    and a genuinely crappy picture...

    I don't know all the rules...but from what I learned yesterday, can't tell if it's a "best kind" no D because I can't look for the diagnostics on the obverse

    In this case your buying plastic with the hope that the coin matches the grade; those pictures stink.

    Bad pictures. I'd stay away. I won't buy a pig in a poke.
    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    I had an ANACS EF40 that I sent in to PCGS and came back VF35. The original ANACS holder plainly stated, just as the PCGS does now, strong reverse. That coin is probably the weak reverse variety. That said, that coin in the auction will still fetch over $700. The 1922 NO d"s fetch high bucks..... Ken

    imageThe color seems to indicate that the coin is porous! The price is already too high for a weak reverse. If you are after it and get it, don't crack it or resubmit!!

    I'd wait for a better one with a strong reverse! Make sure it is brown, not chocolate colored, which is an indication of a porous coin. I've been through two that color and they were porous, but the XF-45 Br T-2 is sweet!

    Yes, definitely watch out for porous coins. 1922 had a lot of them. I've had some and seen numerous others.....Ken
