Nice coin, Lance. :)
It is to be expected these coins have made their way into other areas. It's been, what, a few years since their discovery. Feel bad for the...
"Sheesh, I have to stop buying based on crap pictures" I concur.
I think that's a bit of gradeflation added to market grading, Conder.
The thing that jumped out at me was the two large hits in the upper part of the hair on the obverse. Looks more like PMD to me, but I have...
Airtight bags, intercept shield boxes, and dessicant -- along with coins -- all live in my SDB.
I think NPCoins perspective is a good one. For instance, the EAC has been market grading coins for longer than the ANA, IMO. They didn't call it...
Buy direct from the Mint. Either that or cherrypick high end top-pop minus 1 coins -- but that takes lots of skill and experience which you may...

:cheers: Classic. :cheers:
I think the move is a good one. I think moving to an earlier series is generally a good move, and it is the natural progression of most...

Not a fan of TT for toners. Their pics suck which limit upside on nice toners. If I were you, I would consign the coins to a Heritage auction at...
The photos appear to be scans, and as such I would suspect the coin isn't nearly as dark in hand.
Oh weak strike, how hard you are to grade sometimes. People confuse you for nicks and wear and all kinds of terrible things. I think PCGS looked...
Tough one to call. Answer the age old question: Were the milk spots and slight carbon there before slabbing or not? I'll guess yes, and grade...
Congrats on the 67, Mike! :)
AU and I see no obvious signs of cleaning.
