    An eBay coin . . . it has an old scratch on Liberty's head which I thought was a streak of toning when I bid. As nice a coin as it is, especially for a better date, it won't certify with the big 3, so I must decide whether to keep it or return it.

    Best photos I could get through the 2x2 holder.

    1945 WLH. Look for well struck obverses when buying this year and mint.

    Won this last night. Overpaid for toning, but I really wanted a "clad" Kennedy example for my type set.

    I don't love the "red dot" on the coin, reminds me of the Seinfeld episode. But I think the super high rez pics probably exaggerates it a bit. We'll see once I get it in hand.

    I replaced this 1918-D (ANACS MS61)

    01c 1918-D #01 full 05.jpg

    with this ungraded one.

    01c 1918-D #02 full 01.gif

    Here are some detailed still images.
    01c 1918-D #02 obverse 05.JPG
    01c 1918-D #02 reverse 05.JPG

    ANACS graded the original at MS61. There is a nearly identical strike on the NGC Registry that graded MS65. I still can't account for the 4 grade difference.

    The new one is a far better coin on both sides, so I'm very happy with it.

    Big 3? If CACG is number 3… they even put green „beans“ on problem coins ;-)

    I’d forgotten that. Thanks for the reminder.

    I don’t care for their thick holders, so I won’t be using them for my normal submissions, but I’ll think about it in this particular case.

    The thick holders are a problem. They don't fit in my PCGS black slab boxes or my gray NGC slab boxes, both of which I have plenty of. CACG has not released their own slab box yet, but I have heard rumors they will (soon?). I wonder what they ship large grading orders back in, just cardboard?

    The newest PCGS holders are also thicker and lighter than they used to be, both of which I dislike, so PCGS is causing me issues too.

    I sorta bought this by mistake, but it was inexpensive.

    I was looking for a better 1925-D than this one (see post #6242 for more photos).
    01c 1925-D #02 full 01.gif

    I entered a bid on this, about 1/2 second before I saw the spot above the date.

    Full resolution photos:
    01c 1925-D #03 obverse 05.JPG
    01c 1925-D #03 reverse 05.JPG

    These are hard to find in better condition due to weak strikes throughout the year. Now I need to choose which one I like better.

    I really like the reverse on the top one. The spot on your new one doesn’t look destructive but it’s such an eye sore where it’s located. Overall your first one may be the nicer of the two. Such a tough year. Finding one with eye appeal is even tougher than finding one with a good strike.
