Oh excellent thank you so very much RG, your a sweetheart :give_heart:
A wise person knows there is something to learn from everyone.

I collected this some time ago because of the left tilted 4. Thinking lately of maybe sending it to a TPG, and now wondering if I'm wasting my time because of the reverse planchet flaw? Didn't consider it to be a negative at the time :dash1: It was a split grade of gEF/aUNC. Opinions appreciated :)

I'd say its borderline as to whether they will grade it.
If they do they will deduct points for the flaw.
My guess is 58 - 2 points = 53

Nevol

I'm not so sure it's a Pl.Flaw.  Looks like a cud on the N to me.

I reckon it will slip through


Just aquired these 2 and was wondering if poeple considered these worth slabbing

It\'s not about who you know it\'s about what you know

They look in reasonable nick and the first one is reasonably well centred. So at a potential selling price in the range of $500 to $800, depending on actual grade achieved, the slabbing cost is likely worth it.

I find it hard to estimate grades of $1 coins from a photo -have you considered what they may grade?
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

I'd say they would grade between VF30 to XF45 but mid range dollars can go either
way I'd say

Thanks echidna, I might risk it

It is a flaw Nevol, the flap is still in place

Thanks stevo, and that first mule of yours looks better than gVF to me

Appreciate any thoughts on these. 1931 Indian dropped 1, 1942I with missing mm. Would the toning on the 31, and the heavier toning on the 42 prevent them from being CWOS? TIA

The 42 looks gradable to me.
2 points for the streaky tone though.
Dunno about the 31.
I'd just send both in if they were mine.

I like the 31 - very nice coin despite the uneven tone/colour.

gnome

Envious of the 31, mate. Nice looking coin.

The other list is equally impressive. :)

autocoupler

Thanks G. Most are from ebay, but in a weak moment I did pay for a couple of others :blink:

I've got quantity instead of the quality, mainly lower grade ones. Still missing the 31 and one or two of the 20's. Pain in the butt to try and keep sorted at times. :)
