Please do. :)
Too much chatter, particularly on the reverse, to grade higher, IMO.
First off, that's a Type 1. Good luck finding that type of strike on a SLQ not dated 1917. Second, the reverse of that coin is NOT struck up....
XF details, cleaned, net VF. Worth a few bucks, but not much. Still a cool coin, and a good (and cheap) learning experience that would look nice...
Cool find, wheatman! I think with the tough economy, lots of proof (and old) coins will be seeing circulation.
I would guess that either TPG would grade the coin MS 63. As for the photos... They look to be relatively sharp and the color balance looks...
Neat coin, and probably the toughest of all the nickel types. Congrats.
That's an assumption I'm not willing to make. In short, I would not find it hard to believe there are lots of these rolls sitting in closets or...
If you believe the grading process is impartial and free of inside/outside influence, I don't see how the issues are any different. However, as...
OK, so suppose the coin is fairly graded and you make an offer. How is this any different than the TPG making the offer (presuming the one making...

First off, I don't believe for a second that these are the only original AZ gathered WI quarter rolls. Second, there's quite a difference in...
Taking this thought another step... Hypothetically speaking, if I send you a coin, Mark, to send to the TPGs, would it be wrong for you to make...
Now that's an angle I didn't think of.... Hmmm....
And you are certainly entitled to it -- I was just wondering how you got to that conclusion....because I just don't see it. I'm sorry, but...
Try and sell a MPL to anyone other than the few dealers promoting them or the handful of rabid registry collectors, and I have a feeling that the...
p.s. to answer your original question directly, I would search the rolls myself.
That's a big IF. Personally, I think capitalizing on the "unsearched roll" craze borders on unethical, but then again, everyone should be held...
That's a 400% markup! The Horror! ;)
I must be mellowing out in my old age. That's the first time I can recall ever being referred to as not blunt enough. ;) :)
