    So it's in a "PGA" holder which is what? Might be AT. Gassed, baked?

    I'd like a better picture of the reverse. The coin itself could be fake

    The coin looks cleaned and exhibits unnatural color. As such, it's not worth anywhere close to AU58 money.

    Looks cleaned and retoned.

    Cleaned and retoned. It's very common with these holders.

    That looks horrible. If it's authentic, and that is a legitimate "if", then it appears to have altered surfaces and most likely AT to attempt to cover it up.

    No expert here, but it looks AT to me.

    A coin that I feel would be unacceptable inhand. I believe the fields would look terrible in different lighting.

    The color just looks off. I would never buy an AU58 1889 cc Morgan unless it was graded and authenticated by one of the major TPG's...Period! Too risky otherwise.

  • BarberianBarberian Posts: 3,582 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Cleaned and likely artificially toned. Weird color.

    A coin like that should be purchased already graded if you want a nice coin. Otherwise, you have a much lower chance of the coin being problem free unless you have great pictures and can interpret them properly. That takes experience. That coin is not likely to straight grade from what I see.

    Also, for a coin like this purchased sight unseen, it had better have a return policy.

    It looks like an XF/AU coin that's been heavily processed and then plopped into a questionable slab.

    That coin should be a hard pass.
