Coincidentally, I just bought one, a PCGS/CAC MS65FH: [IMG]
I'm just not seeing what you are. We evaluate coins very differently - you look at the little things, whereas I look at the big picture. And the...
You assume correctly.
For almost all buyers, at a certain point, a coin is too heavily toned to be desirable. Different people have different preferences and draw the...
If I had to go with one specific grade guess, it would be MS63. I do not share Doug's concern regarding authenticity, however - it looks genuine...
