   I think the rule with Great Southern is to never buy a raw coin from them. I have bought 1 PCGS slabbed coin from them and it worked out just fine.

   To Buffnut two nice buffs you snagged there. Great Southern coins are worth a look because of the outstanding pix. But it is up to you to grade the coin of course. I will continue to peruse their stuff.

   Never purchased from them because of the phoney, surreal, ultra-glossy look their photos have. Think about it; there's a reason that 95% of their coins are raw.

   << <i>Rather than a numerical grade, I'll grade it like they do in school: D+. The last 1936 you posted is undoubtedly a proof. This one is an ordinary business strike, with not much to commend it. >> There is plenty of doubt about the last one he posted being a proof too, (undoubtedly) is way way to strong of a word. It's…

   They do have an excellent return system. I bought 5 coins some years ago to try them out. All were problem coins but with great photos. The returns were very smooth.

    Bought from them twice. Greatly disappointed both times. Then they told me I was flat wrong that their "choice BU" was not really only AU. Got my money back. Never again!
