BTW, Toad, and looking at it again, that's a really a nice 'problem' coin. :)
Common sense isn't so common. Hey, wait a second....are we talking about pennies? :D
My suggestion -- get a Dansco and start collecting and learning to grade Jefferson Nickels. A great series with no stoppers (i.e. super expensive...
This man knows his Ikes.
Be very polite and ask to send it back. You WAY overpaid for that coin, IMO....Mike
I believe the PCGS "photo" is really a scan (from a scanner) and as such I'll wager $1 the luster is SIGNFICANTLY better than pictured....Mike...

p.s. by that same logic, wouldn't all grading be bad? hmmmm
Meh, see it for what it is. Use it if you see fit. I'm not sure any new "class" is being set over and above that which is already present in...
Which part? ;) I was asking myself that same question. But frankly, it looked BETTER than a 65 to me. :eek: But if I had to guess, I'd say...
Please don't quote me until I'm done with my post. How many times do I have to tell you people. :D Will look up those authors. Think...
