Sorry, I didn't mean to imply any negativity about the NGC site. That was also my first site, and still what I would consider the primary place I...
I am on the NGC forum, but the World Coin section there is basically dead. It is a good location to ask US Coin questions or NGC specific...

Firstly rev1774, VERY NICE purchase. To be able to buy a coin with a mintage of less than 12,000 for $90 is a great deal (in my opinion). I love...
The labeling and hologram look legit to me. When the presidential dollars were released NGC started using the EdgeView for that coin alone,...
