Yes, I'm aware of NNC. I always had the impression that NTC was similar. I guess I might be wrong.... but I haven't seen a whole lot of impressive...
I distinctly remember it snowing one year at FUN. So, I wouldn't guarantee that ;)
The piece looks quite nice. The price looks quite high. For reference, a VF-30 sold on Great Collections earlier this year for $173. So,...
What is puzzling you about the label? It says it is an 1887. Oh, are you looking at the S$1? That just means "Silver Dollar" And, Google is...
Entry post, because I still really want #12! To keep it coin related: here are pictures of a beautiful Moroccan Rial. It's sitting on my desk...
FUN now has 2 shows, and has for quite a few years now. The Winter FUN in January is the big one, and then they have a Summer FUN in July that is...

You are guessing the grade. Ideally, your grade and the TPG grade should be the same, if the TPG's are grading accurately and you are grading...
If you read the wikipedia article, it's pretty clear that sestercentennial is the real word and the other one is a modern made up thing:...
If it's a modern Chinese copy, they counterfeit everything. They're all collectible and sell at a premium. Even the dimes.
If you posted the other closeup picture of the date that user bdunnse posted in this thread:...
Can you try and take some pictures for us?
You know what, I actually think I was wrong on that one. The dime should be reeded. The half dollar had a lettered edge, but the lower...
