<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1528109, member: 24091&quot;]Just got my coins back from NGC.&nbsp; Overall, about what I expected.&nbsp; Out of 5 coins, one higher than I expected, one lower, and one that was a bit of a surprise when it came back as not genuine.&nbsp; Especially since I have been using the reverse sunface for my avatar on CoinTalk for a couple years now.&nbsp; I guess this means it&#039;s time to come-up with a new one.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Bought the coin about 20 years ago from Harlan J. Berk in Chicago for $35 which would have been about 7 or 8 times melt back then.&nbsp; Weighs 27.1 grams, so it&#039;s good there.&nbsp; Edge looked okay.&nbsp; Some areas had way more detail than you would expect from even a good fake.&nbsp; A few things that didn&#039;t look quite right, the tone seemed a wee bit too even and the fields had some porosity which I figured was seawater damage.&nbsp; BUt over the past decade, it has become a VERY hot and desirable coin, and I figured even getting it in a VF-20 slab would probably make it a 6 or 7 hundred dollar coin.&nbsp; </p><p>OOoooooh well(!)&nbsp;&nbsp; Live and you learn.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]200562.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]200563.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]200564.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
