All I know is that for coins >$100 .. their policy is almost exclusively if they can slab problem free, they would slab them; if they are raw, they almost certainly won't slab with problem-free numerical grade .. Their prices seem to be heavy retail end .. For what I collect, I haven't seen anything that thrills me

I bought something from them not too long ago and it was an ok price. I believe it was a best offer option.

I bought a few nice coins from them. I agree with sam6969 though.

ARCO

I have bought three coins. They have honored all of my best price requests. Great to work with.

Thanks Sam, that is EXACTLY what I was wondering about…. a raw coin that looks just too good to be in a raw state. "A coin that nice should have already been slabbed," my brain tells me.

Looking closer, I think I see some very light graffiti in front of the hair curl that hangs in front of the ear.

Yeah, kind of looks like an old cleaning and re-tone to me.

GC - the 15-D half is one of the 4 or 5 most common dates of the series .. you could find a nice slabbed AU53-55 for that money without much difficulty (if you prefer slabbed) .. You could also find a nice original AU55/58 in the raw for the same money ... Being such a common coin, if it were me, it is one I would be much more selective on
Edit: Yes - there are marks next to the ear that could be construed as graffiti for sure
