I FLOPPED
as it came back cleaned au details
good for the soul & humility as they can't all be winners
$340 in with grading...sure would of been a hit if it straight graded
i really dig this one though as it has sweet luster and the reverse fully cartwheels even has slight color to it...it's a keeper to me
an 1827 gets a pass in my book...even had them put the O-133 on the label
i didn't see no parallel lines one sees on forms of cleaning where coin was wiped
huge shout out to busthalfbrian for calling the overton for me and he even advised me not to send it in
sharp one that busthalf master brian is
enjoy if ya do

Ya can't win 'em all!
For a 188 year old coin to look so bright and shiney just ain't right.
exactly... unless its been "conserved" then it looks dull and ugly
<< <i>Still a looker but obviously cleaned, me thinks it is time for a new pair of glasses.....I got one.
I didn't want to use the word obviously
I see many, many obviously cleaned bust halves in straight graded holders. (More than any other series.)
i need to study it close(er) to see what i missed exactly on it
looks like it had spent some time in album as there is natural retoning around the date already
c'est la vie
highest grade details on something so early probably got the best of me
you bet though there brian
i wanted you to know...you called this one perfectly
Still, mighty nice, sharp details there.
<< <i>Happy to help, Teddy. Sorry grading didn't pan out. Stick in a kraft envelope and set it on a window sill, and then forget about it for a year or two. The longer the better, usually. Maybe give it a quick dip in Acetone before letting it 'cook'. >>
agreed, that is one of my methods

I concur
More info on the o-133 for those who are interested
