Here's how you free a PCGS coin in 3 seconds with no risk whatsoever. NGC, just tap around the edges with a hammer. 30 seconds later you can put...
There are two varieties for the O, as Doug points out. The weak, doubled-to-the-left and the sharper variety two. The D was usually well struck....
I'd give it a strong VF30. And I think it has a very good shot at grading cleanly with PCGS or NGC. They are very forgiving when it comes to old...
A 1946 66RD in PCGS plastic is a $250 coin. I paid $402 for a really superb one. Trouble is, NGC high end copper doesn't hold up. Cross one to...

Hi Jenn, Sure, we've all had moments when we were at a disadvantage. I rely on a few dealers whose opinion I trust. If it feels wrong, walk away....

I live in the bay area and would be happy to help. What do you need? Lance.
