<< <i>I agree. Great photo by the way. >>
yes, should be a 64 and certainly a nice pick up! But, where's the tailbar??

with a little tlc, i'm in the 65 camp, from the images.

I am going to root for you, but I would take a closer look for altered surfaces.
That being said, you nailed that Redfield you sold me at 64!
Cheers!
<< <i>I'll put myself out there and say that I do NOT like this coin- in particular the cheek. It does not look original to my eyes, and appears to have been smoothed. I don't think it's been puttied, it's more the texture that bothers me than the color. It does not look like metal on that coin should look like to me. I may be wrong and look forward to hearing what pcgs says. >>
I think you are right. It looks like someone smoothed out the surface of the cheek.

Light use of an eraser awhile back? I could see that in the pic's also.
Edit to add....3 reasonably hard hits on the cheek keep it away from a 4 to me!
Hoard the keys.
<< <i>It's a VAM 6.
I see your guys' concerns on the cheek, but I don't think it's from intentional alteration. Some of them actually don't seem incuse, they seem raised, as if from die polish or something. This is a pic under harsh light with the coin angled to try to capture the issues in the area;
I've got it soaking in acetone right now, we'll see how it looks when it comes out... and maybe I'll give it a real quick, weak dip. >>
...Acetone bath is all good, doesn't look like it will make it any better...weak dip, no no on this one IMO...there is nothing to burn off that baby but sweet luster

There is definitely some haze and a light fingerprint on the obverse, in front of the head. I'll try to get a pic of that later. >>
Unless that fingerprint is yours or the eBay sellers, then Acetone won't help any...either way though, it will never hurt

The weak dip will, though. >>
...yes, you are correct; the weak dip will hurt that coin...no question
Erik
as much as those specks want to irritate me...those fields carry such away...those are clean fields
those hits look like strike through with all those raised die polished lines
sweet example and congrats

<< <i>Got an email stating they're charging me extra to grade this. $12 more than econ price so I guess it graded problem free... The anticipation builds. >>
lol...you sent that under economy...hmmmm
uh...yeah
that's a lil more then a $300 coin there
<< <i>Got an email stating they're charging me extra to grade this. $12 more than econ price so I guess it graded problem free... The anticipation builds. >>
You should have never sent it economy. The coin in UNC, even UNC details, is worth more than $300. So, at the very least, you should have sent it under Regular.

Not sure I understand the point of a long acetone soak, and from that pic it appears to already have been dipped at least once or twice, so I don't think yet another dip is going to do much other than additionally flatten out the lustre. I think the best thing for that coin is just to leave it alone.....JMO.
<< <i>Looks 65 to me.

Me too. It's all there. Just depends if the cheek is really as good as it appears.

That's not right. Will PCGS be refunding people who pay for Express or Walkthrough on coins that don't grade? Of course not.

Whoa ...3 Face marks ,and also 1 on reverse ....Let us know what the grade turns out.... My PCGS, from years ago , turned out to be a 63..with less marks

Unc details 1890-CCs with a harsh cleaning go for $200-$250, for one thing.
Secondly, I expected and welcomed the upcharge. It's a lot better than paying the $32 plus handling plus separate shipping since they require a separate submission and separate shipping charges for each Tier. I only had One coin that was too nice for econ. So whatever. Saved me money, makes me happy, and that's what PCGS hopefully wants... Satisfied customers. >>
^^^ i love it^^^
right on
truly my reply was more so in friendly banter...not scolding you
best of luck with this grade too
