not winning this one.

TypeMaster Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 11/05/2006 3:22 pm SuperDave. Good catch! But at an AU 58, I think I would have still liked to take the gamble. Report this Post to the Staff
