I've never heard of this course, NGCS, or even that such a course is necessary to be "certified" to grade coins. NGC and PCGS graders are...
I don't see any problem based on color. Unless there are some hidden problems the photos don't show, I think it's all good.
And so it begins... see you 25 pages from now. :P
You'd have to ask him for a definitive response, but I don't think the die cracks are by design. They're probably a result of the high striking...
I think this is pretty much the reason a lot of large cents are not slabbed. Particularly with 1790s coins, a lot of them have what would be...
The 2 million is basically a guess based on rarity and the amount of publicity the coin's gotten. You can just make numbers like that up if it's...

What @messydesk said, more or less is my opinion. It also depends on why you're thinking of regrading/stickering the coins. Is it to make them...

Unfortunately, you have a regular 1964, business strike Kennedy half. This picture from PCGS Coinfacts shows the difference. Note also the lower...
Stunning coin with an absolutely razor-sharp strike. I love it. :) What? @Dancing Fire paid over bid for a coin? What's next? Mass hysteria?...
Re: denticles, this is true if you're only talking about half dollars. The Isabella quarter and Lafayette dollar both have denticles. Re:...
Most of his currently listed Jefferson nickels look ok. There are a couple that are too "out there" to be NT, but most of them look good. A...
Hey, now, don't tease... where's the obverse? :) Looks like a proof, too. Is it the FS-101 DDO?
Cool token, but looks like it could use a little VerdiCare love. :)
