What do you see wrong with this NGC slab?

poorguy

Yes, I know the picture is cruddy but it's pretty obvious even without a good picture.

Bochiman

The fact it says AU50 instead of lower?

It's a five, Not a $2.50

Agreed. No 2 1/2 Injun in S.F. in 1910.....or any other date for that matter.

Russ

There were no S mint coins.

It's actually pretty nice for a 50.

There's no S mint listed for the Quarter Eagle for 1910 and I thought it looked too big.

It is nice for a 50. I wonder if it was netted down for a minor problem (cleaning, hidden rim bump, etc.). That's the first thing I ask myself when I see a coin that looks too nice for the assigned grade. Sometimes, taking a closer look, you find the reason.

You'd think they would have a program that would prevent the printing of a slab label for a coin that doesn't exist.

That's pretty funny! I'll bet PCGS would like to buy that one.

Nope, no evidence of cleaning. No rim dings. It's simply very nice for the grade.

And do what with it? There are similiar examples just like this in PCGS holders.

My guess is that they could probably care less.

Speak for yourself!

I don't know anything about the $5 dollar gold, but how can anyone tell this is a 1910-S? I don't see anything where the mint mark should be except a scratch?

Bochiman

Shows you what I know about the gold
A lot of things I need to learn about them before I think about buying them
