Yeah I'd ask for a free reholder. It would bother me too.
Have you posted about this on the NGC forum? They won’t ban you like PCGS would.
All the same but different. In 1900, there were three obverse hub types and two reverse types. I/II [ATTACH] I/III [ATTACH] II/III [ATTACH]...
I looked that up too and it made me chuckle. This coin meets their rigorous market standards, as opposed to all the other 1652 NE threepence to...
Quite a swing in value there. You can't always believe what the TPG says. I looked up the variety and examined the NGC image, and it is a DDO,...
And like craps, you always hear about how much someone won and almost never about how much they lost. People who crapped out on FunBox - post your...
Don't forget he also did the Liberty Head nickels. Barber also did the obverse on this one (Morgan did the reverse). [ATTACH]30+ medals,...

PM me if you'd like a copy of my article, anyone else as well. (Or join BCCS!) I think it's an interesting story. I tracked the transition anomaly...
