Rattler MS63 1904 $20 Lib
Here's a common $20 Lib MS63 rattler that sort of amazed me bringing over MS64 money. I guess the seller's hype got some people thinking it could go MS65. Frankly, I have a fresh pile of rattler MS63's I'm saving for a rainy day, and not one is MS65 material. Centsles paid a strong $100 over MS64 money. While the coin looks all of MS64 even in the foggy photo, it just didn't catch me as a MS65. And I felt the seller's "uncle" or "grandfather" hype was a little bit hard to swallow. I thought $1100 was a good price for the coin but a few people had it at $1500-$1600.

Wow! I am really happy with the coin I got! Yes, it has a lot of hits, and MS60 may very well be its technical grade, BUT the coin is:
> Wonderfully Original
> Has orange-ish vaguely mirrored fields with pinkish frosty devices
> Very Sharply Struck
> Best of all, my coin has none of that ugly, black-looking cheek rub that almost every MS60-62 I have ever seen has.
So maybe there is something to rattler logic...

I think Russ knows who this guy is... I believe he's an ex-top TPG employee or something...
He has lousy images and an even worse return policy coupled with NTC slabs.
His return policy states:
THIRD PARTY GRADED COINS AND PAPER MONEY ARE NOT RETURNABLE . THE GRADING STANDARDS OF THE GRADING SERVICE APPLY
Why would anyone....nevermind.
I believe, in the law suite against a few well known numismatic people, he was listed as "lost income" because he switched to NTC from ACG because of all the negative ACG hype.
I HAVE bought from him in the past and he does deliver what he offers; TPG coins in holders with their grade on the holder.

In addition, when the ANA was running the ACG lawsuit defense fund, a story of how Centsles was treated by ACG was featured, as told by a former ACG employee.
