It's only ironic if you weren't aware of it already, and who said they wouldn't correct their mistake -- they just don't guarantee it. What I...
A few points...and apologizing in advance for my blunt response, but I think you need to hear it.... o It's not NGC's fault that you can't see a...
I agree with your assessment, but need to understand better what you mean by "most". To this point, I believe rather strongly that most...

Sneaky, RLM, sneaky. :smile I wonder what I guessed the last time. 63? :confused:

lkeigwin nailed it. Delivery is the seller's responsibility.

That's a pricey coin in Gem, even brown, IIRC. I could really grade the coin anywhere from 63 to 65. I'll guess it graded 64 BN. One of...
nice 67
Here's another idea. Wait for the next Baltimore show, and take it to NGC there for reslabbing. That way you'll save on postage one way at...
We shall see. :) You may be correct, but the mellowing (particularly visible on the reverse) along with some light obverse spotting gave me...
