Coin Rarities Online
The broken language sounds like every bad scam email I've ever gotten.
Just one word.....repeated, over and over.
Run, run, run, run, Forrest run.
Ok I threw in Forrest part.

My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.
Coin he purchased
Pictures look a lot better, but a lot less revealing about the past cleaning.
Wow, what a write up! Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson have nothing over the investigative capabilities of the seller. If given a little more time I'm confident they could
produce the Civil War purse that this coin was stored in.
The auction doesn't even show the coin in a PCGS holder. Doesn't matter to me what the seller claims.
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

<< <i>Here is the Trueview. it's in a VF details (97) holder. Environmental damage. MJ >>
that makes sense as i figured the holder wasn't pictured because it was a details holder
.

Please Note: The surfaces of this coin's field are flat everywhere and entirely absent of pitting or other structural damage.
This coin is absolutely corrosion free!

If there is no issue with that description given the actual slab, then you hopefully you won't get taken by such poor descriptions.
IT MUST BE POINTED OUT THE ISSUES ON THE COIN. WHY DOES HE NOT SHOW THE SLAB????
Problems all over this listing

It sounds like seller doesn't have the coin back yet.

Compared to many others on the board I am a novice in this series.
I thought this listing for a key date was amusing at best. Seller should come out and state how he feels and not beat around the bush with window dressing. He is entitled to say he does not agree witht he TPG assessment. I looked at his feedback too and it appears solid. I was not saying seller is bad. I commend his efforts to spin the grade in a favorable light. My favorite is this: "Many chemicals associated with the manufacture of leather are known to initiate and promote the "toning" [atmospheric corrosion] of silver coins. My coin, the coin I offer here, possesses absolutely none of the characteristic issues that are generally housed under the "environmental damage" designation."

The coin is corroded. That's the bottom line. Really makes no difference how it got that way. It makes it like most other existing 60-s quarters.
Considering the coin's tiny mintage and being from San Francisco, it's probably very likely the coin never made it back east to the Civil War. Now if the seller
had claimed it was in the 1906 SF Earthquake, that would be more believable....
