It's a cool trunk, but I think it was produced quite a bit after the date on the side.
The images are mighty tough to interpret. It still has a cleaned, wiped or polished "feel" to me, though again the images are tough to figure out.
May I ask why you want your Presidential proof coins certified? You write that you are just entering the field so it isn't likely that you will...
Those aren't die polish lines, both sides of that coin have been scrubbed.
I would imagine that lower prices are a natural byproduct of higher supply, especially if that higher supply outpaces any growth in demand.
It isn't all that unusual for dealers or even collectors to parse the grading scale so that they use grades that aren't standard within the...

I realize that, but the comment I was writing about stated that it was "insane" to think the piece was not a genuine, as issued US Mint product....
There are at least two problems with the text I put in bold. The first is that the probability is so high against the piece being genuine as...
Of course you can submit the coin to NGC or PCGS. In fact, I think that is a much better idea than sending it to ANACS. Of course, I also agree...
It looks like a nice coin and worth about $12.
I wish you luck, but can tell you now that it is not a genuine, unaltered US Mint product. However, for $40-$50 you can find out by sending it to...
Oh, alright, twist my arm... [IMG] [IMG]
In my opinion it is worth less than the $3.95 written on the holder, but at least it has a baseline value of approximately $1.30 currently because...
