Congrats! I would have guessed long shot too. But it came through nicely! WTG. Lance.

TrueView photos, those PCGS shoots (the bottom photos), tend to emphasize color and deemphasize luster. It's just the way Phil does things. Todd's...
Spooned is my guess, too. Lance.
Might be legit. Who knows. At least you know the seller won't be getting paid until the buyer leaves positive feedback and/or much time elapses....
TPG's are very suspicious of colorful copper. PCGS just BB'd a pretty 1915 I sent in. I sent it right back, raw again, and it came back 65BN. It...
Here's a 20c piece that was in an old ANACS slab (small holder), MS60. I tried crossing it and PCGS said "questionable color". Annoyed, I cracked...
That's spectacular! Congrats. Looks nicer than MS61. I would have guessed 62/63. Lance.
RB and BN Lincolns can be gorgeous, I agree, Matt. A set of '09-'58 wheaties is 140 coins and mine is 12% RB and 88% RD. It's too bad the TPG's...
Here is an upgrade I've been waiting a few years to do. Unfortunately I had to say no to a wonderful 65RD -- it was 6x more expensive! This is a...
The odd/even plate thing was no burden, really. Having both plates would simply mean you got to wait in long lines twice as often. Lance.
Cripes! This is the third time you've said this in the last two days and each time you've been corrected by those who know better. Three times,...
I don't think you're being argumentative at all. Good questions. According to Don Willis, PCGS tested thousands of coins of all metals, sizes and...
LOL. I too still need 4 - 93 wreath, 93 liberty cap, 99 and 04. One of these days. Let's not even talk about the upgrade want list. Lance.
Yup. N6. Jules Reiver, George Ramont collections. Was an NGC AU58 but I cracked it for my Dansco. Marshall, you are a pro! What about this one?...
Doug, I was glad to read your description of Secure Plus, and its capabilities and weaknesses. Because virtually everyone gets it wrong. But your...
No to vinegar. It is an acid and will damage the original mint finish. TPG's sometimes make mistakes and cleanly grade coins that have been...
I would move on. It is not particularly beautiful and certainly not rare. Since it's raw it is not necessarily genuine. Why chance it? Spend a...
Oh my! Some cool stuff here. Chain cents, '93 wreath and liberty caps, 1804. Someone please post a '99 normal date! Lance. [IMG][IMG]
Looks interesting, Siggi. Let us know how you like it. I see it is available here, $49. Spend $50 for free shipping. (Lots of other fun...
