Body Bag - Artificial toning.

This thing looks like it had some environmental damaged and then probably cleaned and retoned artificially. Just going by the pics.

I'm thinking MS70 myself... but I'm thinking soaked not just dipped!

Original pics are the sellers, took a chance on it i think it was around sixteen dollars. sent it in with my free susmission coupon. turned out well!

[Schatzy]

Wow...that made it into a slab!!

[MAULEMALL]

Wow,,, There is gonna be some whineing around here soon enough....

 

 

Congrats Jason.... Lovely coin.

Looks to me like the first picture was played with in order to make it appear more blue compared to the last set.

ms70 is not the only thing that causes blue. e-z-est also turns coins blue

Apairently a lot of these were Laquered and these were actually blue under the laquer and a soak in acitone will remove the laquer and the blue will Shine right through...

 

At least That is what I remember Mr Snow posting as an explanation when he was press ATS...

[WoodenJefferson]

Pretty obvious the sellers images were concentrated in grape juice...yours are of a IHC that would have readily slabbed at any service.

 

They are gambles when you buy from pictures alone, but for something under a $20 bill it's worth a chance sometimes...this time you won.

Is it just my eyes but who here is able to read the grade on the new NGC holder, so can someone enlighten me as to the grade?

And yes the first photo is very deceptive in the blue coloring of the IHC where as the color in the ngc slab is much more toned down and digestable. If the last photo was shown first I don't believe anybody here would have barked. Any way great pickup from such a terrible photo, but I have taken the same gamble recently and will be sending mine in for grading next week, i should be so fortunate!

If you click the picture it will enlarges the coin. It graded MS64 BN!!

That's a lot better than the 65, 66 and 67 grades these used to get.

[Coindude]

No matter, I'm in the camp of guys who think the first photo was juiced to make it look more blue/purple than it really was. I like the color in the slab photos, but I would have still put it as a toss up as to whether it would have slabbed or not.

You're thinking of the proofs, not MS examples. MS examples were always limited to the lower MS grades. The proofs still get those lofty 65-67 grades.

[kryptonitecomics]

The full slab pics make the coin look fairly legit and it didn't suprise me it graded based on thos phtot's.....the first set of images looked like BB central ..congrats!

[relicsncoins]

Consider yourself lucky.........This coin bagged last year at NGC for questionable color.

 

[Coindude]

Sounds like time to resubmit that sucker!

You're right. Thanks for the clarification.
