Message:: [QUOTE="Insider, post: 3034298, member: 24314"]IMO: The OP did something really neat.  He imaged his coin before submission.  Then he did something really bad, he made a big fuss about something that turned out to be NOTHING except making NGC look poorly. As to the images, anyone who thought the coins were from a different die WAS CORRECT!  Due to the images, that's exactly what it looks like as NOTHING lines up.  It took Mr. Carr to prove that the coins were the same (great eye for detail) by finding an identical mark on each image!  So the folks who said the coins were the same (including Big Money - who get's a half hour foot rub tonight - read between the lines) were ALSO CORRECT - just more correct. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Now to the coin.  AFAIK, whenever a coin gets damaged at a TPGS, it is to be pointed out immediately.  The damage is noted.  In most cases, it is something minor and that's all I will say except there is a record made. As to damage in transit...I was not in the box.  I will say that does not look like it came from a plastic flip.  Several decades ago, I exposed the "Myth" of "slide damage" producing hairlines to the cheek of a coin. IMO, the fields of the coin are cloudy and hairlined.  Pr-66 is PLENTY.[/QUOTE]
