This one damaged/tooled. I'm not seeing what they see.


Always buying purdy toners and early US type!

They all look nice Ankur. For some reason they are very sticky lately, well in the last year regarding E.D.
The body bagged a few of mine for that and I really don't feel it was fair. I have seen much worse in NGC and PCGS
older slabs. But I think they are really tightening up their grading.

Those are some really nice coins, Ankur, I especially like the classic head cents.  It would not surprise me if some of those cins would grade on resubmission.   I don't get the "damaged/tooled" thing on that cent, either. It would be nice if some sort of explanation was attached when a coin gets a 'no grade.'
