Thanks for the article, this is what numismatics should be about, relevance to history, context. Anyone who researched their genealogy will...
I was expecting ICG to grade it as Unc. details damaged. Glad they didn't, usually they are in the ballpark on dollars sometimes overgrade...
It looks like it straight graded as a pl unc., I will check it out when it comes back.

It isn't just Salzberg, he would never have issued that article without extensive communications with others at NGC and elsewhere.
"Muddy Waters" is well known for launching lawsuits, usually publicly traded stocks sink and quickly get short sold, probably if they were...
Actually the class action issue was entirely different than that lawyer link, I just cited it as an example of mistakes that they find ways...
PCGS needs to speed up their guarantee submission system, last time it took me 3 1/2 months to address the problem. Also on some coins with a...
I saw someone suggest that a class action lawsuit may be in the works against PCGS. Why would NGC just sign off on a broadside like that without a...
It's fine to trade uncertified coins when grading wouldn't change value much, but not when you are talking about real money in this hobby,...

I walked it into a shop where the dealer is helpful this morning; looks like someone had tested it with acid, looked through 60X and saw that it...
Some of the old holder coins are undergraded, but they are full of problem coins as well and with PCGS' extremely long wait on their "guarantee"...
I don't have a camera that works now, picture is a scan. On the surface, looks like opaque epoxy.
A friend said this: "it looks 65 to me which would increase the value by about $260".
I picked up some xylene at HD for $8 or so. I started soaking the coin in it immediately, will share results. I guess toluene and xylene increase...
Just to be a curmudgeon I would say XF45 or so, not enough luster and or strong enough strike.
Don't have xylene or toluene around, probably could get a small container at Home Depot, etc. for under $10, which is better? Anyone know what...
Would NCS be able or willing to do the job? The coin looks pl to me and could go Unc., unfortunately conservation and grading eat up $40-$50....
[IMG] I got around to imaging the coin with the adhesive or laminate. What leads me to believe it is adhesive is there are tiny scratches...
