Yup, I would've blown off that coin on the same grounds. Keep that in mind next time you're tempted to take my advice.

 

Play nice Barber. Have fun with this stuff. You posted this thread because you thought there may be something wrong with the coin. Some of us see problems but have not picked the coin apart as of now.
I'll tell you what. Please study the image a bit and think of what you see that made you question the coin. I'll pick the coin apart later this evening for you if you wish.
Keep in mind, we are all posting opinions based on images that may or may not show the true coin.

 

I'm not sure which coin you are talking about the pcgs coin on top or second coin?

 

The one you posted most recently. I would've judged that harshly cleaned from the photos, but a TPG said it's problem-free, and I trust their in-hand judgement a lot more than my from-photos judgement.

 

I posted the thread because of the holder it is in ! I though it looked over graded at most !
Other than a little impaired luster , I don't see anything that makes it any less a coin than every other ngc, pcgs AUish barber dime ..
I understand peoples trying to help and just being honest ..
It just kills me that almost everytime I post a coin there is something wrong..
I've went so far as to post graded coins already slabbed , and just as I suppected there will be one or two that will go on and on about how it's a problem coin and will never receive a grade .. This is not the case this time but that goes to show people always assume the worse ..
Last month I listen to a few members here preach to me that the buffalo nickels I posted would never grade close to Ms , that they would be AU at best , yet icg graded both ms65

 

So, what are you learning from this?

Maybe you're deciding that everyone here hates you and wants to talk down all your coins. I hope not; it's not true.

Maybe you're deciding that nobody on here is any good at grading coins. I hope not; that's not true, either.

Maybe you're learning that it's hard, perhaps impossible, to grade a coin from a single set of photos, especially if the photos aren't the best. For my money, that's what this thread is reinforcing.

When I'm trying to grade a coin from photos, I try to be very conservative, assuming the worst. Like I said, it means that I miss out on a lot of coins, but it also tends to reduce disappointment.

 

You have made up your mind on this coin based on the images and you have never had the coin in hand. Others are going to do the same and they have with this coin and others in the past. What is the difference? They are nothing but images.
Open your mind to the possibilities that you or anyone can be wrong. I hope you figure this all out before you waste any more money buying problem coins.

 

Well soon as the coin gets here , I'm going to crack it out and send it to anacs , then we will find out if I'm wrong !
If it comes back with a detail grade , I will be more than happy to admit that everyone else was right !

 

Maybe you should actually look at the coin in hand before you do anything with it. With your vast knowledge of Barbers, why bother with a second rate grading service. You know it all from what you say. You have fun with that.

 

I think it's a very eye appealing coin, and shouldn't we agree that plenty of coins with more issues than this one end up in clean PCGS and NGC holders? I'm really jaded right now after purchasing my first CAC stickered coin (a circulated key date Buffalo). It had a small spot that didn't seem too bad; it just couldn't have been bad if CAC stickered it... Then when I took a flash photo I noticed some strange greenish toning in the area around the spot that looked a lot like PVC...

Even so I think when most of us see a PCGS or NGC slab we assume the coin to be problem free unless proven otherwise, whereas with a basement slab we assume the opposite.

 

I think we have the barber dime king here all hail. I'm sure RLM has forgotten more than you have learned

 

Ok, lets move along, nothing more to see.

 

Problem is I would love to know who was right. Oh well!
