Way cool SjlundCoin!

What is your process for identifying such coins? For example, do you do a first pass with one level of magnification, and then another with higher magnification?

After almost 6 months I have received this coin back from NGC

It was graded VF30 BN, which makes this my best cherrypick to date

It looks great, and even better in the slab! Where does one cherrypick such goodies?

Thanks everyone! The reason it took 6 months, was because I had to meet the NGC's 5 coin minimum. It took 5 months to cherrypick 4 more grade worthy coins and it took NGC another month to grade them.

@Druu- I can't give up where I cherrypick yet because it keeps on producing...

@sjlund- No worries. I wasn't trying to steal your source. I just figured you had a really good local guy!
