Show us the other side! (of the slab - there are some pretty important differences on the reverse)
Here's the simple explanation: Bulk submitters (that is, they submit over 100 examples) can specify a "minimum grade." Usually, that is 69 or 70....
It does not appear to match any of the known varieties: http://varietyvista.com/09b%20WQ%20Vol%202/RPMs%201962-D.htm
The bottom one looks like it has a shield on the left picture (obverse?). Shields and heraldry are usually not on Arabic coins.... but I have no...
It has the details of an AU coin, but I'm not seeing much luster here. I would want to see some traces of luster to call it AU. Is that a scratch...
I personally usually use "dentils," but the terms are essentially interchangeable.
Woah. While this coin may be very nice for the series (and yeah, I follow the series enough to know that this is a very nice piaster), on an...
Woof. I don't know who hit the contrast button on that picture, but that's what I'd call "juiced." Even the so-called TruView is a better picture...
I'm sorry, but I find that peso distinctly unattractive. I have a hard time calling it anything higher than a 2, and that's only because there...
Haha, that was a great story. I love those sorts of stories about the thrill of the hunt, the circumstances, the people, the show. That's the sort...

I think the angle of the lighting in the first shots over-emphasized some of the marks on the reverse. (To be fair, I'm guessing the PCGS "true...
Oops, missed the mintmark on the OPs. Pictures are too small! While I agree that there is a difference in the character of the luster, the OP's...
If you compare it to a real one, I don't think it looks right. I'd avoid it:...
Wow, super clean obverse and sharp, crisp strike for the date. No questions asked FBL at PCGS, probably not at NGC. Luster appears off the...
You're right. I wasn't thinking. I've removed my post.
Well, my favorite coin book for beginners is the one I wrote myself. And, I'll let someone else link it so I don't get in trouble. Or... you...
Ah, I'm considered one 'o those rich-folk enemies, so I didn't get one.
Its a heckuvalot easier to keep track of us when we use our cards..... hence the coin shortage, greeno. No goobering here.
Edited. I shouldn't have posted this.
