AT or NT? GRADE IN

cheezhed · November 15, 2010 9:58AM

NT but still bagged, I'm sure because of the brownish stain.

Nice MS 66, but I'll bail you out at an AT price if you don't like it!

DieClash · November 15, 2010 12:13PM

I bid $35 on this most excellent auction!

Bochiman · November 15, 2010 12:18PM

Sorry to pull the RickO but it looks UT and needs dipped

ecichlid · November 15, 2010 12:19PM

Au-natural.

Dog97 · November 15, 2010 1:27PM

I'm saying cleaned & retoned. Looks like smoebody used a pencil eraser behind ole Danel's head.

I'll have a better idea soon enough, I pulled the trigger on it.

The origin and analytical identification of the tarnish/residue is questionable. The same effect can be had using at least two different AT methods - and the professional coin doctors likely know many more. That (without close, in hand examination) effect can be achieved with some common kitchen materials and hair dryer level heat. Cheers, RickO

Broadstruck · November 15, 2010 9:43PM

NT and I'll go $35.01

pheh · November 15, 2010 10:51PM

Clearly NT and I think you I think you may have picked a real winner.

coindudeonebay · November 15, 2010 11:24PM

Solid NT and very nice.

7Jaguars · November 15, 2010 11:53PM

Need you ask on this forum? Nearly every call is "NT". Still not much into it...

BillJones · November 16, 2010 12:22AM

NT, but it's the kind of toning that often gets dipped off the coin.

Best to you on it. It is NT, imho, but it is UT (ugly toned), as I stated as well (to me).
I have some franklins and washingtons like that, that I bought from a board member...part of a mint set from 1954. Sight unseen (with a return policy, but it really wasn't worth it to spend on shipping to return, etc). I know from my own experiences that, that kind of toning, is not pretty to me. Unacceptable even.

But, if YOU like it, and are fine with it, that is what matters.

cheezhed · November 19, 2010 7:28AM

I got this one today and I must say it looks far better in hand than the auction images.

The toning "stain" under the chin isn't nearly as pronounced and offensive as the pic would lead one to believe.

I am quite happy with this addition to my classic commemorative set.

cheezhed · December 15, 2010 7:32AM

Update at top of thread.

relicsncoins · December 15, 2010 7:37AM

The brown looks like a foreign substance. Did you try a soak in acetone to see if it would come off?

cheezhed · December 15, 2010 7:40AM

Not before sending it in, I will when it gets back.

MrD · December 15, 2010 7:48AM

That coin is terrible. How much do you want?

cheezhed · December 15, 2010 7:50AM

LindeDad · December 15, 2010 7:56AM

Actually they gave up at Enviormental damge and did not even get to the toning. Worst item for no grade gets coded others do not.

darktone · December 15, 2010 9:17AM

great looking coin and a real keeper.

Dog97 · December 15, 2010 9:28AM

Hmmm, me & ricko were the only negative arseholes that called it out as a problem coin.
Sorry about your bad result at the grading house, cheezehead. Thanks for updating us.

mozin · December 15, 2010 9:32AM

Sorry, but I think the coin is ugly. That is the problem with toned Classic Commemoratives, it is hard to find many people that will agree on whether or not the toning is nice. Flash dip them, then encapsulate them.

Outhaul · December 15, 2010 9:45AM

I'd buy it!

kurtdog · December 15, 2010 9:22PM

<< <i>NT but still bagged, I'm sure because of the brownish stain. >>

That's a spill. If all I had going for me in my life was a reputation in relationship to market grading coins, I don't believe I'd want to put my imprimatur behind that one, either, I think I'd rather want it to represent better tastes than that. FWIW...

cheezhed · December 16, 2010 9:11AM

That's exactly what happened.

keets · December 16, 2010 9:20AM

much like the one from a day or so ago this looks to me like it's been played with. such is the hazard of buying sight unseen based an online picture. certainly the coin itself is what counts and not the opinion of a TPG even if it is PCGS, but the risk is ending up with coins which are difficult to sell while also breaking even. it is a tough lesson that we all learn when hypnotized by tone.

cheezhed · December 16, 2010 9:33AM

The colors were like a siren's song!

PCcoins · December 16, 2010 10:39AM

Don't always believe what Ricko tells you.... NT all the way... cheers

MsMorrisine · December 16, 2010 10:43AM

what's that greenish-blue stuff DB sneezed out of his nose?

PCcoins · December 16, 2010 10:46AM

Oh, and I would have tryed an acetone bath for a few hours up to a few days, depending if the acetone was helping out any.

It can never hurt, but just might help. I usually always will try an acetone bath if the coin is worthy of grading but has some funky toning or substance on the surface.

metalmeister · December 16, 2010 10:55AM

Looks NT but brown poop is a bit fugly

AT or NT? GRADE IN
