And yes a mechanical error when it comes to how CAC slabbed it in a Huge holder with a HUGE coin gasket - Ridiculous...
Holder: 5" x 5-3/4" x 1.5" x 1 lb
Coin gasket: 1-1/8" deep = FAIL. The gasket reminds me of a skateboard wheel. An anti-edgeview holder.
JMO - this thread had a long, even great run! But it’s essentially been “dead” for over a month. Reviving it might draw some interest, but more than likely not. Again, JMO. Have at it (& I would love to be proven wrong)!

True, and it seems that our friend @hummingbird_coins , after presenting us with a coin to guess on - has ghosted us?

have to agree, overall, but throwing in an VF-30 for this one.
Too much wear and tear for EF grades.

This thread could lay dormant for 20 years and once again re-emerge so until the mods close it or turn out the lights.
So party on Garth!

I graded my $20 @ VF35. I was wrong.
out of sheer curiosity what are you saying here?
It’s not in a VF35 slab but that’s how I valued it. This is a recent pick from Stack’s at $4800… not too bad a premium over melt for a first year double eagle. There’s some luster but I don’t have the coin in-hand yet so I’m hoping it’s not been cleaned.

@Rc5280 You'll need three more wheels. Wow! I don't even know what to say about that.
They've got to change that coin gasket, it detracts and buries the coin/medal.

Glad to hear from you, no biggie! Thanks.
Let's stick with the 1850 $20 Liberty Head above - my guess is XF40

3rd party grade to be shared tomorrow.
I graded my $20 @ VF35. I was wrong.
out of sheer curiosity what are you saying here?
Does this mean that someone correctly guessed the 3rd party grade?
It’s not in a VF35 slab but that’s how I valued it. This is a recent pick from Stack’s at $4800… not too bad a premium over melt for a first year double eagle. There’s some luster but I don’t have the coin in-hand yet so I’m hoping it’s not been cleaned.
Welp, it's been 24 hrs and no correct guesses.
I'll guess AU53...
Nice AU 53. CDN CPG $6500
No way this is an AU coin. But I’ll report back when I have the coin in hand.
Love old gold, take a few minutes to read the rules/guidelines on page 1 when you get the chance.
