Congrats on finishing a challenging album!
Nice; glad to see forum members helping each other!

I'll go with your opinion on the grade. I've only graded one coin 4 times (nicely toned Franklin) and there were 3 different grades out of those...
I was on the right track with my thinking on coin #10 per one of the people that bid on it (he posted the below comment on the PCGS forum). [ATTACH]

I wonder what is the most “ridiculous” example out there? It might make an interesting thread to see some of the bizarre themes on these coins...

I was inspired by your initial box of 20 years ago to do my own. It is difficult to stick to that number and I'm also closer to an eclectic...
There is plenty of NCLT out there with all sorts of designs. Some don't like it but I don't mind. It gives more options for collectors-including...
