I think that coin has been cleaned. I don't like the "halo" I can see around some of the letters and devices.

I thought so too Mark,but everyone just ignored my earlier statement.

Oh well

PPH showed me the coin yesterday and didn't like the look of it then and was a little surprised you were the only one who had similar concerns. Thought you needed some support.

I listed it on ebay and it will probably be an expensive lesson

Quote from: 'stevo1962' pid='21579' dateline='1373875861'Any ideas on the grade of this one ?

I have just looked of this old post, The images have disappeared :dash1:
I am pretty sure that we were discussing a coin that Steve later put on ebay and I ended up with it.
I am pretty sure that this was the coin because I wrote "Thanks Steve" on the 2x2, I recently had this coin graded by PCGS.
Here it is:ok:
we could always check the fingerprints :dash1:

Ouch au cleaned sucks
Half the battle with this coin is getting one that will grade. The other half is getting one that will grade ms!
This will become a condition rarity

A bit like the 21/22 overdate

I bought this coin from a seller on Facebook and they said they hadn't
cleaned it but someone obviously did.Would have been a nice coin otherwise

I know nothing about grading coins , but I am pretty sure that some of mine are much better then that one Steve , that is just my opinion and I should have stayed out of it , and also I don't have the photo skills to show good pictures ,..so why am I writing this anyway , I should mind my own business , so my wife dawn says .. I am still waiting for another 2 to arrive as I write this , and I say sorry , mine are not for sale , they are for my kids later on .. I am happy now that I have put my 2 bob,s worth in .. ,, kel ,,

stevo they may well be telling the truth so you cant hold that against them. if they didn't see that it was cleaned and you didn't then you will have to chalk it up to bad luck. you are still up as far as I know on the MANY good grades you have got back from ebay buys.
I am jealous of some of them that 39 you got was great!

I realise that buying coins online is always a risky business so you're never going to win every time but by the same token you will occasionally get a coin that was underated by the seller.Overall I've been very lucky so a few bad deals doesn't discourage me but is part of the learning experience

Then you sold it to Me on eBay and didn't charge me for it :angel:
Regardless of what grade this coin came back as I had NO intention of selling it as it was a gift and as I have had many of my gifted coins graded they will find a special place in my collections and appreciated greatly because of what they are and what they represent, NOT their grades .
You are a Good Bloke Mate :yahoo:

anyone seen the population increase on pcgs? do you think they are new coin or old ones being re holstered with correct designation?

stevo1962 · September 03, 2014, 11:53:19 AM

Still not many in the population but they are probably reholdering at no charge

stevo1962 · September 05, 2014, 12:27:31 PM

New arrival and although not perfect it's far better than
anything I've had before so it's off to PCGS we go

Thanks Serial it has a little bit of light chatter on both sides
but hardly any wear so I'm hoping it will do well
