So, are you telling me that ICG does NOT have an industrial XRF scanner? If that's true, I am kind of shocked by that being a TPG.

Actually, you should ALWAYS show a full shot of both sides in addition to closeups. I don't ever participate in these unless they are shown.

What matters isn't what type of damage it is, but that it isn't a Mint error.
This one is no good either... Any devise or object that can leave coin designs - backwards or proper-facing - on a planchet (unstruck coin) or a...
