   << <i>Russ, I am well aware coins are born raw. My point is that a raw coin from before 1900 sends a red flag that the coin has probably been rejected before. >> Yea Russ, remember that next time they bag your 2 cent piece.

   All things are explainable. There is a reason the coin pictured is not in a slab. You couldn't get it into a slab. Its former owner couldn't get it into a slab.

   Mark I want to meet the person that can inhance the color,without disturbing the luster.I want to shake his hand. Tom I have to agree with you.I think they are siding with caution,but this doesn't make it right.
