I've had to up my game! :) Irish and Duke and ldbair (and, frankly, lots of folks) are very good graders indeed.
p.s. looking at the photo again, the obverse is a bit chattery -- as struck or otherwise.
That's just it. Those recently polished dies with their slightly prooflike look also slightly mutes the luster. Said a bit differently, the...
Very nice coin, Charmy. Congrats! Larry had a nice AU 63 at the show too. It was in an old PCI holder if memory serves, and he had had it for...
I should probably check the pops to be safe, but that coin sure looks like a 67 to me, so that's what I graded it.

Teletrade is way worse that eBay, IMO. So bad is the venue (and the coins amongst my collecting area) that I haven't bid on a coin in years. On...
I'm in the "no" camp. As Paul mentioned above, coins in this grade typically still have a quite-visible mintmark.
Do you really think they are any more consistent with classic coins? I don't.
That last hobo gives me the willies! :eek:
The owner is mistaken as to its contents? You like surprises? 1992 adds up to 21 and you're a blackjack player with a coin problem? It's...

This is very sound advice.
