Too bad it's a cleaned POS

...because it's a "micro-s" Top 100 VAM.

    Not that bad a coin...especially if it's a very hard to find variety.

    VF Detail. In a PCGS Genuine holder, it's worth all of $400

    Maybe a $400 pocket piece experiment?
    Any takers?

    I purchased a raw VG from the OP in March for $175, and it sold very quickly at $200. This could cross into a PCGS Genuine holder and sell quickly for a modest profit. The VamView Retail price index of January 2012 values VF at $400 (undervalued IMHO), with a jump to 2K in XF. The details of the coin should appeal to enough TOP 100 VAM collectors to be snapped up quickly.

    Smoebody got a deal. It's already gone, within a couple hours of my post on the numbers. image

    How does the XF coin featured differ greatly from the PCGS FN15 coin shown above (other than details)?
    They both looked cleaned and the photography of the XF coin uses a lot of lighting. Not saying it hasn't been cleaned- surely it simply may have been. Only I've seen coins of that level of brightness in PCGS problem free holders.

    I just don't understand how the OP coin is a POS yet the FN15 (PCGS) coin is not?

    The f15 doesn't have the scratching that might be associated with an obvious cleaning. The 15 is a little blah/bland on the obverse since it lacks the grunge in the crevices that give the well circulated coins that pleasing look that you like to see.

    Thank you for your answer.
    Is it based on the photos or have you viewed the FN15 personally?

    Did anyone here buy it? I cherrypicked so much last week that I have actually run out of discretionary funds (LOL), so I can only buy coins that fall into the "you suck" category for a while.

    Yeah, the dreaded "Accugrade" The only thing their accurate about is the buyer of their coins will be ripped off! It happened to me also, as I mentioned in another thread. When I was naive,young in the hobby. I crossed over my coin ( I think it was a morgan too) I got back thee old " Bodybag". We learn the hard way,sometimes.

    A new entity will rise called ADGC : Accurate Details Grading Company.
    Achieving the POS status guarantees fair prices. Anyone got some spare stickers and a good eye for detail ?

    This could be a great thread.
