On the reverse of the coin, in the area circled below, the texture appears to me to be different than most other areas of the coin, which have the...
I always liked that token. In fact, I own one and its the only token I've ever purchased. geekpryde by geekpryde posted Dec 21, 2014 at 11:32 PM
I'm perfectly described by your Stage 4: 4. Not adding anything new in years, keeping collection intact;
I notice that baseball card shops tend to also have at least a small section dedicated to Magic the Gathering. I was never in the baseball...
The serif on your Coin is clearly truncated, even in the blurry photos. Well done. Check the other indicators, but I say you've got the real...

I always liked circ cam coins like this, especially in half dollar size. It's a combination of seeing the broad outlines of the coins in...
No Star. Not exceptional toning, or PL enough, or special that I can see. Also rather baggy (per normal at 63), but I don't think that comes...
I would be curious to learn what ended up happening with the OP and PCGS. If they made things right, assuming they had evidence the coins were...
Unfortunate scratches on that proof. I would return them if you can, and buy a TPG (PCGS or NGC) graded example in the grade you can afford, or...
