My grade - 62. And if NGC said any higher I'll be surprised. There's just too many hits on the obverse.
This is a question that is asked a lot. Sorry to say there is no web site the info. So other than old books and periodicals there is only 1 way I...
Again, I would agree that 97-99% are graded as 69 - but not and better. There are still far more that grade under 69 than there that grade over...

I think it might be because they raised the relief of the portrait in 1970 - it was lowered again in 1974. One way to check would be to compare...
I wouldn't risk it based on those pics.
If it were me I wouldn't use a museum as an example of how to store your coins. If anything museums should be examples of everything you don't...
Hardly, I could tell far more lies with pictures, and more convincing ones at that, than I ever could with words ;) Don't always trust pictures...
Just because something isn't easy to find in New Zealand Aidan doesn't mean it isn't east to find someplace else. The thing that really makes...
