I bought an early $5 gold coin once with a one month return privalege. I ran it through NGC on the express tier and got it back in the required...
Thanks. In order of coin damage I suppose it is up there with "tooled". I had PCGS call a gold coin that, but NGC called it cleaned. So you...

I have bought two of these recently--one a Bust Half that otherwise looks fully BU, and a Seated dime, that also looks BU. Subsequently, more...
