Looks like nature created it's own racketeer nickel.
I am not really an error guy and can't really help with this coin.
Some peripheral rainbow toning and a carbon spot in the left obverse field. What year is it?
Okay, but you didn't answer my question. Do you consider coins that come out of sealed bank bags uncirculated? According to Doug, that is not...
I completely agree with this post. @Jloring, your job is to send him what you listed in your auction. Believe it or not, I once read a story...
Do you consider coins that come out of sealed bank bags uncirculated? Does that conform with the ANA standards?

I don't collect any of the series that are market graded in such a way so "in hand" my answer would be several. In my experience, when faced...
I agree that it is an important topic and I will try to remain cordial. At least for a day or two:devil: ps, your guesses are pretty close.
Really hard to answer that question under that scenario because it requires the coin to be raw and I buy almost all of my coins already slabbed....
I guess what you are asking is there any other series besides Saints where the TPG's use roll friction as a reason to grade a coin with wear MS....
Really? You are a moderator, why don't you go snooping through my PM's to see how many members of this forum have expressed exactly that...
