When was that? Online auction archives only go back about 10-12 years so of course you can make that claim since there is no way to prove or...
I think I would characterize the decision to allow for roll friction a "conscious" one but when I hear loosening of standards I think of a change...
Charmy, that is my wine that I drink at home, I love it. [IMG] One of these days, I'm gonna make it to a coin show and we are gonna hang out and...
I think the toning is market acceptable and I agree with Kirkuleez that the number of minor contact marks would put it in the MS63 grade. I would...
It is possible, and I think those toning spots are what precluded the coin from getting a star designation upon resubmission.
I plainly admit that the surfaces of my Jefferson Nickel are MS66. The coin was given a grade bump to MS67 because of an above average strike,...
