No argument from me pal - I've always been a huge fan of I/S technology. But NGC may have an alternate solution - their new slab is only one which...
I'd say you're gonna be busy Michael - and possibly very much in need of funds :D But on a serious note, that's one thing I miss about...
This having signatures on the slabs is something that PCGS and ICG both have pushed hard in the past few years. Initially the program met with a...
I rather think it was because ICG was the high bidder.

Unless it is in remarkable uncirculated condition - not really.
It kind of looks to me like it may have small traces of mechanical doubling and that the collar may have slipped during striking - nothing...
It is the Mint's shorthand for die failure. If written in longhand it would be - a piece fell out of the engraving (or die). This is not...
