LINE # CERT # COIN DATE DENOMINATION VARIETY COUNTRY GRADE
1 21704498 1880-CC S$1 8/7 Reverse of 78 USA MS64
Bought this one from a semi-shyster dealer who sells almost nothing but raw coins, overgrades just about everything I've seen, makes no mention that LOTS of them are cleaned, and charges "all the money".
But he also doesn't know much about VAMs. He sold this as a reverse of '78, but he didn't know it's the MUCH tougher 8/7 version.
Oh yeah, and he sold it to me as an MS63

When in doubt, don't.

Congratulations Dennis!

But wouldn't that be a mean thing to do?
That would be a major mistake.
One, he may want it back.
Two, he won't sell you anything again or let you look at his stuff.
Three, he starts really overgrading like crazy then.
Bad idea.
Best to keep it to yourself.

yeah...so what?
Still, I'd say to keep it to yourself!
Sleep well tonight for the 82nd Airborne Division is on point for the nation.
