I don't collect currency but it is obvious the grader (and seller) are trying to pull a fast one on an unsuspecting buyer, much the same way SGS...
Did you used to be a dealer at a casino? That's what they do. Sometimes I find myself doing the same thing when I want to make it perfectly clear...
I ordered a 2008 Silver Proof Set and a 2008 Uncirculated Set. Both arrived damaged - one of the plastic cases for the Silver Proof Set was broken...
What you say makes sense, Jack. And that's probably what is goins on.
Amazing! Why not take the same $10,000 and order EIGHT UHRs from the Mint? Surely one of the 8 will grade MS-70 PLUS you'll have the other SEVEN...

That's what I have heard. Too much gold and platinum to let tourists roam around. I have also heard that they don't give tours of the SF Mint....
Tom, If you want to save face you should not pursue this. No offence but rlm and Carl are correct and you are wrong. Maybe you just got your...
Good luck, Jack. See ya when ya get back.
It's certainly not like it was before 1965. Back then it was common to find coins worn almost smooth. Of course, the silver coins were softer and...
