Mike, How much closer do you want me to get to the toned coin market. You state that the problem is far worse than most people think but don't...
I don't see this great rise in doctored AT coins flooding the market. What I see are mostly easily indentifiable AT crap by novices working with...

My first impression was AU53 because of the remaining luster, but when you stated that we would be surprised by the grade I thought PCGS called it...
