I rarely buy coins for my collection anymore, but when I can get a registry quality coin for less than submission costs, I don't pass it up....
Where is @JCro57 ? He wrote the book on it. My copy is packed away, can't get to it.
Oh no, I fully intend to take this up with someone at NGC. I have already cancelled my membership, and haven't submitted a coin since I got this...
Now that the cat is out of the bag, I would like to delve further into what the NGC graders were thinking. I think the only area that could be...

I need to photograph it before the reveal, I will pick it up later this week. He's being cheeky with you, he's my brother and he submitted it...
In Dante Alighieri's version of hell, Charon ferries the dead from Limbo across the river Acheron to the first level of hell. The river Styx was...
It looks like die deterioration to me, combined with circulation wear. Here is an extreme example of die deterioration on an uncirculated coin....
