Just checked eBay and the currently have 58 auctions up that are still /again pirating Whitman/QDB's copyrighted work. That just seams like an...
i agree there are too many marks to be a 65, but I also think it is lightly circulated. It is the best coin in the group that you bought, but...
I recommend sending it to aTPG for authentication/grading. It is quite rare and will bring a way better price if slabbed.
This is mostly false. while some people are never happy, good customer support will solve the vast majority of problems. I currently have 8698...
First of all, it's not a die crack, it is a die scratch, but even if it was a crack I doubt it would be a record. There are numerous bust coins...

what madspec said! The Dansco 7070 album is a very nice album for a 19th and 20th century type set. It doesn't have holes for the 18th century...
