NGC Confirms Discovery Of Fourth Known 1854-S $5

I think I have the 5th but holding off for a bit until I send it in

Too many people putting their faith in "accepted" norms could have caused this coin to be lost forever.

Just like the opposite side of the issue: too much faith in an established system can also result in major problems.

Think of all the slabbed 1896, 1900, and 1902 micro-O Morgans. They were TPG graded/slabbed as genuine until 2005 when it was determined ALL of them are counterfeits!

Think of the money that changed hands. and only after (if I read the multiple online articles properly) the VAM community had already been suspicious of these did a TPG study them for authenticity.

To prove these Morgans are fake, the TPGs deemed the situation important enough to post online data showing why/how they came to this conclusion.

So why not deem this certification of the ultra rare coin as worthy of posting the equivalent verifiable data online?

Then anyone would have a better idea as to what they want to believe about the find.
