I love it when a plan comes together !
Oh what the hell, let's see if we can make it 50 pages ! Yeah, maybe. But it's also possible that it's NT.
That Oregon commem. And let the counting begin :D
Reminds me of an incident that happened a while back. I was at a family gathering and as usual was teasing with my nieces and nephews. We were...
Yeah but it's AT. That ought to add another 40 pages ;)
As Oldhoopster said, with staple scratches it is usually the staple in one 2x2 scratching the coin in another 2x2 as you either put 2x2s into or...
No. No, CAC does not grade coins. All they do is tell you if they agree with the grade already assigned by either NGC or PCGS. They will not...
Kurt I've never read it as I don't own the 7th edition. So I don't doubt your word at all. But what I'd be more interested in is what the actual...
If I was grading it I'd put it at VF20, but that's not your question. Would I be surprised if a TPG gave it a 30 ? Not in the least.

To each is own Kurt, but what you describe is the very definition of standards. If you don't have things like that then there are no standards....
I don't see anything right off that makes me question its authenticity. As for grade, I'd say 45 as there is considerable wear and not a drop of...
It's pretty simple. In mid 1955 the mint made a change in packaging of the Proof sets. Prior to '55 they had always come in those boxes, coins...
And THAT is chocolate and vanilla !
Kurt this discussion has gone on for years. The 1st and 2nd editions of the ANA grading book were the same, and based on technical grading only....
Based on what you've said so far - fine by me.
You further illustrate my points with each post Kurt. It's pretty simple when ya get right down to it. They've screwed up grading so badly that...
Separate names with a comma.
