Grade?

I picked this up on ebay about a month ago and plan on submitting it to pcgs. It is more (brick) red then the pictures indicate and has a lot of luster to it. It was listed as XF but I think it is unc.
Thanks for looking, Rich

Will post grade when I get back from PCGS.

Looks like an AU to me.

heres the ebay auction

Recolored?

CopperCollector · March 9, 2011 12:35PM

Its as natural as they come. I couldn't get the color right, but it is brick red with a mint luster and cartwheels.

I think it has a stronger strike than this 64RB and the color is similar, maybe a little more red.

My guess would be 62, based on the photos. However the seller's photos seem to show some nasty looking green on the reverse.

I wonder if the reverse edge is as struck. It looks like one the randel hoard cents one sees at times. I wonder if it will Genuine do to envior. damage. I think it is UNC detail and perhaps original color. I would guess genuine slab.

The obverse looks like it has verdigris at 11 o'clock?

The reason I mention recolored; the reverse looks like it might have residue from MS70?

deltadimeman · March 9, 2011 7:07PM

pvc ?

Manorcourtman · March 9, 2011 8:41PM

Genuine slab, high AU details.

Steve27 · March 9, 2011 8:48PM

The spots on the reverse look like areas where verdigris was removed, so I would say cleaned AU details.

ricko · March 9, 2011 9:30PM

I agree.. something has been done - particularly to the reverse. Whether PVC or verdigris... cannot tell from pictures. Might get genuine or cleaned on that one. Neat coin otherwise... and I would keep it (if I had it...

). Cheers, RickO

What he said.

lkenefic · March 9, 2011 11:32PM

I agree with Steve... Genuine.... AU58 details for the rub on the cheek and in the hair and PVC or verdigris removed from the reverse...

CopperCollector · April 24, 2011 4:45PM

OK, I haven't received it back yet but here is the grade

looks like something was removed on the reverse, pvc maybe?

ModCrewman · April 24, 2011 11:16PM

Well done...MS63RB nice grade.

291fifth · April 24, 2011 11:22PM

Genuine, corroded.

Very nice coin from the Randall hoard. The spotting is normal on these coins. I have a pcgs ms64 R/B in about the same condition but with less spotting. Congrats on the good buy! Too bad you got all the other genuines though.

Billet7 · April 25, 2011 1:41AM

I think its a very nice coin.

metalmeister · April 25, 2011 1:43AM

No kidding. Great strike.

I was surprised on the "questionable color" result, I thought the 1899 and 1907 were going to nail a 65-66 r/b, mark free and very beautiful target toned. They may go elsewhere.

MikeInFL · April 25, 2011 3:31AM

I concur with the 63RB grade.

CopperCollector · April 27, 2011 3:31AM

Very nice! So cool to see old coins like this with original skin.

Grade?
