Is this the correct grade?

SnoopyII · March 30, 2007 3:13AM

I purchased this from a seller who stated he was an advanced grader. He represented it to me as an MS63. I am reselling it. Not trying to drum up business just wanted to make sure I wasn't misrepresenting the grading.

comments? thanks

Cladiator · March 30, 2007 3:15AM

Perhaps a better way to assure others you're not trying to "drum up business" would have been to post the photos and ask the question before the auction started.

Edited to add: A translation of my above statement for those that didn't get it. You're spaming and it's lame. Go somewhere else.

and post it elsewhere (BST)
and not make it your first post EVER

to 50 cent:

I stand behind my feedback rating. 7 years selling on eBay. I know that if i give a negative I will almost assuredly get one back. I never ask for feedback. I never give feedback first (or only on rare ocassions) if I solicited feedback I would be over 2500 for sure.

richardshipp · March 30, 2007 3:30AM

Edit: changed as I saw link was deleted.

For someone who only has 2 posts now, you sure figured out how to add links, pictures and an avatar quick

Although you forgot to turn on your profile.

mackdriver · March 30, 2007 3:31AM

What does a first post or 10,000th post got to do with it?I still don't see the spam,so enlighten me.

What world do you live in man? Naivety must be nice.

SnoopyII · March 30, 2007 3:34AM

so anyways do the pictures in the edited, original post look ms63? (or close?) if not why? if so why? thanks

NH484000 · March 30, 2007 3:35AM

Edited: I see the obverse now--

LALASD4 · March 30, 2007 3:36AM

No spam now, maybe before the edit?

1. Any forum has customs. This one is no different. A person who jumps in and breaks customs, either intentionally or through lack of any kind of casual research, is going to take some tomatoes thrown at them.

2. Posting a coin for sale on the coin forum is bad form, according to custom. It is considered spam. If you don't like that custom, find another board or stick around here, participate, contribute, and use the force of your personality to change the custom.

I hope that clarifies it for you.

you said that quite nicely.

I'm no good on Morgan's anyhow; I thought they were supposed to look like this....

Regulated · March 30, 2007 3:43AM

Reading the first post, I really don't get the sense that she was trying to promote the sale of that coin. Was something edited out that I missed?

BlindedByEgo · March 30, 2007 3:44AM

<< so anyways do the pictures in the edited, original post look ms63? (or close?) if not why? if so why? thanks >>

The flatbed scanner makes the coin look lifeless. The strike is weak with hair detail missing (I guess not unexpected for an O mintmark), but because it is a scan rather than a photo, hard to see luster breaks which would point out wear versus bad strike. Since the breast feathers seem all there, I'll say strike instead of wear. MS62/63 IMO.

yes

That's because the current first post is not the original first post. The edit function works wonders.

mackdriver · March 30, 2007 3:52AM

Only thing changed was that she added an obverse pic to the original post.Still no spamming.

Only thing eh? What about the link to her auction selling the coin? Oh yeah...forgot about that huh?

Edit: Plus the fact that there were ZERO photos of the coin in the thread originally. You had to click her link to see the pics in the auction to see the coin at all.

50cents · March 30, 2007 3:54AM

<< Only thing changed was that she added an obverse pic to the original post.Still no spamming. >>

What about the link to the auction.

Shamika · March 30, 2007 3:55AM

Yes - This coin looks 63.

Yes - This post looks like spam.

I removed the link and uploaded the pix to my FTP. Thanks for giving me credit for that.

jmj3esq · March 30, 2007 4:08AM

Maybe its indirect spam. I will answer the question anyway. The coin looks like it could grade at MS63, IMO. Unless that is wear on her hair. Scan is not detailed enough to make a good determination.

richardshipp · March 30, 2007 4:13AM

SnoopyII,

I'm still curious about some things:

If you wanted an opinion so as to sell the coin accurately; why did you list it for sale before asking?

Also,

As a new member how in the world did you figure out the...... edit, linking, adding pics, quoting, avatar things so quick? I must really be slow

I feel the need to clarify something..........

If you meant "you suck" in the negative form then you sir are correct. If you meant it in the positive form then you were mistaken. Here's the obverse of the coin...

3 things I see wrong with your auction

Not having a .99 start
Not having a picture of both the obverse and reverse
Not a clear return policy in the auction

GoldenEyeNumismatics · March 30, 2007 5:31AM

certainly looks like a solid MS63

mackdriver · March 30, 2007 5:31AM

You have to watch those "Spam Busters" Snoopy,they can be really hard on first time posters.

posting a coin for sale on the forum is not only bad form it's against the rules of this forum too..........

relicsncoins · March 30, 2007 7:09AM

It's difficult to say from the photos. Could go anywhere from 58-63. I don't have a problem with advertising it as a 63. In the long run, the bidders will decide if it's a 63 and worth a 63 bid.

DenverDave · March 30, 2007 10:11AM

Welcome Snoopy, hope you survive your first post..."-)

Looks like a solid 63 if not a 64 to me...

Type2 · March 30, 2007 10:45AM

Welcome Snoopy, Looks Nice I would say MS60 to MS63 just so they dont have a beff with you later. I under Grade my coins so the buyer is a happer camper I dont like to lie.
