1887 NGC MS-66.

Description:
|
Dear NGC, We are sorry for whatever we did to make you angry at us. We realized something was wrong when we received this coin back, and it was only graded MS-66. You must be mad at us, or you would have given it the correct grade of MS-68. I mean, come on! There is not one mark, the luster is dripping off the coin, and it is fully struck. So, whatever it is we did, we are sorry. Sincerely, Mark Mamelian - Auctioneer Scotsman Auction Co.
