I'll give ya a hint... I'm only 3 hours from Dallas :D
Very nice ! :thumb: Common date ? Sure, but like you say - it's a great match for a type set. Does it have cartwheel luster ? Hard to tell...
But your concern was that this is unfair. I disagree. Allegedly, some countries can't ship coins here. Whether that's true or not is irrelevant....

I'm pretty sure we're on the same page, Mike. My apologies for making my point in a confusing manner. My point was this : all coins, slabbed...
Make sure you're not comparing apples to oranges. When you say "in the same grade", be careful. With the US series, raw coins have a much worse...

It's in Mexico... that makes it even better ! Lessee now... valuable coin, uncertified, foreign seller, E-Bay. This coin is a great hole...
The skiing is a lot better in Aurora, that's for sure. So is the whitewater.
Agreed. The green and pink clash. :eek: They simply do not go together.
That implies the possibility it was minted in India by someone other than the Royal Mint. For my edification, who might that be ?
The original post seemed to be concerned about the attribution of the piece, not the authenticity. Is that true ? If so, the focus has shifted....
The short answer is "much, much faster than PCGS" :D But seriously, folks... it depends on which tier of service. My experience is they...
A good dealer treats me the way they themselves want to be treated. They cooperate with my interest in learning. They know what I like and...
I was getting my check book out when I realized 'I'm not a billionaire'! :rolleyes:
