I'm trying to figure out how they could've gotten the attribution AND an MS grade onto the same label. Is someone faking ANACS slabs now?
Oh, it's a special trinary at that, where each digit is an integer multiple of 3! ;)
This all sounds quite... organized, doesn't it?
Point your friend to PCGS Photograde. ;) Looks like a solid F to me, assuming it hasn't been cleaned (can't tell from these photos). I see all...
All those years with more money than time, and all those coins. Aren't you glad now that you were buying coins, and not, oh, say, designer...

I'm not the least bit surprised. Pre-COVID, there was little chance of winning in the evening; with work-from-home, I'd expect quite a lot of...
There are a few real coins with this coloring, but at this point they're WAY outnumbered by the fakes. Stay away.
Or you can camp on the new Buy It Now listings watching for gold that's not overpriced, and be faster on the Buy button than anybody else who's...
And not to dredge up old arguments, but vinegar without the peroxide also works, more slowly and controllably.
