That's the problem I reached with my Prooflike Typeset. I knew that it would eventually become an issue, but when I started there was enough...
I know when we start getting older, "20 years ago" means a long time ago... 20 years ago now means 2006... They've been grading PL Morgans since...
True. But if it doesn't, you're stuck with a coin you paid full retail price on. If you like the coin as is and don't mind it just being a 64...
I think it is very close but I think it isn't there. I think the obverse especially isn't strong enough.
I think most of us who were collecting at the time probably saved one or two of those. I cannot tell you how many boxes of cheerios I ate hoping...
It depends on what service you pay for. They offer 2 tiers (really, 3 if you think about it). 1. They photograph every coin in the slab. This is...
I think this would be a very interesting thread. I'd be very interested to see the results.
I don't understand why people are saying AU on this coin. I see no trace of wear at all. I see no flattening on any high points, I don't even see...

So did you get one?

Alex, I'll take "Things I'd never buy Raw for $1000"
Your poll makes no sense... only one of those is a coin grading service. As for your question - I buy NGC as much as possible.
The areas you point out are unusual, yes. However, these are perfectly natural signs of an old, overused die. Your coin has not been cleaned or...
Why do you say this coin has been whizzed? What signs do you see?
Some kid was probably very disappointed they could not find their squished penny! I used to do this occasionally with my grandpa, and I know we...
