I agree, very tough to capture. A very small coin with a lot of relief. [img] Avoiding hot spots on uncirculated examples is almost...
I agree that the Dansco albums seem to be a better quality album especially when accompanied by a slip cover. However, the toning resistance...
I think this coin is a no brainer at MS66 from both TPG's as long as the luster is above average. It has a decent shot at MS67 from NGC because...
There are no doubled dies for the 1941-D but in case you were asking in general.
It was in the PCI holder first and I am relatively sure that the seller in this thread sold it at one time.
I own this one, I paid $35 for it. [img] And Chris, I wouldn't let PCGS off the hook quite yet. They have a history of certifying...
Perhaps a few words from the horses mouth would help settle things. Two years ago, I responded to a thread on the NGC forum in which I basically...

It is important to make the distinction between grading services. Bone Head is right that the coin will not go above MS66 for PCGS. However, I...
When I got back into coins in the late 90's, I used to send modern stuff to PCGS for grading. I think my last submission to PCGS marks my...
The coin is very clean but well stuck, I don't think so. The steps are not even close to complete, the overall look of Monticello is mushy, the...
Oh yes they are! They are part of my NGC Registry Signature Set: Rainbow Wars Part 1 (A Battle of the Pedigrees)
Maybe you need more variety! [img] [img] [img] [img] Battle Creek baby!
Time to bump this thread with a great Jefferson. [img] [img] Population 5/5 and all 5 better are MS65. The rarest of all Jefferson Varieties.
This thread desperately needs some BC, BATTLE CREEKS---OH YEAH! [img] [img]
My top 5 are as follows: 1) 2000 Leif Ericson: A powerful design, fantastic font, and very well spaced. The Viking ship blows me away. It...
