Actually we don't. Since 1984 the US has struck 1 coin for another country, the Leif Ericson coin for Iceland in 2000. You can read more - HERE
One thing should always be remembered - there are a LOT of people who capitalize on just that way of thinking. Yeah, the deal would be great if...
The rim is a very important part of the coin and yes it must be considered when grading. It is so important that if a coin has a bad enough rim...
If all coins of a given date/mint are known to have been weakly struck then allowances are made for that weak strike. This is true of any...
Since 2005 the MInt has produced Mint sets with a satin finish, so it is quite possible to find coins in circulation that do have a different...
Strictly my opinion, but I think NGC is the most consistent of the TPG's.
I love it ! :thumb:

Never thought about that, could be. But then verdigris on many modern coins as well, and occurs naturally without any help from man.
I would hope that PCGS said AU58, I would as well. There is light wear on the tops of the wings, eagle's beak, eagle's head, and just a tad on the...
And you'll have a lot more trouble. To the best of my knowledge there is no written standard that NGC has ever published. And Mike, we shall...
So let me ask you Lehigh, when is that I am not being presumptuous if I disagree with a grade assigned by a TPG ? Is that only when you happen to...
