After seeing the new pics - still think that was putty ?
My thinking is no different than yours. When I talk about premium I mean the extra it cost to purchase the gorgeously toned example as compared to...
Krypto - in case you haven't noticed I post and say what I believe or know to be true, every single time. First and foremost I am a member of this...
Years ago that was true, but even then only with some coins. Today, I would never agree with that comment. But each TPG is always tougher with...
The edge being smooth bothers me some as it should not be, even with that wear. But I see nothing that makes me think it's fake.

I'm really not sure what you're saying here. First of all I have admitted several times now that yes there is a point, a grade, at which...
Based on your picture I see nothing that makes me think that coin has been harshly cleaned.
That black foam in Intercept Shield 2x2 is the actual intercept shield material. That is what protects the coin. Without it - you have nothing....
