A few spots, but nothing too distracting. I like the amount of luster on this one, and the strike is good for the issue. "Scarce" token (a few hundred struck), created for primarily collectors as a mule of two dies used elsewhere on circulation tokens. 1792 Lancashire/Rochdale Halfpenny, DH-149

I think NGC is claiming that they have now graded more coins in total than PGCS. I wonder how profitable is their Paris branch compared to their US operations. NGC has had the lead regarding sheer number of graded coins for many years. PCGS is the one who is trying to catch up. More important than the quantity graded though, I personally find the quality of pieces in NGC plastic to be much better than their equivalently graded PCGS brethren. Again, just my personal observations and opinions.
