I agree with Todd. I think NGC got it right. Lance.
I really hope you get a better shake, Darrow. Sounds very unfair. Cheers, Lance.
Thanks, Eddiespin. I too was glad with the decision. Your thinking is admirable but believe me, PCGS does nothing for altruism. As much as I...
My sorry story with a registered, insured, priority mail lost package going to grading service lost or stolen by postal workers continues. Sent...
Looking around, it appears there are three diagnostics. 1) A wire edge from roughly 10 o'clock to 3 o'clock, obverse. 2) A series of small scallop...
Lovely coin! Very cool. I hope it grades cleanly. Here, for comparison, is a genuine one alongside LostDutchman's. I don't know enough about this...

Soak it in acetone. It is 100% harmless to the metal and toning, and will remove any oil, grease, grime, etc. It looks like it might have pretty...
Ha! Good point! Lance.
If I can be allowed to speak for BadThad, what he is saying is the Denver Mint employee was overzealous about removing die damage. The die was...
I don't like it. Too many flags. Among them, a no-D die #2 with that obverse would have a much better reverse. Or, said another way, the obverse...
Nice. Yes, it's a cameo. Most folks have to pay tuition for mistakes like buying home-slabbed coins. You got away lucky! Lance.
Wow! That's impressive. Nice going. Lance.
That '54 Washie is outstanding! WTG! Lance.
