Even less than stellar sellers have not MADE the coins they sell, in most cases. Some merely don't have the detailed KNOWLEDGE that a serious experienced collector does. I'd put my knowledge up against the MAJORITY of coin dealers. Also my sick a-$-$ sense of humor. This hobby is supposed to be fun. But it's hard to keep it fun when so many charlatans haunt this hobby.

What do you think about this Coin VKurtB.... what grade you think it is..

To the OP:  In your Topic heading, you make reference to coins, plural.  What other coins do you have that you may have questions about that you wouldn't mind sharing?  You might not get the answers you were hoping for, but the information elicited may be of invaluable assistance to others.

  Its not a problem.... if most collectors are say AU.... also Cleaned, then most likely it was.. I also recently.. acquired an 1885 cc Morgan Silver dollar, another 1878 s Morgan, 1942 Walking liberty.. but thankfully the other three were not from the same Seller.

I would remove the coin from the 2x2 take a photo of both sides and repost it here. The members will give you there best honest opinion on the grade if the shots are acceptable to do that.

Good idea... here it is...

What you are experiencing is commonly called a visceral "what if" anticipatory retaliatory act.  You have nothing to fear, but fear ltself. I would submit the coin and allow it to stand alone on its own merits. (Incidentally, the lilac and gold toning, per se, are not grading considerations.) While difficult to tell, I see stronger attributes in your coin (strike, preservation) and eye appeal. Also, in the future, it's best when eliciting feedback to produce a photo depicting both sides, at a minimum.

Yes.. you have a strong point, I may be over thinking and analyzing a bit. Maybe I should just send them in.. and see the outcome, I felt this was necessary, in order to prove my point,  because this has also happened to a friend of mine, and I feel the grading can be one sided and most have their own opinions on Coin grading.

Your coin is not on par with the other, it's missing a lot of the detail in the cap, hair, and most of the stars. It also has a weird look to it, may be it's the photo, maybe cleaned, maybe fake, possibly both. I would be skeptical as well. Of the coin.

Lol.. the coin in the heartland collection is missing way more detail in the coin, The Eagles feathers are not detailed and crisp.. missing letters in pluribus Unum, My coin has all detail.. the Stars, and cap are fully detailed... it's the way I was holding the coin. Not cleaned... I purchased this Coin from a trusted collector with thousands of trusted buyers. 

Well I have an 1835 bust half dollar, it's in MS Condition, it's a beautiful coin.. but I have become very skeptical about sending my coins in for grading to NGC... and here is an example why.. and the problem I have.. is this Coin right here... from the heartland collection, it's an 1835 bust half dollar.. November 30, 2004, Lot 1398. 'Lilac and gold toning  this Coin was graded a MS 66....  Now here is my coin... My Coin is in way better MS Condition.. this Coin is a MS 66... so this is the problem I have right now.. so if I send this in.. and they grade my Coin lower than this Coin... you see the problem I'm having my friends.
