Appropriate use of the descriptor: filler (early gold)

Baley

do you think this is genuine?

Link to 1804 quarter eagle

can a coin grade less than zero?

is it better than no coin in the hole??

I can barely stand to look at the picture....

yet it's oddly compelling

Baley

what would ANACS slab it?

"VG details, holed, plugged, rim mount, damaged: mount partially removed, scratched, corroded, cleaned."
Net PO-1

might rival Jeremy's famous dime! (the one in PO with lots of damage)

On the other hand, repair the mount, add a loop, would make a decent pendant?

Baley

Finally, what do you think it will close at??

I think the first thing ANACS would do is label it "fake." That is the most slush-cast looking gold piece I've yet seen.

That coin doesnt even look genuine to me at all. I think its a cast!

Baley

but... but.. it's "guaranteed genuine"

mrearlygold

looks like a casting.

It doesn't look genuine...

And you rang?

Varlis

Um, yeah. That doesn't look real to me, either. Unless it was also sitting in acid for a while.

<< <i>Um, yeah. That doesn't look real to me, either. Unless it was also sitting in acid for a while. >>

I bought it cleaned... very cleaned...

Then, I:

-holed it
-scratched it
-graffitited initials/date
-bent it
-lit it ablaze
