paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 09:55 am I agree with you SD, but we truly are at the whim and fancy of the graders on high aren't we? They really DO run the railroad it seems. I had thoughts of parlaying this 38mm jewel into an Antietam commemorative, but I'm thinking she deserves a better fate and will spend the rest of my life (not hers) next to her earlier and later cousins in my Type Set.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 7:17 pm Is NGC suggesting that toning is AT? That toning doesn't look deliberate--what is NGC seeing that I'm not? Report this Post to the Staff
paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 7:27 pm That evidently is what they're suggesting. To really appreciate it, you need to have the coin in hand. I guess they thought it was too good to be from a natural process. I'm switching TPG's anyway (tough talk for "I'm taking my toys and going home!") Report this Post to the Staff
paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 09/02/2011 11:57 am Just got her back home and snuggled between an 1872 Liberty Seated (that came back AU details ) and a 28S Peacenik). There she will remain..... Report this Post to the Staff
