I say it is worth the gamble Matt. We all agree that (if it grades) a 66 is a given, but there is a possibility of a 67 and therefore worth the...
Those are sweet looking coins! One thing I would consider about placing high grade examples into a Dansco 7070 is the album toning that the coins...

there is actual wear on the coin. From the forehead to the neck and on the leaves around the back. AU is when the luster is impaired, but when you...
PCGS will say XF-45 as well
They make a bronze medal version of all of the First spouse coins. That is a very affordable way to collect these. I bought a brass version of all...
