No one like to grade gold?

I guess 58, 64, 55
I will admit I cannot tell if that is the strike or wear on those coins.

 

Interesting grades. I want to say 63, 62 and 64. I do not know a whole lot about gold, but that won't keep me from taking a swag at it.

 

Nice coins.
I think MS 64, MS63 and MS64PL.

 

58,61,63

 

63/55/64

 

C'mon Doug, the game is not what is your opinion, if we all did that, none of us would be wrong. The game is what grade did PCGS assign to them

 

Point taken, BUT you can do both

 

I'm in the AU camp on these but I was at 58,50,53 but they could just as well be 63,60,62 as images don't show rub that well some times and catching luster is hit and miss.

 

Doug was neither the first nor the last to say those coins have wear.

 

??? Huh, Doug clearly said he has no idea was PCGS said and he was representing his own opinion, which he later explained was to educate folks on grading. There is no disagreement here. Doug is interpreting the "soft spots" as wear, which may or may not be how PCGS views it, we will see.

 

still playing games at your age grandpa?

BTW your grading is no longer market acceptable

Standards of PCGS and NGC have been rising year over year but yours have remained the same. When you are ready to call a 62 coin a 64 come back and we will play another round of guess the grade

 

why not do a complete analysis like old times with circles and everything. by just giving out grades how will most folks learn why pcgs screwed up if they did

 

Au63, Au63, Au63....

 

58,58,62
