I like your new pictures. And I really like your coin. I agree that it is an accurately graded, but very attractive 65. Meow did well on this one.
You're comparing apples and Toyotas. A better comparison would be if someone took that cool racer car and broke the wheels off it. That would be a...
I do think the bottom coin is nicer. I voted 67 in your poll. There are a few differences I can see between the coins which make the bottom one...
Yeah, but he want's $13k for it and that is just insane.
There is no such thing as "interesting damage." All of the coins in this thread are mutilated and should be melted.
They shouldn't. Counterstamps are damage, and a counterstamped coin should be limited to a details grade. Some people go crazy over this damage...
If I post a coin on a forum, you can consider it as being held "in very strong hands." Generally, when I make a purchase, it is because it is...

I have many, many top pop coins. I didn't want to distract from the post however. I also have tons of top pop PL coins for their series. Here's an...
Deep scratches on a cleaned VF coin with green corrosion on the reverse.... man, I would have passed on that. You overpaid by a lot. Return it if...
I have never re-bought a coin I sold. If I sold it, there was a reason for that. Either I upgraded it, I didn't like it, or I moved on from that...
Nice! I don't have a PL Booker.
I know you don't buy coins anymore, but if you compare in hand to Heritage's photos, the coin will always have more luster in hand. Heritage...
The newer PCGS slabs don't fit in the NGC box, though. And that frustrates me.
Make sure to check your SBAs for near date/ far date. They can have a pretty good premium even in high circulated grades.
I don't think we can really get an accurate guess of the contrast based on these pictures. The toning makes that even more difficult.
If you have an accurate record and inventory, then this shouldn't be difficult. For example, I have a spreadsheet that tracks every coin I own or...
