Just for the need of filling a hole in my 7070.
I cracked this out of it's slab. Originally graded by AACGS
MS65 I don't know if it deserves that rating though
What looks like rubs on the right are camera blemishes.
A good hole filler for less than a buck though...Definitely needs to be upgraded though

If I'm reading this right, you bought a 90% silver half for less than a buck! No matter if it was graded by a less than reputable company and placed in a crappy slab, I think you did good.

Nope..just grab each end and twist.

When I first stated collecting, I bought small collection for 20.00
If I break down how many pieces were there, it worked out to a buck or so per piece.
These links are pretty much the entire collection

That's why It got cracked so quickly.
If I even thought it was reputable, I would have left it slabbed.
OK maybe just in the plastic case.

I guarantee you there are a LOT of grading companies you've never heard of. There are a lot I wish I had never heard of.
