People used + all the time on 2x2s or as stickers they'd put on slabs to try and exaggerate a grade, but they didn't become legitimized inside...
Someone that would make a bogus slab with the EPN logo on it is probably not too concerned with things like good reputations. The other clue that...
How old is that logo? Heritage and NGC used it in the auction a couple years ago, but I assume the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Educational Society...

The most common 91-CC VAM. I've said before that if I were given 5 minutes to find a specific VAM of my choosing at any large show, I'd pick the...

Just a bit off-center? Reminds me of this: [img]
Don't forget about the purple ones. They went extinct a while back, though.
Cleaned. Can't say one way or another about the mint mark. It is consistent with some of the coins pictured on PCGS CoinFacts, but this is one...

My D610 is a 24 MP camera storing 14 bits per channel. Only one channel lives at each pixel, so to store that uncompressed would be 48 MB. The...
The side of any building or mailbox seems fair game there. Or did you want privacy?
