The original Hallmark was founded by QDB, and the grading was fairly accurate. This slab looks like it's from a seperate grading company altogether.

 

Do you get a free Card with that "Hallmark" coin?


"You just bought this coin
It is plain to see
But it's XF 45
Not MS-63"

 

XF Details-Cleaned

 

This is from the "New Halllmark" grading company...QDB has nothing to do with this one.

Seeker,
Maybe you should have put a smile at the end of your post I think that one went over Speedy head

 

VF/XF details, cleaned, net F. To me, worth about $75.

 

You got it!

 

Where do they get MS 63? Normally I thought there grading was pretty acurate. Could the slab have been broken open and the coin switched and the slab glued? Just a thought. I've heard of that happening. Probably wrong.

Wow....definitely a cleaned XF coin! They have the awesome slab sealing sticker that SGS used to have on their holders!!!

 

Gee, I wish that I had thought of that!
Thanks for the laugh.
