One if not the best av. coat I have w/ nearly 75% coverage, heavier in the green ribbons but for the type a very wide dispersal, if I remember right this one is 27/32nds Natural light Artificial light

Man you got a lotta nice boards & handmade sets Dave, killer

I see some killers on the way Brother

Not polished IMO some great mibs. The unfinished (rough) pontils are in indicative of marbles from the late Victorian era i.e. 1870- 1910 or there about's. Faceting (not seen here) is an indicator of some of the earlier Handmade production i.e. 1850 - 1870

The last 3 pix look good to me, I see intact pontils, and makers marks, looks like 3 great Joseph coats. Many of the ones' I have look like they were made yesterday and have no damage. Some better lighting would really help request better lit pix from the seller to check for any evidence of polishing. If they're not polished the price is excellent !! From what I can see they aren't polished just in great shape IMO but better pix may prove differently ?? You do have to side on the better half of caution, a good hand buffing and polishing job will go around the pontils to make it appear untouched. I wish I had them in hand !! A polishing machine will smooth out all those imperfections you see and obliterate the pontils, if anything @ all they were hand buffed, but even the finest jewelers rouge will still leave little concentric scratches under mag.

Here's the original listing for a possible better look @ the mibs LINK : https://www.ebay.com/itm/354099156619?nma=true&si=UJ2TqH8nbS7yE3oz2%2FXvN4Riocg%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=
