MS 66 RED

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

I'll go with MS-65 red because of the scratch on the reverse under the "uri".
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

Please note that ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- sometimes substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) as well.

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. :thumbup:
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

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 :P

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.

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

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. :thumbup:
