MS 66 RED

I see some ghosting on the reverse. Dunno if that affects the grade negatively or not.

I think it looks great.

That is one so-wheat a$$ looking cent. That's my grade.

65 Red

Humm sure looks like a 66 red to me, probably means its a 65 red I never get these right...

I'll go with MS-65 red because of the scratch on the reverse under the "uri".

So this actually got a........... unc details altered surface

Yeah...that's a ripoff. Coin looks solid 66 or better.

This coin was lacquered

Spencer, did you know it was lacquered? Will a Acetone soak remove it or will that cause more damage?

Chasing your tail. Accept the disappointment and move on.

Ed..
No i didnt know the coin was lacquered, it looked different but i couldnt put a finger on it. I do think acetone will remove it.. since its worthless like that, i may try it.. also may just keep it as a learning curve, which is most likely..

Thogey,
I think ed is asking a mere question as a piece of learning advice.. so not sure what you meant by that

Its just Thogey's philosophy of not fretting over the past, many hours in desert sun have turned him into a mystic

If it were me, I'd just keep it as is rather than tinker with it. Might be worthless as far as the market is concerned, but it's still a beautiful coin.

I had a 3 cent nickel I purchased during my scrap gold buying days. It was Nice..... MS nice.
Submitted to PCGS....comes back MS details spots removed. (details graded) yuck.
Cracked the coin out of the holder. Acetone bath for 2 days. Resubmitted to PCGS.....then MS-64 straight grade.
Sold for a handsome profit.

Moral of the story: if the grade does not fit you must resubmit.

^^^^ I don't know why you guys don't do that every minute of every day!!!!

Just saying that the umpire made a call. Your soul will do better if you accept your judgement and move FORWARD.

Exactly. Live learn and move on

Soak that SOB in acetone, try it again if you want. We all will be rooting for you, that is for sure.

Just sayin, if the reject comes, squeeze out a smile and move on. Forward

No offence ed. Be sure I had no intention of stomping on you in any way. Bill was right, live now and move on.

it's still a great coin.
