NGC Black Cores

Very early on, NGC used to have a Black Core to their slabs. Many collectors felt that this black inner core flattered some coins, especially gold coins, much better than the white cores.

There has been a lot of collector talk asking NGC to bring back these black cores on a limited basis. Either only for gold coins, only for gold coins when requested by the submitter, or for any coin when requested by the submitter. So far NGC has resisted.

I think the concept of Permanent Polls is a great one. But I also think there should be one in Coins, one in Comics and one in Cards. (wow! The three C's!) Such would attract a lot more attention I thinks! _________________________ My newly updated pre-code horror checklist: Excel Spreadsheet http://www.mediafire.com/view/?bocj4c8r1i5xlnu Delimited Text File (for im portaing into other apps) http://www.mediafire.com/view/?fatq0qp54ltz1ba

I would but the circularity of that idea is starting to paralyze me. _________________________ My newly updated pre-code horror checklist: Excel Spreadsheet http://www.mediafire.com/view/?bocj4c8r1i5xlnu Delimited Text File (for im portaing into other apps) http://www.mediafire.com/view/?fatq0qp54ltz1ba
