I can tell you now that I am fairly certain PCGS will not designate the filled S as it would more than likely be considered to minor an error,...
ICCS does canadian stuff. IMO they are quite consistent, and their stuff typically will cross at the same or higher grade at the major TPGS.
I would call that coin a vg-10. Liberty in the headband is nearly full, but not quite, the rims are well formed, and not worn too much. I think...
Goldcoinlover, I believe the reason more people did not bid on your item was due to your lack of feedback. Unfortunately for the honest folks on...
