[QUOTE="FishyOne, post: 1093914, member: 27384"]I like them. Very well done and the quality of the A-Mark pieces was excellent. Mine are off to PCGS for grading! Obverse die polish lines are on most of the coins from A-Mark; not bad but noticeable. PL surfaces abound and overall quality is excellent. These 5 coins average 68+ with 2 pieces having the dream shot at a 70. Here's my comments and grades. The A-Mark shipping box is nearly identical in size to a USPS Medium Flat Rate box (which is heading back to PCGS tomorrow!). :) Grand Canyon has excellent obverse with slight scuff marks on the reverse between Y and O. Should go MS68, MS67 at worst.
