Incidentally, I once had CAC reject an MS65 Barber Half, and an AU53 classic gold half eagle... so I sent them off for regrade at PCGS where they...
Seriously. Even the best regular submitters I know aren't batting 1000. I like Finn, and often agree with him, but he must've only submitted once...
How many have you sent? 2?
I see what you're saying, but I've dug myself many a hole doing just that, a few years ago. I doubt I'll even waste time with CAC. I'll let the...
Why?

Well, I'd be more upset if it sat in an AU58 holder....
Results are in. 1 out of 2 ain't bad. Not a waste of money, so that's good. [ATTACH]
I think VF20 is spot on. BUT they excused the light environmental damage. Great coin either way.
I love the look of XF and higher capped bust dimes. But they're SO EXPENSIVE!
Wait till you see the 1827 Overtons. The stuff of nightmares.
There are several different date positions for the Overton varieties of each date. This one looks real, just harshly cleaned.

Love it.
Nice look to it, but it appears bent. Does it wobble when you lay it on a flat surface?
67 doesn't make FB. Pretty!
