Newps GTG 1855-O SLH In-hand pics!

RedHerring · December 22, 2011 6:22AM

Recently picked up this 1855-O Arrows SLH with proceeds from my 2011 ASE set sales. These are the seller's images, should be in-hand this weekend.

She's a bit "whiter" than I prefer 150 year old silver but the price was right. What do you think PCGS said? Comments welcome.

Update: Much nicer in-hand than the Heritiage images. Some toning/color/luster is evident. Clearly dipped but nice nonetheless.

AU53 was my first thought.

Has far too much meat left on the bone to be an AU53 -or- AU55 so I'll go AU58.

AU- was what popped in my head when the pics came up. I like it.

Looks like a 58, but I suspect a silent net grade to 55 or even 53.

Nice coin. Now that is what I call a good trade. Bullion for a Seated Half!

55 or 61

I was thinking 55 shot 58.

Cleaned or dipped AU.

Too light in the reverse fields imo and the luster is far from full.

But if given a grade I'd figure AU58 to MS61. It doesn't have any obvious rub on the highpoints.

AU55

58 technical, 55 net.

Thanks for grades and comments guys! Here's the slab.

From the comments I can understand why it sold for under wholesale price! I'll post some pics when she arrives!
