Thanks Chip !
Howdy Kevin - I'm sure a lot more folks remember you than you might think. Coin collectors are like that, we remember things, especially other...
Because it probably has 10 times the number of coins listed.

Yeah they probably would. But walk into the same dealer's shop with common date coins in new ANACS slabs or ICG slabs and he won't take them at all.
Maybe they didn't think it was PVC, but something else.
As I have explained many times, die polishing was done by holding the face of the die against a large, spinning zinc plate. Now if you envision...
There is no way to tell an original from restrike.
No it isn't BS, some dealers DO refuse to take them.
