That was an attempt at humor over the CAC thing, does not always fly over the net and land the way it was intended

 

Cool. Yeah, I've noticed that too, lol. I do not try to change the hobby, or like to get special attention, but I do like to be a little different. I read about the ABC thing in a book (yep, took your advice, and I thank you much for it. :thumb: ), and I read about how the TPGs use ABC to help grade coins. I thought that was interesting, and I've never heard of that before. So I thought I would try it out. Seems like a stepped on a few toes, lol. But I thought it was pretty neat, and different. Atleast to me. Honestly, I think they fill a few holes personally. Like, no one coin is the same. There are many MS-64 coins that are better looking than others. But, they are just labeled, 64.

I think ABC helps narrow it down even more, and helps a bit too. Like a 64 coin that is just not enough a 65, but is a gorgeuos example, gets put in there with the the coin that barely grades a 64. I think if a coin is really superb, I think it should be labeled as such IMO. NGC has done similiar to that with the * desognation, but I personally feel there are a few more holes that aren't really filled yet.

Don't get me wrong at all, I think that the grading system is great. But there can always be a little tweaking IMO every now and then. So, to some it up and answer the question "Why do I do it?" Because it was something new, and I like to give everything a bit of a chance. So, come and get me, I've borrowed Arizona Jack's flame suit, and I'm ready for it.

Doi, sorry. That's why I try to always label my posts with a bit of a disclaimer, because you never know how things can be taken, and not intended at all from what was really intended. Lol, sorry 'bout that man. :thumb: :hug:

tell your friend he has a very good taste for morgans! :thumb:

 

Nice coins, but this is what a MS 65 *PL looks like. Some of you have likely already seen this one. However, I like this coin so much that I thought I would share it with you again.

Funny thing was he didn't even know what he had, they were given to him many years ago by his grandma. He told me to sell them, but I doubt they will go anywhere but my own collection!

 

That is one PRIMO obverse on that 65 !!!!! Wow, look at that cheek !

 

i'm suprised he wanted to sell them since they were given to him by his grandmal. most of the time you'd want to keep stuff like that. i'd do the same if he wanted to sell them.
