Oh, no, it isn't.
I don't have a pic of the slab. You have to just trust me.
End result... NGC called it AU-58. Several of you got it, so congrats!
All you had to do was ask :) The GR number (Graham-Reiver) is like the Overton number for the lettered edge varieties. I've been told the book...
So, just looking at the obverse, we have a wide variety of lines and marks.... 1. Marks on the slab - that long, thin, white line to the left of...
No. A Type is an intentional design change. You mentioned the 1913 Buffalo with raised or recessed mound. SLQ with chain mail or bare breast....
Nah, you didn't insult me. I've got thicker skin than that. I've been on forums for over 20 years. What I will say is, NGC slabs in-particular...

Attractive coin. Great Addition to your collection. Good purchase. These are three different things, in my opinion.... Good Purchase depends on...
Some of you may have noticed I haven't been quite as active over the past year as I was previously. Life and finances got in the way, and I wasn't...
