<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Spark1951, post: 3135591, member: 90692&quot;]Welcome to CoinTalk Forum.&nbsp; I applaud your guess about NGC, your citing 3 ways they use &quot;altered surfaces&quot; is a great research result.&nbsp; But....</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, NGC has seen way too many of these <i><b>re-</b></i>processed steels, and know definitively the multiple differences between them and an original issue.&nbsp; When I first ran across these in 2013, I thought I had found an MS65.&nbsp; Upon closer inspection I found flaws in the dates and mint marks and, also, extra thickness in various locations.&nbsp; Then a thought occured to me:&nbsp; How did my brother end up with 27 of them?&nbsp; I should have had doubts as soon as I found more than 1, looking like that.&nbsp; Further research explained how they were made in 1943 and the last vestiges of my popped bubble dissipated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once again, good job researching and sharing...Spark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
