http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=27102&Lot_No=11074#Photo Is this IHC really AU details? Does that stand for 'almost unreadable'? Must be a weak strike....
Maybe they meant "AG details"... A long time ago... in a galaxy far, far away... someone said "buy the coin, not the slab" !
I think they were referring to the obverse being damaged by somebody scrubbing it with sandpaper...they probably missed the 'hole'. The reverse doesn't look too bad....I guess this is what we can expect from NCS...any grade to make a buck.
The notice on the slab states "GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC ONLY" "DETAIL GRADE DOES NOT DETERMINE VALUE"! Apparently it should state "GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC ONLY" "NCS DOES NOT DETERMINE GRADE". Frank
