That looks familiar. So are you pleased?
The front lines up with the reverse. I'd say that makes the odds that it is a woody, but I cannot tell for sure from those pictures.
MS64
I see. It is a signature, but not a signature confirmation. Not sure what they do with it though.
That looks like someone coated it with something that the acetone removed. I like the result.
Yes they will - if you catch them right. However, you best call to make sure on the timing and DO NOT pay separately.
The way I read it, signature is not required even for $5000 insurance. Insurance http://postcalc.usps.com/PopUps/Insurance.htm
Nice woody, Too bad about the corrosion.
It was nearly 2 years ago they upped it from $250 (I believe). It is now $750, but they recommend it for $250+....

The one PCGS pictures has spots, nicks and some luster breaks. Aside from the fact the PCGS example is red, what makes it look better?
That would definitely be my guess. BTW, at least for silver coins, acetone will do no harm provided you use pure acetone. If in doubt, soak it....
If you want the technical answer, it is none of the above. PVC is actually perfectly safe, but it is brittle. In order to make it more pliable,...
Once the PVC gets on the coin, it will continue eating the coin until the PVC is physically removed from the surfaces of the coin.
Look at the bust. DP4 has the coat touching the rim for a good section. This one does not. DP1 has a die crack from the L just like this one...
If you don't want opinions, don't ask for them!
MS69 or SP69. Sometimes they call them SP and sometimes MS.
You are far from the only and undoubtedly not nearly the last.
PVC DAMAGE will not be corrected with acetone. Acetone will remove the PVC and keep it from further damage, but once the coin is damaged, it will...
Just guessing, I don't think it does have descent luster, but it is a guess. Those pictures do not lend themselves to showing luster.
