(1) yeah yeah, ken potter is a nice guy & everything, but look at page 66. he's offering "type-2 reverse" cents at what sound to me like awfully high (read "profitable") prices. seems to me like a funny coincidence that coin-world featured an big article on the "type-2 reverse" just a few weeks ago. also, potter drops hints about the stupid variety now appearing in the "red-book". hmmm, could it be a coincidence that ken is a contributor to the red-book? i know, just a minor thing, but does anybody else get tired of all these stupid new "varieties" that keep getting added to the alleged industry-standard reference?
(2) baffled by a couple of "superior galleries" ads. get out your pencil & check off the prices on page 57 for
1793 half-cent, ngc-62
1795 half, ngc-55
1795 $10 pcgs-53 (or is it ngc-53?)
1913 $2.5 ngc-pf67
1913 $5 ngc-pf66
1911 $20 ngc-pf65
now look at page 41.
anything a little strange here?
