"Mint stuck" and "Mint state" are different terms and that is where the source of disagreement lies. I don't believe mint struck has ever been the...
It's certainly possible. Some would like to see more green and a little less breaks in the toning (the area below "UNUM" could end up hurting the...
Here is a video: https://www.instagram.com/p/CPYjqCbFDcW/ I don't see the luster impaired by the toning. I reiterate, it's debatable what level...
Did you own this one before? I will guess $2,500 plus fees.
I need to catch up on this thread but I don't think the Franklin is an example that fits the original question. It's not an AU coin and wouldn't...
The toning was just right and a definite positive (I wouldn’t describe it as too thick). There were too many marks for the grade but they weren’t...

It's a toss-up. On the last S-proof the limit was three but I heard reports that people with subscriptions for more (5, 10, or 25) got their full...

I’m going with MS 64 again ….just a few too many scattered hits ….market grading could easily push it into a 65 holder ….I’m thinking Anacs gave...
I'm comparing to photos of PCGS TrueViews and I'm still not seeing a difference. [ATTACH]
Now you have to! Send one to ACG too. :p
Can you please circle what you are seeing?

Does anyone (maybe @Insider ) know what the "laminated" designation means on this war nickel? When I think of laminations, I think of a piece of...
Like I mentioned in the other thread, I am open to the new system where 58s can go well into the MS level as I see your point that minor wear can...
Separate names with a comma.
