ITS/CTS? The holder reminds me of ICCS, the Canadian grading service.
Same. Don't rock the infallibility boat over there or bam!
Your poll asks "MS or AU?" but there is no MS option. Just saying.
What do they do with these? Return them to the owner? It's interesting how the RCMR article you sent me focuses on the date placement as the key...
So, the 2022 Morgan is going to commemorate the 100th anniversary of not making them anymore?
My first thought was VF30. But with the wear in BER and looking at Photograde, I guess it's more like a 20. Way too much meat left in the laurel...
