Both on grade and possible Apparent problems, in this week we had several ct members nail the
Grade at F-15 but werent able to guess any Apparent problems although we did have a couple
Come close they werent able to name all three! so we dont have a winner this week so the current
Standings to date or:

Krispy...................3 Wins
Steve-In-Tampa.....1 Win
Texas John............1 Win
Stumped ..............1 Win ( This will be for the times that no correct guess was given)

Thanks everybody for playing!

I will try and post round 6 as soon as i can !

 

Whoa! Design redrawn. didn't catch that. Do you have a close up scan of that area for more detail?

Thanks for another challenging round.

 

Thanks for another grading exercise Rusty. Just goes to show you cannot trust grading by pictures no matter what your experience level is.

The way I see there are two issues with this note not three. I mentioned the tear in my guess and still wonder if pcgs would have given a 20 in not for the second issue. The redraw is the reason for the apparent grade imo so they could be considered one in the same. By all means correct me if I am wrong.

Look forward to the next note.

 

Hey Chris, i think what they are talking about here is the area just to the right of the chin
You can see it pretty clearly but you wouldnt think it would garner a apparent grade in
The details, i will try and see if i can come up with a pic detailing that area

 

I updated your guess, my mail box was full and i tried to write down everything before it was deleted
Sorry about that Darryl! and your right with out the tear it would have been upgraded to atleast to
VF-20 but it still would have received the apparent grade due to the design being redrawn on
The face.
