Just thought I would add some value to the community, if anyone was interested in NGC Imaging.... Very happy with the results. I could of gotten it about 80% as good, however, for something like this, quality matters. For the expert graders, what threw the grade off on the ASE for that sought after 70 grade?
It is practically impossible to tell the difference between a 69 & 70 from photos. All of those little specks on your coin are probably dust, but it only takes one nick that size to drop the coin to a 69. So, which one is a nick? Only her hairdresser knows! Chris
I was a little disappointed with the dust. I love how the gold coins came out though. For $5 a coin, not bad.
I could tell you if the coin was raw, but there is too much going on with that slab to see the difference.
