The coin at 5:55 in the video is a very natural looking Lincoln that is just a beautiful coin. I have quite a few unmolested cents from the same...
Agreed. Sure makes it seem like someone collected together all their marginal coins just to see what would happen. Which is what @Pickin and...
Here’s a little something for both of you. Merry Christmas! [ATTACH]
If I were King and started a new grading service, my two main areas of concern would be The AU/MS problem. Treat wear like any other flaw, but...

I’ve got to try the 45 degree setup. Mine is nearly axial but I am not getting the luster I want in some cases.
New photos after removing from mint packaging. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Grading is a funny thing. I understand the principles, but rarely how they are applied to a specific coin. This is one of the 12 NGC MS67’s, and...
