Unicorn is a highly uncommon, rare, especially desirable, or otherwise very distinctive purchase. The "unicorn" is slightly lower on the scale...
ANACS did designate "Cameo DPL" for a while. That designation is no longer in use.
You won't get into a problem free slab, no matter what date it is. Those scratches on the reverse are too deep and severe, even for PO-1.
While I'm sure the blueberry lemon *pops* with the PL surfaces, those giant palm prints obverse and reverse really kill it for me.
Nope, this is a common misconception. There is no frost requirement for PL or DPL. It looks great when there is, but not required. The only...
I need to play around with diffusion. I haven't really gotten it to work well for me yet, but I know it was one of the recommendations in...
Yes, you are absolutely correct. ANACS did label if it was just a one-sided PL. NGC does not explicitly label these sorts of coins, but this is...
You and I must be interpreting the photos very differently, then. Let's hope, for the OPs sake, that I'm wrong!
The NGC pics show the luster better. Very nice coin!
That was a very interesting interview. I was particularly intrigued by the axe money. And, thank goodness for Google translate, since I don't...
What are we talking about here? I have no idea what "coin update" you are referring to.
I see traces of wear so I don't think its MS. But I could see it at 58+. Does that make it gold? I don't know. I'm going to vote green.

Yep, they exist. There have been 28 of them graded by NGC throughout the entire series (out of 200,574 coins graded). (That's 0.014% graded as...
Show us a full-coin picture.
The top of the 5 is how it was made. It won't grade because the reverse was harshly polished leaving all those hairlines you see.
I think more significant than the variation in Date and Mintmark is the variation in date it was graded. To answer your first question - yes,...
Yes, if you have something unusual they have specialists in the series. I'm sure not all of them go to all of the shows. They'll always have US...
The harshly polished obverse is far more severe than the couple of rim dings.
Depends on the show. NGC, ICG, and ANACS all do onsite grading.
