  • I only see two layers of age instead of a gradual buildup of deposits over almost 200 years so I assume it has been preserved (cleaned is too harsh of a word for that one) at some point but I see a very nice VF25-30

    That is one sweet looking VF-25 B-1. Low R-5. WAY nicer than my F-12. image

    Thanks for all the comments so far, from everyone ... I really liked crypto's comment right out of the gate

    and a smile for MJ image ... yeah, does the grade really matter?

    and for coinduece's attribution (which I knew, but it is spot on, of course)

    I'll post it (the grade) a little later in case anyone else wants a shot


    Also, on another note ... after dragging my feet for longer than I ever should have with this series, I bought Steve Tompkins book ... and it arrived today (I found it on my back patio chair about an hour ago) ... what perfect timing to get this and the book the same day image

    << <i>after dragging my feet for longer than I ever should have with this series, I bought Steve Tompkins book >>



    It's a great series and one of the few that I'll actually pause to look at an original example as low as AG-03.

    Guess the reason goes back to my early days as a kid into my late teens of hanging out in various B&M's...

    As although they always had a minimum of 2 cases full of CBH's it was always a true rarity to ever see a single CBQ in any condition.

    VF20
  • pursuitoflibertypursuitofliberty Posts: 7,295 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Thanks again all ... figured I would post the grade ...

    She's in an old ANACS cache ... VF25 ... which I feel is about right, although I am more tempted to give her a VF20 grade technically. She has better color and different looks than I could capture.

    On a side note ... this coin was listed on eBay for months ... auto-listing at the same price each time until I saw it again a week ago at quite a bit (45%) less. I don't know if the seller is a member here, but I appreciate him coming down farther still to my level to make her mine.
