I would strongly disagree with that thinking. IMO Heritage is probably the best bet that a collector has for getting the best price he can...
Hmmm - have to admit, never before have I seen a coin like that. The only possible explanation I can come up with is that it was a "midnight...
If it's anything but a Genuine slab I'm amazed !
I know you guys laugh at me about it, but it could be a shovel mark. They literally used to shovel freshly minted coins into bags when they bagged...
Yes, banks collect them almost every day. When they get enough they turn them in to the Fed and the coins are melted and recycled.
