Message:: [QUOTE="coinage 10, post: 282140, member: 6399"]I’ve just returned from the “Long Beach Coin Show”, held Sept. 26-29. I had the attributions rep. from the NGC look at the coin, he said that although it had to be certified to make sure, it was a VAM 2 7/6 in MS-64. I had three other coins I wanted graded by the PCGS on site, so I returned the next day at 11:30 AM – I was ½ an hour too late for same-day service. I gave the coin to the Director of Attributions for ANACS, who with his 10X lens gave it an ultra-quick glance (as he did with all the coins I wanted to submit for certification). Apparently, ANACS does not do out of house grading, so he had to take the coins I submitted. His opinion was that it was not an error coin, but at least in MS-63 condition. Unfortunately, the NGC people were leaving, and the PCGS was swamped with cross and regrades. I must say, my renewed interest in numismatics is taking a beating – where does any merit of consistency exist? Perhaps, when I get the coin back, I’ll have a better idea. A.J. [/QUOTE]
