JustBob, thanks for the welcome. I just noticed that it said that was my first post. Strange, I wonder what happened to my post history. Been a posting member on here for 8 years. But back to the bear in the corner.
Like you, I also think that the grade PrAg should have nothing to do with my coin. Yet there it is when I look up my cert on the NGC registry. Been doin this for a while now, but until last night, I had never seen that designation. Somehow that one slipped past me. As for ya being a downer, no need to worry about that. I'm way too old and been doin this far too long too be sensitive, and you gave your honest opinion. I respect that. I agree that the photos show all the tics, hits, chatter, and wrinkles that a 100 year old broad would have on her face. I'm sure it will be a while before I get to it, but I WILL get some better pix of her and circled back to this post. Definitely. One day. Probably. In the meantime I am just scratching my bald spot trying to figure out HOW this one got a "POOR almost GOOD" certification. She has HIGH amount of detail, and is not worn
I have to say, though, that your pictures definitely do not make your coin look anywhere as nice as the MS66 coin that you also posted. In fact, your coin does not look uncirculated at all. Enlarging your pictures shows numerous tics and hits, and what appears to be wear. There is also very little luster showing, especially compared to your other coin. Sorry to be such a downer on your first thread, but I am just calling it like I see it.
