Just a follow up to say Thank You for following up and having the Census correct for this coin

Dena & Staff,

Thank you for your very prompt response, I appreciate it very much.

A week or so ago I called customer service asking to have what appears to be a typo in the Census corrected.  The representative agreed that it was a typo and would send a message to have it corrected.

Since no correction has been done I just don’t want the issue to fall off the radar as I am the owner.  Cert # 2006779-005 is listed as a 1a variety.  The photo of the encapsulated token on the Cert verification page shows it to be a 2a variety.

Any assistance in getting the Census updated would be appreciated.

Thanks,

The latest addition to my proof registry set will finish it up. Seems like forever ago I bought the first one, the '73 Closed 3, so maybe it's approporiate to finish up with this '73 Open 3.

The plastic needs a good buff, and the photo some better lighting, for for now, here it is....

Thanks, sounds like extending that time a bit would help us slower old guys.

When I attempt to enter data into column fields I keep getting the small white box, rotating wheel inside and the word "Working", as I type. It's almost as though each character entered needs to be saved before it will accept another. Makes it hard to enter data without waiting for a curser, enter one character, wait for curser, enter one character, etc. I am using IE8. Any thoughts? Thanks

[quote=Golden AgeI am a brand new collector who has been extremely fortunate to have purchased several Gold coins and not been scammed or cheated. As a newbie to coin collecting, I am curious what TPG's and AT/NT stand for.

I appreciate this forum and am learning some vitally important facts.

TPG = Third Party Grader ie: NGC is a third party grader. There are many, many others. Generally NGC, PCGS, and ANACS are considered to be the top tier of TPG's

AT = Artifical Toning "Coin Doctors" will doctor a coin to create the toning many collectors desire

NT = Natural Toining The toning coins pick up from the environment they are stored in. Many times this is old coin albums that were not totally acid free.
