I won't disagree with that. :) For those of you who haven't figured it out yet, NGC graded the coin XF 45. I'm with GDJMSP that the coin is a...
Congrats on the new purchases!
PCGS graded the coin MS 64. The coin is a bit darker, particularly near the edges, than the photos suggest. THat said, unlike many darkly...
Does the first one on the list look familiar? :confused: ;) :smile
I use a Zeico, but I think you will find little difference between brands, provided you get one with a small bulb...Mike
