Auction Buy #1

Yea, I spent some money today and I know how much you ppl like pictures so here is the first. Guess grade if you like. I think it was mismarked. Ballpark value too so I can see if I got jipped!

Looks AU, but the picture also makes it look polished

AU-50, I think. But that gash on the neck is pretty harsh. I'm also not convinced this is original. It's a $10 coin, IMO.

ognig, I dont belive its MS grade. If it is, it is a very, very weak strike. Ms Liberty has some distracting marks. I

would not have bid on it much over $25.00. Sorry. Bob

Looks like polish residue stuck in the fine details and around the stars. Is that a die crack under Libertys eye?

IMHO, you are purchasing "problem" coins, which will be difficult to sell, if you need to at a later date.

They may be problem coins...this is a learning experience for me. I do also know that my scanner doesn't produce a very good picture and my digital camera has terrible macro capabilities. The coins themselves set me back about $22 each. I didn't have enough money with me to get the 'good stuff'! It was interesting to watch exactly what was going for whatever price. I see people talk about Morgans on here alot so I figured what the heck! Don't spend any more than you can afford!

AU and cleaned. Use this as a learning experience and enjoy the hobby, learning from mistakes is what it is all about.
