The serif on your Coin is clearly truncated, even in the blurry photos. Well done. Check the other indicators, but I say you've got the real...
There are other telltale signs. See if this helps, I made as long ago from a coin I cherry picked....
This thread is beyond my understanding, but I will tell you, I am sure enjoying it. You authentication guys are like Sherlock. :pompous: I...
List has been updated to remove the shops that no longer exist, thanks @Okidoki . If anyone has links to add, please reply to this thread or...
I would mostly agree with this. Like anything, if someones dumb luck is off the charts, you could conceivably "time" things just right and get...
Ike predictions panned out.

Thanks, I will ask Doug @GDJMSP to unlock for me so I can update the list.

I would be curious to learn what ended up happening with the OP and PCGS. If they made things right, assuming they had evidence the coins were...
Unfortunate scratches on that proof. I would return them if you can, and buy a TPG (PCGS or NGC) graded example in the grade you can afford, or...

Cleaned and polished. That is like a textbook example of a highly messed with coin.
To me that OP coin is not a 70. 69 is what I would say, for more than one reason. People went nuts with the money! :confused: I also...
I was AU53. I was thinking TPG was AU55. AU58 is just...not correct. :hungover: I like the coin, and many of the others shown in this...
