    They probably dream about never having to look at another modern.

    Yup. Harshly cleaned. I wouldn't be surprised if he cracked it out of a genuine no-grade slab so that he could sell it raw without disclosing any problems.

    A dream is a wish the heart makes.

    It ain't this.
    Let's try not to get upset.

    It looks like it's in an ANACS holder. I am sure the label is not included in the image as it discloses the problem(s).

    I wonder why he chose to pluralize "photo's" and "detail's" with apostrophes, while "graders" didn't get one.

    Maybe they dream of having an unnecessary apostrophe, too?

    I wonder what kind of holder that is.

    Maybe the grader's - oops- I mean graders- didn't dream of the grade?

    ... or as mentioned, it was a nightmare, so the seller chooses not to disclose it?

    Just another example of the declining competence in essential grammar and spelling that is running rampant with our "educated" population. Don't even get me started on math skills!

    I was thinking earlier today about the amazing and strange dream i had last night (thank you melatonin!!).... and this thread got me to thinking that i have never dreamt about coins.... really kind of weird, as i spend so much of my waking time thinking about ways to scheme more into my life... er, collecting.

    I got bored and sent a question who graded the coin and what grade was given to this coin. Should be fun to hear the answer.

    Maybe nightmares about being naked in front of a panel about counterfeiting?

    Dreams of finding chain cents in change?

    I bet as soon as they go to bed and close their eyes, they see stacks and stacks of Morgan dollars.

    After looking at coins all day long, I would bet that coins are the last thing they dream about unless they are having a nighmare.

    I got an answer from that seller.

    "The coin has not been graded, alot of my nicer raw coins i put in my own plastic holders just to protect them better.the details of this coin,obverse and reverse are highly detailed,especialy the face,hair,dress lines,full liberty,all shield lines,all feathering,arrows,branch and talons. if I where a professional grader I would grade it CHOICE ABOUT UNCIRCULATED TO UNCIRCULATED but I'm not so you need to judge, I hope I answered your question well enough like I said it's not professionaly slabbed.Thank you for your interest and have a great day."

    looks more like a pcgs holder to me but there is the sellers answer
