I personally prefer ICG over ANACS. I've been comparing mint-state grades of various coins certified by both grading houses, and I've noticed that...
Just looks like a bad case of die erosion. The coin was struck with heavily worn dies and circulated a bit. Add the two factors together, and you...
That's a neat one, Lance! :thumb: Did you happen to purchase it off of David Kahn? I remember seeing something similar in his inventory a week or...
I'm assuming this is a sarcastic comment, but if not... Did I miss something? :scratch: -Brian
64 is what I expect, but for some reason, 65 wouldn't surprise me. I think some of the marks all of the other members are seeing are only the...

Yes, I am. Be employed part-time at a newly-established coin shop, the owner felt it was necessary to sign me up. My response - "Heck,...

Impressive examinating, pumpkinpie!... But you missed one thing - note the space between the barcode and serial number on the front of the label...
"Erotic"? Like a design of a bird on a coin is turning you on? That ain't creepy one bit........................... :whistle: -Brian
Haha, thanks, Lance. :D I try my best to protect the community from junk like this. It pains me to see it occur more often, but what control do I...
