sellers images

*********************************update in hand*********************************************
not that my images are any better...but i tried
looks like it wasn't polished or cleaned<<<<this is good
passes the magnet test<<<<this is good
doesn't have copy stamped<<<this is good
alot of mint luster<<<this is good
a lil puzzled over the edge...do they show reed-like grab marks for when they lettered the edge<<<pictured

with any luck someone at the las vegas show on the 18th can look it over for me before submitting it

anyways...here's my images (a lil darker then in hand)...looks au55...will see what it grades at as i don't know this series...but $200 happy here i am...image
image
not sure if that scratch is market acceptable by date...my image really brings it out
image
reed-like marks between letters...is this normal?

    That does look like it has potential. Hopefully it's not been polished.

    old skool slabbing

    sum likes reverse's
    sum likes obverse's

    at least they didn't cut it in half to display both

    but
    if they had 2 in there...i would of doubled down here in vegas at $400...image

    Yeah that frame is just crazy especially since there's no significance for displaying the 1835 date image

    You might want to see if NGC will place a grade on the frame as they do with GSA and Paramount holders imageimageimage

    I only have a few capped bust halves and I don't remeber there being anything like that reeding type lines on yours. I still think at $200 you did fine, lets find out what PCGS has to say.

    Coin looks boinked to my eyes Teddy.
    Pretty big hits on her neck also.
    Not always a good idea to use the TPG's to find out if she is good or bad either.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    The reeding in between the letters is normal. Especially on higher grade coins.

    Looks like great AU detail from here. The marks on the neck and above the date are the only thing I see that might be a hinderance in grading problem free.
