Fake, and not a very good one - even with bad pictures.
I think it is better than an F-12. I think it compares favorably with the VF-20's I'm seeing on Heritage. I would say F-15, but that is a pretty...
Show us your results when you get around to doing it :)
Your nasty plastic flip was probably made from PVC plastic and that's probably some PVC residue on that coin. Now, PVC won't harm gold, but I...
People with bad intent sometimes plated the quarters with silver, chrome, sometimes even gold or platinum and then tried to sell them at...
I feel like TradeDollarNut used to have a website full of useful information about that sort of stuff, but I can't find it. He'd be the best...
Were you looking specifically for this number, or was it just a happy accident? I don't really do much with paper money, but it seems like...

Classic look. Love the die polish lines. The PL on these 40's era San Fran coins is really hard to capture sometimes. Here are a couple of mine,...
I like it at 55, but this has a decent shot at 58.
Wow. That NGC thread in particular was a blast from the past. I remember a lot of those dudes fondly.... and several of them are now deceased....

As far as I know, error slabs of this nature don't have a premium. They are quite common, and quite easy to fix if you just let the TPG know....
