jay - do not put much faith into what you read in that book. The author is a nut.
Not at all, I worked in the construction industry. Had many titles over the years, but basically I was the guy in charge of everything from design...
I would not consider that token a coin. Nor would I consider being in a Genuine holder the same as being graded. Genuine holders merely...

Because I don't think that L is just a random contact mark like the others. While I will admit that it is possible for such a mark to occur by...
Personally I would not have bought the coin, I think NGC screwed the pooch on this one and slabbed a damaged coin. That L is not a contact mark,...
To a large degree yes, and to untrained eyes - 100% of the time. However, there is one weakness that putty has - it cannot duplicate the look...
