    Sweet! Awesome! Congratulations! Can't wait to see the pictures!!!
  • Pictures will be awhile.... I called customer service the day after shipped since I didn't see email attachment I usually get for truviews and they said it got missed.... They said send it back in marked mechanical error with note for truview and they would take care of... and also offered me a complimentary one coin submission... (unexpected but much appreciated!!)

    Will post pictures when received!

    Free submissions for their mistake is useless without free return postage and insurance.

    Ahhhh, just what I was afraid of, most of the retained wire is gone! That was why I did not sent it in for grading.image

    Just noticed, what did they put "First Strike" on the label?
