Adrian, wasn't that a couple of years ago? Regardless, why bring it up now?
Because three years ago there were about half the members we have now; many people have not seen what I think is a very cool, interesting and somewhat controversial coin.
I bought it from a board member sold it to another board member who crossed it, paid him a ten thousand dollar profit and then sold it to a California collector with probably the largest commem collection - over five hundred classic commems, all toned, many of them spectacularly toned and all graded by either PCGS or NGC.
I originally bought that coin from it's longtime owner back at a FUN Show over 5 years ago. I had alot of varying opinions on the coin when PCGS did not cross it after 3 tries. I sold it to someone in the know on toned commems, he did a walkthru regrade at a major show and it did not cross so he returned it to me for his money back and I gave it to him. I would say that was the most controversial coin I have ever owned in my life.
Specializing in coins with "thin film interference" & "sulfur impregnated surfaces" due to hanging out with "old bags" and "wrappers"

It was sent in once.

Which means it can't possibly be artificially toned...............

What would we do without NGC?
I hear NGC slabbed coins are sold on Coin Vault a lot
