Nahhh - it's just that neither one wants him :D 1,358 I'm gettin there Ken, slow but sure, but I'm gettin there :D
It's pretty common actually, typically due to a change in lighting, whether intentional or unintentional. A lot of folks simply don't realize it,...
Me too, way more than a few. But the simple fact that you asked the question you did proves to me you're not ;)
For what it's worth - I like it ! And in my opinion the coin is correctly graded as it is. And, being in that slab there are more than a few...
Typically, when it's a mix like that, the TPGs "pretend" they're all die polish lines and straight grade them. But all that does is fool those who...
