Then I'll say the odds are better than what I first indicated, simply because you're forthcoming about the label's provenance and came looking for...
Probably not, but that's just the odds of buying a raw coin labeled DMPL that is a legitimate DMPL. I'd have to see the coins in hand to be able...
I don't disagree with you. I just find that based on the picture, the appearance of the vertical part of the D beneath the peeled part looks...
It looks like a lamination to me. I'd have to examine it up close to see why it looks like a lamination from a different coin that got stuck to...
[ATTACH] This is mine, graded PCGS 64. The picture is sharper, and the lighting is different. The OP coin may even be better struck than mine on...
I don't know where you're inferring hostility from, since none was meant. You were given explanations as to why you made your honest mistake, and...
No, they weren't. What was being talked about was ACG, which is entirely different, and specifically how much the slab that was the topic of this...
I'm looking at the second set of pictures, and while the luster is dead (thanks to the soak), I don't see any definite wear. XF doesn't make any...
That's an environmental damage and/or altered surfaces color. The coin has been in a corrosive environment of some sort.
The "ACGS" coin is a raw coin in a cardboard 2x2 that happens to be thick, plastic, and about 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 in size.

The graders have coins from only one submission in front of them at a time, but may not have all the coins from that submission.
This will be challenging since the coin isn't large. First thing I'd try is grab the slab at the bottom and flick the top back edge onto a hard...
Decent looking, uncirculated coin. Toning is colorful enough to be worthy of a premium, assuming that the obverse pops a little in the right...
No.
The best way to count the reeds is to take a picture of the coin in a flashlight reflector, print it out, then mark them with a pen. Mike Fey and...
I'm not familiar with a 1921 Morgan with anything other than 189 or 157 reeds. Leroy Van Allen hasn't counted the reeds on a Chapman proof as of...
I'm coming up with N-16 or N-17, but yeah, the mark on star 6 is a hit on the coin.
The picture's a little dark and not quite sharp, but it looks to be in the 63 ballpark. It looks like the toning really has potential to frame...
It actually says both. The lettering on the white ring refers to the Educational Society, which owned the collection.
