If you see no signs of obvious cleaning I would crack it out and either resubmit to NGC or submit it to PCGS.
They do randomly take TrueView like photos for CoinFacts. The photos are the same quality as the TrueView, just without the template..
It happens more often than you think. 7-8 years ago I sent two 1999-S Silver proof sets to NGC for grading. Each coin was separated from the Mint...
They don't come any prettier than that!! I've never seen a nicer toned SMS Lincoln than this.
Here is the PCGS write up in CoinFacts. Jaime Hernandez: Missing Edge Lettering Dollars were discovered the first year in which the Presidential...
Whoever said Environmental damage was correct. Code 97 - [IMG]
Yes a MPL VDB. I had tunnel vision and had to complete the MPL set. Of course the trade just happened to be at the peak of the MPL price run up....
My biggest bonehead mistake was trading my PCGS PR67 Buffalo set for a PR64BN 1909 VDB Lincoln. I still have nightmares about that decision.

Ron Pope did a study consisting of around 300,000 buffalo nickels. Over 10,000 of these were 1937's. He found this date to be among the rarest to...
A couple from my Gone but not Forgotten set. Both PR67 [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]

Very nice gift!!
I suppose they are still out there, but you have more of a chance to be struck by lightning than finding either a 1969-S DDO or 1958 DDO. So far...
It's just too bad the value wasn't maintained. It probably would have been worth more if they had just put the D's in circulation instead of the...
I was one of the ones who missed getting the mint set in 1970, though I did get the proof. At the time no one realized they would even be minting...
