I'll let the story stay because of the mention of the Franklin Mint issues, which are not coins but at do least have a numismatic relationship....
Are you sure it's genuine ? I've been looking and looking and I can't tell if it is or not. Granted, most of the diagnostics require a closer look...
I agree with your decision :thumb:
Is this on the coin ? This pic makes it look like it is but with the other one I'm not so sure.
I didn't claim they proved anything, matter of fact I speciffically said that they did not. But they do at least provide some evidence that Breen...
It's happened, the TPGs have been fooled before. Just not very often. If you mean actually catch the person who did it - no, not to my...

Well one of us is wrong that's for sure. 1959 50C MS66 Full Bell Lines PCGS. Type One Reverse, used on a minority of business strikes for this...
I've never used the guy before but I've had his link posted in the Numismatic Resources section for almost 5 years now.
According to Breen, only about 30% of the business strikes have the type 1 reverse.
I'm not, but I think it is childish to argue for 5 pages about something like this. It's not anybody else's place to be telling them they...
My memory could be wrong, but as I recall the '41-D is not known for weak strikes. Going by that it is more likely that that is light wear where I...
