<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 739595, member: 16994&quot;]Some of you may remember this coin. It was a coin a customer of mine had inherited. I had the coin certified for him to NGC and it AU58&#039;ed. He decided at that time to keep the coin being a collector and all. Months go by... Recently he contacted me and asked if I would be interested in purchasing the coin to which I replied &quot;heck yes!&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of days later he comes and presents the coin to me RAW again!?!?! </p><p><br /></p><p>He had cracked the coin out of it&#039;s NGC holder and put it in his SLQ book. A little strange but I have seen it before. We continue the transaction and a deal is reached. I then decide that of course I want the coin in a slab again. I send the coin back to NGC.... it comes back improperly cleaned... (imagine my surprise) I was wondering if he had damaged the coin somehow after having it in his album... I received the coin back and studied it for more then an hour and was unable to find anything wrong or different about it. So I decided to send the coin to PCGS and this is the result. AU55. I&#039;m happy with it as it currently sits. After it went into the NGC details holder I showed it to quite a few dealers that I trust and not a one could figure out why it was in that holder... but some of them wanted to buy it for a discount in that holder... (of course). A fluke???&nbsp;&nbsp; Did NGC see something (the second time) that myself and about 20 experienced dealers, themselves once, and PCGS didn&#039;t see???&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways it was an interesting story for the coin. Enjoy the new pics! </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/warcollect/slq1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/warcollect/slq2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/warcollect/slq3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
