OK, here are the most recent. There are 300 or so more where these came from. ;) I do not have very many ancients, but I'm moving into that...
Nice newp....I'd post some horses, but I have way too many...
Here are a couple: [IMG] [IMG]
Looks consistent with what I would call a proof.
I also wasn't being snarky. :) I just love the emojis here.
The biggest problem is that there is no gold standard, so even the definition of "accurate" is not fixed. Even two extremely experienced people...
Or, how many times did @geekpryde mention "CAC". :yack:
Will it tell us how many thousands of times we have had the "PCGS vs. NGC" debate here? :dead:
The southwest to northeast parallel lines over the cheek area of pictures 3 and 4 are clearly slab scuffs. I have seen dozens of NGC slabs like...

Clearly scratches on the slab (not the coin), as they go beyond the coin itself. [IMG]
Doug's "anniversaries" of 1,000 posts come pretty often, so you'll get a chance to catch the next one. ;) At his current average rate of 9.16...
What bothers me more about this particular eBay seller than anything else is his unabashed juicing of images. He has been doing it for years, and...
Separate names with a comma.
