I would not hesitate to buy a high dollar coin from them if they had one I was looking for raw or slabbed I agree, I have bought from this seller many times and have had zero problems and most of their coins are fairly priced.

I take it you mean the rim depth is wrong, but I think it might be the photo angle of the coin in the slab. Is that it? Report this Post to the Staff
TypeMaster Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 10/31/2006 9:12 pm The depth is too deep. Also the relation of the denticles to the rim. The rim is also too thin. There should almost be a fold over of the denticles and the rim. You may be correct as far as the photograph goes, but I begin grading any coin with the rim. The rim will almost never misrepresent the coin. It may just be me, but when I saw this coin I could almost feel the sharpness of the rim "cutting" my fingers as I mentally handled it. quote: Originally posted by hadleydog [quote]Originally posted by TypeMaster Look at the rim.

hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 11/01/2006 5:21 pm I sent them an email regarding this subject (specifically the rim depth and thickness, and the relationship of the denticles with the rim). Here is their response...... Bruce, This is a genuine coin guaranteed by NGC. It is just the photo angle as you said. I actually had trouble seeing the environmental damage that they labeled. Hope this helps Dan From my experiences with these guys in the past, I would tend to believe that the coin is original. BTW, NGC does guarantee the authenticity in the NCS slab, just not the grade.

The seller is one of the best out there, both in terms of numismatic skill and business quality. If the price were right, I'd buy without hesitation, and I've bought from them before.

TypeMaster Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 11/01/2006 6:00 pm Excellent guys. I appreciate the efforts. I am just rather cynical by nature and this is especially true of high dollar coins. I have look at 100's of photos of slabbed coins and had not been struck by this anomaly until I saw this one. Again, thanks for the feedback and opinions! Report this Post to the Staff
