You missed my point. I agree, he could have scrubbed that specific coin with a brillo pad and it really wouldn't have made any difference. But...
Hmmmm - what do you guys think of this for Franks new avatar ? [IMG] :D
yes, tell me exactly what you want to say and I'll change it for you.

I guess it's been a while since we had a thread like this, thus the question that began it. And as always the answer begins with another...
I'd have to say that NGC and PCGS both lie on a continual basis, like when they try to tell us that AU coins are really MS. But for some strange...
I have never seen even 1 collection software program with its built in values that was actually anywhere close to reality.
