Message:: [QUOTE="cashelclan, post: 125004, member: 5352"]Worked NGC for 3 years.Pretty much Ive come adapt to it.The high points and low points should never have similar handling marks.This coin does.In my eyes this coin would be sent back with green highlighter.Note:Never use unproven coin grading services as they exercise their right to slab your coin in any grade they want as for they are not liable legally because a coin grade is an opinion of ones own ability to grade a coin.I have the ability to grade coins as per higher industry standards and I make alot of money doing so in my private time.I can look at the reverse of about 90% of the Lincoln Cent collection and tell you the date without turning it over.Experience counts for a lot but it does no justice for the love of the hobby.How many times have you actually looked at that coin in your hand and thought about the history that particular piece may have had.Was it in the pocket of a man at the Battle of Gettysburgh or did Kennedy have it in his pocket when he was shot.Did one of our Presidents use it at one time or did some little Kid put it in a candy machine in the 1930s.A coin is as valuable as the desire of you to obtain it.If you want it because you can get it at a good deal then you are in the wrong field.And that my new friends seperates the coin collector from the coin investor.A little off track but I felt it had to be said.[/QUOTE]
