OK teacher, what do I have to do if I flunked that test?

Cameonut

OK - here is one from my past. Sorry for the crummy pic - I was in a hurry to ship it to PCGS.

I don't know if PCGS considers this doctoring - I do.

The edge is obvious, but the other may be hard to detect.

Yep, the edge tells you that this 1855-S three dollar gold piece is ex-jewelry. I got stuck with a coin like this, which was less obvious than this example, when I was sophomore in college.

I've got slide picture of an AU sharpness 1820 quarter that I once owned that was AT. I'll have to translate it to digital one of these days.

I've posted these before.

I got hosed on this 1796 half dime. I thought that given the fact that it was old and fairly scarce that it would be "market acceptable." It wasn't. and it got a body bag.

1. On the 1955 Washington- was it dipped to remove haze?
2. The 24 peace was shake and baked.
3. The 1865 2 center was brushed with a roto-router. OUCH! One of the harshest wire brushes I've seen in awhile.
4. the 1855 $3 gold was cleaned, the "M" retooled.
5. It appears the other 2 centeres to be AT.
6. The 1796 dime appears to be be cleaned and retooled the outline of the face.

Cameonut

The '55 Washington was artificially frosted to get a dcam designation. Years later the artificial frost bled to the fields and developed a hazy appearance on the devices. That is what is seen in the photo. I had hoped to find an original photo of how it looked when I procured it, but no luck. This artificial frost was very deceptive - it fooled PCGS and me.

PCGS made me whole when I sent it in for a grade review.

That eagle looks like a mutant.

I thought the frost looked funny, but, wasn't sure why. I've only heard about them. Thanks for sharing.

The 1855-S $3 gold wasn't cleaned, but was damaged by being a jewelry piece & part of the
obv. was gouged. The area around Liberty's temple beneath the hair still had lacquer, as
did parts of the rev. field to give the appearance of luster & less wear. The edge was shaved of some
gold and reeding was added to cover it up.

Not sure but this may be questionable toning???
