That’s PL???? Sorry, NGC dropped the ball on that one
That is MS-65 luster. The marks are consistent with 65. I voted 65
I bought them from a very reputable dealer who Aaron Berk fully trusts. Otherwise, I don’t see anything that would hint at nefariousness. There...
It has had a very old cleaning, but it still won’t grade problem-free
@Paddy54 may be able to help with that die crack on the reverse
These just arrived today. There is a prevalence of posthumous Constantine I issues and Constantius I types, but there are several interesting...
The 67+ is very objectively cleaner than the 67. I’m not referring to eye appeal, so don’t assume that I am. I said 66, along with the majority...

I haven’t bought much this year that was slab-worthy (mostly ancients), though I am building a PCGS submission right now with medievals/US. I...

I see a lot of these in 66 holders that look like this
I like this one at 66, but I voted 66+ due to the luster and clean fields. Not FS
Judging from my collection, probably ;)
Fortunately, the 1833 N-5 family was never supposed to be the hyper-fakes that get by the TPGs. Just like the 1818 B-10 quarters (shown below)....
Nope. Other way around
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of a fake and genuine 1833 N-5. Note the crispness of the stars, and the edge looks like it was struck with...
Separate names with a comma.
