Definitely one of the more interesting Guess the Grade threads that I have been a part of.

Just Bob got a reaction from blackfoxDJ in Fake Meiji 10 Sen?
This is way outside my area, but that coin looks really "iffy" to me. Even if it is the shallow scale variety, the lack of detail on certain parts is suspicious, in my mind. I would pass.
Just my opinion, of course.

Just Bob got a reaction from kbbpll in Mated Morgan dollar
Made in China.
Seriously, where are you finding all of these fakes? And, are you buying them?

Just Bob got a reaction from RonnieR131 in Mated Morgan dollar
But, with whom did they mate? Aside from the 1921 issue, all coins minted during the period of Morgan dollars were female.

Just Bob got a reaction from SHOEDT1 in E.Carib.S. 2002 Label Error
You may have better success re-posting this in the "Ask NGC" forum. The employees of NGC monitor that forum, I believe.

Just Bob got a reaction from RichieRich2020 in Could this be a new discovery of a Roosevelt dime with a special matte finish ?!?!?!
We could do a much better job of discussing this topic if you would ease off on the sarcastic attitude a bit.
Yes, I am well aware of the 1975 no S dime, as well as the other three no S dimes, the 82 no P, and other Roosevelts that are highly sought after. After all, I have been collecting the series for many years, I have studied the series quite a bit, and do know a little about these coins. If you go back and read my comments, you will notice that I said "generally," meaning, in this context, "most, but not all." There are always exceptions. But, you are comparing two completely different items. The no S dime is a known, listed rarity, which is necessary to have a complete set of all date/mint mark combinations. Since there are only two known, there is competition for them. Your coin, according to you, is a special finish piece that was somehow released into circulation. (If I am wrong about that, please correct me) In order for it to bring the six figure price that I assume you think it is worth, there has to be a buyer for it. I just don't think the market is what you think it is for that type of coin.
As I and others have stated, this is all just speculation as long as the coin remains raw. Without authentication from a major service, the coin is worth ten cents, or whatever you can get someone to pay for it. Why don't you go ahead and send it in, and let's get this matter settled, once and for all? If it is real, by all means, come back on here and brag as much as you want. I will eat crow with the rest of the members, and, to be honest, will be extremely happy for you.

Graded gem in a PCGS Rattler with a CAC sticker. Congrats on your milestone. I am just 21 posts away from it, myself.

How about one of these -- with your name suitably inscribed? (1863 Fr 1155, proof)

That's what I figure as well. Just going off some of the comments I've seen about the modern coins is where my original statement came from.
And @Just Bob I have to agree with @Alex in PA.. For someone who really knows squat about collecting such as myself, it really is an insight and pleasure to see the knowledge displayed on this forum by you and others.

Just Bob got a reaction from Insider in 1834 Capped Bust Half. Edge Lettering Issues
Because of the way the letters were applied, edge lettering errors are not terribly uncommon on Bust Half Dollars,although I thing doubled lettering may be a bit less common than some other types
. Looks like an O-110, Small Date,Small Letters, which is listed as an R3.
I found a post by Conder101 on another forum from 2008 that had drawings of the Castaing machine used to apply the letters.
