The spots were one of the things that turned me to 66 on it. Above 65 (in my opinion), eye appeal must begin being a larger part of the overall...
Tragicomic, actually. It seems he was once a finalist in one of the PCGS World Series of Grading - plainly a world-class grader - and chose the...
He's Centsles and NNC.
Wow. I can live with 67, I guess.

It's unlikely any of these people are making any money off them, as long as we get Ebay to remove them soon enough.
Any time you wish to budget, say, $400 for a bespoke camera rig (if you don't mind buying used) I'll be happy to teach you how to duplicate that...

I will comment soon, but I have so little Internet bandwidth it will take (literally) fifteen minutes to display the PCGS images. Five minutes in...
Keep in mind, the level of detail we see, obverse vs. reverse, is not really out of proportion for the issue. Check out how much reverse detail...
What were they minting for coins in Carson City in 1967? :)
Fairly spoken. Buy the Red, get it away from oxygen, and wait for those who aren't as careful to increase the value of yours. :)
Sorry for "invoking" you, but you are the first person I think of when any viable discussion happens about coins of this era. You're a victim of...
I'm praying this be the case, but even if so it points to a very serious flaw in their process.
