Do you think that this will get into a PCGS/NGC details holder? And if so will it be a cleaned or what kind of details. This is in a upcoming auction and I'm thinking of bidding. I'm on a major budget so that

VF details, probably cleaned or altered surfaces. The surfaces look very unnatural to me.
NGC will guarantee a cross from NCS to NGC if I'm not mistaken.
Not NCS grading company. The basement slabber???
Looks cleaned, not sure why it was sent to NCS though. Shipwreck?!
Don't know. It's possible. I have seen ship wreck coins like this but never seen a hoard from the 1830s.
NCS is NGC's conservation arm. It slabbed coins too for a time. I assume that's what he was referring to... if not run!
I was thinking NCG. Confused my letters.
Ok, I must be hallucinating. But why does the reverse look like the design was stamped into it? Like a complete negative of what the design should be?
High VF/low XF details
Reverse rim filed. 7pm to 3pm. Rim below the denticles and blended. Not to mention worn mushy surfaces. Icky color. Icky coin.
Common date coin. Not collectible condition.
Run Forest, run.
Possibly whizzed. Pass.
Save your money, that’s an ugly looking coin.
I like gold coins, however, that is one I would pass on (based on the pictures of course). Rim looks funky, would like to see pictures of the 'third side'. Looks as if it had major conservation...Cheers, RickO
