I have one autographed coin (actually two) that I like. I had Glenna Goodacre sign two Sacagawea dollars at the ANA show in 2000. Silly me...
Looks genuine. The very low light is causing every last speck of dust and dirt to cast a shadow on the coin. I agree that it's an unfortunate...
More coin deterioration than anything else.
That depends on how bad your frostbite is.
Neither PCGS nor NGC use the grade 69+. That is not to say that in the future there isn't going to be some perceived need to split that hair.
I wouldn't worry about it, but if you do have a future printing and fix it, add the following: "Disclaimer: The editor has left at least one...
Proof coinage of the 1970s was steeped in mint hijinks. This, like many other errors of the period, was no accident.

You have a couple things backward here. The 1922 No D is a result of a worn and polished die, and is considered a die variety, as are other coins...
That's why God created the winky emoticon. At any rate, they're all nice coins, so I'll say 65FB. On the fence about FB on this one. It's...
