Mercury Dime vs Brillo Pad [IMG] Why do people clean coins?
Do you mean 1939-D? I don't have a 39-s! [IMG]
Doug, Do you enjoy playing devil's advocate? When you post "the vast majority get the same grade they had going in" it makes it sound like PCGS...
Here is what David Lange says about the 1940-S in his book THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO MERCURY DIMES. "One may speculate that the reason for such...

When I was grading that Jefferson I was torn between MS64 & MS65. Once I saw that the coin was graded by PCGS, I immediately guessed MS64 as PCGS...
White and not worth posting.
I have three words for you. CLOSE PHOTOSHOP NOW!
Tom, He does that! I don't know why, but I am glad he does. I got this Antietam from him. I don't know where he got it but it is CRO's...
