And Doug, what's it like once you get past that and know everything? Do tell... ;) :devil:
The NGC and PCGS boards are VERY different animals. To throw them in the same bin and judge them as one is not even possible. One of them is as...
Well, why else would you walk into a Ford dealership? :confused:
Looks like some pretty nasty corrosion on the reverse to me. I'd throw that one back and find another 1960 ;)

Surprise! :D
As with a few other designations, NGC and PCGS do not assign the "FB" designation in the same way. NGC only assigns the "FB" designation to...
This new medal came in the mail today. [IMG]
