Typically when you see parallel lines on a coin that stop at the design elements, they are usually die scratches/die polish lines, but these...
Given that it is a 1958, I would lean towards NT, those double mint set created some wild color schemes.
And the set is now complete! [IMG] [IMG]
I think this coin is pretty obviously a 43/2-P. The pitfall with this variety is the die spike mimic, but your coin points to the inner curve of...
So do I, especially on Rosies and Franklins, but I prefer toning that looks natural as opposed to the coins in this thread which is best case...
The reason they don't like them is because the toning is artificial. There are plenty of collectors who will say that they don't care whether...
The guy wanted the RPM, I even offered to substitute a gem grade 45-D as a replacement. It boggles my mind as the entire set was problem coins...
There are NGC sets that are better than some of those in the PCGS Registry, but you can't see them because PCGS doesn't allow NGC coins in their...
I'm not interested in making NGC the top service, on the contrary, I just want them to hold their spot. For lack of a better analogy, I don't...

They stopped doing that, in order to be eligible any monetary award, your set must be comprised of at least 75% NGC graded coins. My contention...
This has nothing to do with their customer service attitude, its about protecting their company. As long as the registry system is structured as...
Sure they can, nobody reads those releases much less remembers them years later. Do you think that the people who have mostly NGC coins are happy...
No, maintaining the strength of their company versus their competition is paramount. Without reciprocity from PCGS, they absolutely should not...
That is an easy enough fix, don't give the point bonus unless the coin is NGC plastic. Personally, I have never understood NGC's decision to...
Yep, $25 down the TPG drain!!!!
NO, this coin is toast. I bought a gem grade Jefferson album which somebody raided for the war nickels and replaced with chemically cleaned PVC...
Well, it doesn't affect my series because CAC doesn't certify Jefferson Nickel business strikes, but I actually like this move, especially for the...
