<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2531216, member: 19250&quot;]Like I said this specimen&nbsp; came from a member here. Who has posted it before because it has something&nbsp; more to it other than the grade.</p><p>The coin was graded by INS in the early&nbsp; 90&#039;s the coin also has a Compugrade sticker on it with a code N9.</p><p>Now both Conder101&nbsp; and Messydesk&nbsp; made replies to the original&nbsp; post by ddddd. I believe&nbsp; Messydesk hit it on the head.</p><p>He stated that the original&nbsp; owner most probably&nbsp; sent it in to Compugrade&nbsp; and asked for a grade. Let&#039;s say&nbsp; they asked&nbsp; for a MS-66 PL.</p><p>Compugrade&nbsp;&nbsp; didn&#039;t&nbsp; see it that&nbsp; way,&nbsp; and bagged the coin with their sticker on it coded N9 that was the code that they didn&#039;t&nbsp; agree&nbsp; with the grade asked for.</p><p>The original&nbsp; owner then sent it into INS&nbsp;&nbsp; who did grade the coin and for some reason&nbsp; the owner&nbsp; attached&nbsp; the Compugrade&nbsp; sticker onto the INS slab. Maybe as a reminder&nbsp; that they didn&#039;t&nbsp; give him the grade....maybe just because he wanted to....who knows? ? ? ?</p><p>What I do know is the coin was purchased&nbsp; this week from ddddd. He saw my post and sent me a pm last night regarding&nbsp; the&nbsp; coin. As he didn&#039;t&nbsp; know it was I who made the purchase&nbsp; from him.</p><p>Since then we have pm each other over this specimen ,his reasons&nbsp; for letting&nbsp; it go over having it for almost 2 years was to free up cash for other purchases . And I will add was very&nbsp; happy to know it went to a member&nbsp; here at CT.</p><p>That said I like the coin, love it&#039;s&nbsp; history , and the unknown&nbsp; about it ,......and now the the grade as given by INS.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=72765]@Broncoholic[/USER][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
