Their disclaimer has nothing to do with it. That disclaimer applies to everyone. I submitted to NGC for 10 years, and I visited their office in...

Maybe that is true for the low-end grading services, but for the top grading services, it is just a bunch of crap with no foundation of proof....
Both nickels appear to have die deterioration doubling. The giveaway to this is the parallel striations that point toward the rim. That a die...
