    It was the most overgraded fugly looking Canadian 25c I've ever seen. I dipped the coin and sent it to NGC. If I hadn't dipped it I probably would have gotten a 61 or 62 on it.

    The 51 was a coin I originally bought seen unseen from a Canadian dealer. It was horribly graded. I passed it on to Don (sight unseen) and I regret it now.

    If it were a more valuable coin, it should have absolutely gone back to PCGS on a grade guarantee.
