Notice the grading company. Read the description then look at the coin. A bogus grading company used to push off a very-fine at best. Oh, and the nice gloved hand really seals the deal. It's in a hard plastic case, stupid!

So you newcomers take note. Research before considering to buy. Otherwise you may end up disappointed.

I like the slab, and imagine it like this.

"But wait, order now and we'll get the grade in half! That's right we'll hit it with a details for the polishing! This is a deal you can't pass up. 30 day returns that won't be hononed! Don't wait buy it now!"

Grading service started up back in 2003, this is there second generation slab. Bottom tier service yes but bogus? Might depend on how you define bogus.

Reminds me of diamond grading. I bought 1 diamond in my life (wedding ring) and recall there being 1 big respected grader, and then some competitors whose strategy seemed to be giving more generous grades .. needless to say, knowing which company did the grading was very important info.

I don't get all the hate for the seller, NNC is not the most reputable but it's not as bad as some others, they're just a bit too generous with their grades. And I see no issue with wearing gloves to handle slabbed coins, perhaps they want to avoid covering the plastic with grimy fingerprints and it shows they take care with the coins.

It really just shows gloves were on for the picture. Someone could take a picture of a coin with gloves on a soft pad and then be flipping them across the room for the next one. I'm not saying they did that but there's nothing more to read into it than the actual picture
