Very interesting. What are the signs of cleaning and pressing? Thanks


Like I said without the note in front of you its hard to be 100% certain, but several tales. Note did circulate based on the folds. Its very very white, no soiling which doesn't match the 3-5 folds.

Also notes that are washed pressed have this artificial white look. In reality it could also be a super clean note, but the folds make me sceptical.

The below was washed and pressed, but I was unable to tell until I got in my hands. It was listed as AU, but is XF45 at the best.

NGC and PCGS are backed up. Some submissions are taking 30-45 days. I've had stuff graded in 10 days and as long as 45 days.

Its hard grading from Pictures, but I see at least 3 folds. There could be as many as 5. Based on what I see I would say VF35.

The note may also have been pressed/washed which would take away the EPQ/PPQ. It looks too bright to not have been pressed at one point.

Visually its a pretty note.

Guys, you known its a fake. If you don't you shouldn't be in this hobby. I would just let it go. Ebay isn't going to do anything.

But its the same coin? Why would one pay more just because it has a CAC?

Hfjacinto's Slabbed Dansco 7070 With Gold Page

I've been trying to complete the $1 gold series for a few months, a couple of days ago I was able to get the Type 2 which let me complete a few things.

First off my box of slabbed gold is filled. Is this a good thing or bad thing?



Of the 3 types, the Type 2 is the hardest to find with a decent strike, coupled with only being a 3 year issue. These are the hardest to get, but still readily available.




After looking back, I realized I never posted the type 3, so here you go.




And the 3 types together.

Personal Dilemma- Scuffed ICG Slab 1948 Franklin MS63 FBL

Greysheet doesn't even list a value for MS 63 FBL. The closet is MS 64 FBL at $50, the MS63 coin is $23.

Neither of these are lofty values, so do what makes sense to you. Personally I don't pay for slabs so I would be looking at around greysheet ($23) to buy this coin, (please note I don't collect this series, so take that into consideration). The value on these only gets high after MS66 FBL.

Edited to add:
ICG is a reputable TPG but since they along with ANACS don't have a Registry set, there usually isn't much added premium for a coin in an ICG slab.

A Circulated Set Of Flying Eagle And Indian Head Cents In A Dansco

My circulated set of Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents used to be housed in a Littleton binder While I liked the quality of the binder, it had 2 major issues. First was that it was very thick with a lot of empty space. The second was that the pages had these metal grommets which would stick and make flipping pages really hard. And while I liked the Dansco Albums, there was a lot of space at the end that I wasn't certain what to put in, but due to this thread http://goccf.com/t/467882

I finally decided to move all the FE and IHC to a new Dansco. And I had an Idea what do at the end with the empty spaces. So here is the updated Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cent Album.

Hokie,

I always thought these were more like savings bonds rather than actual currency. It's pretty cool to have one of these as $20 was a lot of money back then.
