Funny 'cause it's true! ;)
I personally would not grade it FS (by strict standards of "no impeding" marks that bridge steps)...but I think PCGS probably did give it FS. I...
That's definitely the DDO variety. Congrats. The thing is, it's an extra fee to get NGC and PCGS to designate these varieties, so you have to...
I put AU details, stained. If it straight graded, I'd go AU50...and not a smidgen higher. ;)

Says who? I am quite certain that is a die chip on the mint mark...
PS- you answered a question never asked by the OP. Maybe you're missing that point? Lol
Looks like a run of the mill die chip. Not rocket science.
He was obviously asking about the surfaces...how can a mint mark have a course bead-blasted look to it? :p Not to mention the references to...
No, I think he means the surfaces. Thus why he said "it has a coarse, bead-blasted finish"... :rolleyes:
Here's my only half cent....for now. [IMG]
That quarter is not the only coin you have sold with terminal state toning. One was a recent high dollar pedigreed Morgan dollar that had just as...
