So if I've understood things, the FG has serifs rare 1988 variety? [img] The one on the right is the rare (1989) variety when found on a 1988?
Fret, Thanks for the update & glad it worked out for you. :) Say what you will about their standards, PCGS makes things right in situations like...
I have no idea. Can someone post a photo or attribution?
p.s. from the photos (and it certainly may be the photo), the coin's surfaces look suspect to me (?polished and retoned?).

I bought multiple pieces of raw gold on eBay. :eek: It turned out all right. One slabbed 63, another 65, and one that I paid melt for was...
For those of you who belittle this series: Do you think coin collectors of the 1870's said the same thing about trade dollars? How did that work...
PVC damage in a slab? I've not heard of that before, but it doesn't surprise me. Modern proof coins are some of the best candidates for quick...
This coin exhibits a toning pattern you will often see called "woodgrain" or a "woodie", Woodgrain toning is very common on IHC's and early...
