If you see the one that is buy it now for $8500, there is rim damage on the front and back. Also look at the 7, appears to be to much silver buildup in that area. There are to many raised areas on that coin and I am afraid that it is one of the many 40 year old counterfeits. Not to mention the fact that it has been cleaned. Just look at he eagles wings all built up, it appears that this one was not caught by the grading service. Buildup occurs when the coins are cast from a mold.

I stand by my estimation of AU-53 for Neil....... It is a much nicer coin than this slabbed ebay unknown. Not to mention Neils is a "rare coin" allowing grading to even be a little more forgiving. :laughing7: AU-55 or better?

Hey Neil, Congrats on the sale. I sell alot on EBAY,(as you know). Personally.....I would have never had it encapsulated and graded. Almost always come back as "corroded" or damaged. Most collectors like to examine these "in the metal", so grading is kind of a waste of $. Doesn't surprise me as to the issue you had with the buyer. The A$$H... got a hell of a price as it was. I like cash! As long as you take a pic and put it on your wall, that's all the "keepsake" I need! :thumbsup: Congrats my friend.....and many more! Keep in touch..............Hogge
