sidney Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 One of the few pieces in my hands with better pieces yet to be photographed. They are in its original brilliant conditions as on the day it rolled out from the mint. Just awesome.

sidney Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Another from my collection. You will find this piece with multiple crack recorded on the coin. I can only guess the mold minting this coin must have gone through a lot of press.

sidney Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hi Chin, Very nice coin. From the looks of it at a glance, it's an AU/UNC coin. The details are very sharp. Pity if it is harshly polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidney Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Wow! This is a 1920 "Dot" it's a rare coin and probably in XF condition. Looks harshly cleaned with scratches, but none the less as said, a rare coin. You should have the coin cleaned of the verdigris, preserved and slab by profession like NGC. Do have it done. Great coin. Where did you get from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great coin. Where did you get from? Dear Sidney, I acquire this collection from a retired collector which was introduce to me by another collector friend But all this coins are either stain with verdigris or they are cleaned and polished. Someday when I have time I intend to bring all my coins to Mavin in Singapore for them to have a look and let them decide those that can be graded.

Dear Sidney, Which grading you use NGC or PCGS? Do you courier direct to USA or do you go thru Singapore/ Hong Kong? and how long for PCGS/ NGC to return the coin after grading? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
