What follows are some general observations and tidbits that I found interesting: ~The online preregistration was a nice touch; I bought the pass...
PCGS here....but yes I've seen worse from both PCGS and NGC get by...I did not send it (bought in the details holder), so I'm not too worried...
In 2020 prices across most coins series started going up. And that upward trajectory has been fairly consistent through 2023. Initially with...
Questionable color means that PCGS does not think the toning is market acceptable-so they give it a details grade.

Nice coin and great photos! :)
The clues helped me find it. I'm not bidding but I did do some research. Greysheet is 1,320; recent sales range from 1,080 (low outlier) to 1,800...
And I think human psychology is the answer to the thread's question of "what's with the fascination"....there is a very small number of people who...
Best of luck! NGC was very slow in 2021 and parts of 2022 but has improved lately. So hopefully the wait won't be too bad and you get some nice...
That's the first holed example I've seen straight graded but it's not unusual because it was made to be that way for circulation (as opposed to...
Separate names with a comma.
