Those prices are absurdly high - you basically paid MS64 prices for MS63 coins which are not particularly rare. And, as has also already been...
Contrary to what you have stated, your coin was NOT sent back to you for, as you put it "unattractive fields which was stated the toning of the...
You talked about a grade of VG due to its unattractiveness - that is mostly what we have been debating. Now you're talking about a no-grade due to...
I'm sure they didn't refuse to grade it simply because it was "unattractive" - they do not use that as a reason not to grade a coin. It must have...
I don't know what that has to do with what I wrote, and I'm not sure what your question was. Please look at what you wrote and you should see why....

The toning is wilder in person, but remember, this was merely a $200 one, not a $2000 one.;)
I find that "much higher than 1%" figure incredible, and in fact, unbelievable - sorry.
Regardless of how terrible that is, it doesn't begin to show/prove that it's safer, statistically, to keep valuables in your home than it is in a...
There is absolutely no way to provide a meaningful grade opinion for that coin based on those images. We have no idea how heavily (or lightly)...
If I could inspect it in hand and determine it didn't have a removed mint-mark, I'd gladly pay $250 for it. But the bottom line is that if it's a...
