With all those references to ANA grading guides, it is very obvious. :) I've said this before, and I'll take the opportunity to say this again...
Nice coin (& good value at $10)!!! See, you can find nice, problem-free coins in this price range. :) You just have to be patient....Mike
I am glad you have come to this realization. I truly believe it will benefit you (and the rest of numismatics)....Mike
p.s. trade dollars, IMO, are one of the series that TPGs are very lenient on cleaning and other problems. The thought being that if they only...
