[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2775341, member: 24314"][B][I][COLOR=#ff0000]Troll alert![/COLOR][/I][/B] I'm back. Three things to say. 1. The OP's coin is over graded. Only way to ever prove it is to crack it out and send to PCGS. physics-fan3.14, posted: "I don't see how you could possibly make any judgments about either from those pictures!" 2. I'll bet that most of us looking at the blown up image of that coin had a very good idea of its grade, most acquired a soon as they looked at it. While the color is OK, it is a little splotchy and it toning has destroyed the underlying surface when it is that dark. Nevertheless, the TPGS's ignore things like that. 3. I forgot the next thing...:oops::facepalm:[/QUOTE]
