A picture is worth a thousand words. Give us an education!

Can we post a picture of an NCS coin? It would be a bodybag material @ PCGS.

But how many coins do you own that were body bagged for the previous owner??? Not that you care, of course.

I'm still waiting to see some...

I'd post one if I had one, but since I've never submitted, I don't have any.

Here is one of my lessons learned. Bought it from a dealer at a coin show for $70 and he told me he did not think it was AT. Sent it to ANACS and it is AT Net MS60.

Lori, that does look cleaned and retoned somehow. Looks like Jewelluster applied with a q-tip
old trick. Just write it off to tuition, and you have something to show for your money.

I was just upset that the dealer lied to me. I am sure he just wanted to get rid of it. I was hoping that dealers would be a bit more honest especially at coin shows. Trust no one but yourself I guess when coin hunting.

Bought in 1978ish by my dad from a Tampa FL dealer both bodybagged for "Altered surfaces" whatever THAT means.

The 1909s VDB bought from the same guy is fake, bodybagged by PCGS also but no pics handy

Here is one that just came back as ' altered surfaces ' - of course if I thought it would bodybag, I would not have submitted it. Tell me, MrEureka, what is altered surfaces on copper? dipped in something?

PCGS body bagged this 1858 Flying eagle as "questionable toning." PSGS stands alone in that opinion. Every dealer to whom I have shown this coin debated whether or not it was an MS-65. It's my coin, and I've always graded it MS-64 because it has too many small marks.

Perhaps it's because the coin has an even golden color and no spots. If someone could have put this look on these coins consistently in the 1970s and '80s they would have made a fortune. They didn't because this coin is totally original.

I've got others, and I'll post the pictures over time. Right now I'm in Florida, and don't have access to the software and coins to show them.
