He has a set of MS70 1939 p,d and S also

 

Not sure you can trust those grades. I know I wouldn't. SGS Grading... who are they???

 

I know you can't trust this grade, no Lincoln cent ever graded over a 68 (that I know of)

 

Correction: PCGS-MS69 1919p

 

sgs grading service are not comparable they will slab any coin literally

 

not worthg it

 

I agree with you on this. Almost every MS-70 coin they grade is anything but. Anyone who has more than a very basic understanding of grading could grade coins better than SGS. Sad but true. SGS though does give very fast service and communication. I've dealt with them directly over Ebay and was pleased, the only thing is their coins are not graded correctly (at least to my standards).

 

The particular seller the OP referenced has a few SGS slabs thrown in with his overpriced raw coins. He has a bunch of low grade melt value Peace/Morgan dollars with BIN's of $60+; I shake my head in amazement that he can sell any of these at the prices he's listing them for:

There has been a 70 cent but I think it was downgraded to 69.

 

The '35 D looks like a 65 BN. The only keeper IMO

 

I meant to say "lincoln wheat cent" but that's cool, Ididn't know a 70 got a 70 But seriously, he has six ms70 coins for sale and I didn't even bother searching the rest of his stuff beyond the first page. I would like to see that companies written grading description.

 

Checked this coin out… in 2006 this coin sold for $15,120 on teletrade. It indeed was downgraded. PCGS value is now at $85. Im guessing someone was a little upset? or does PCGS step in somehow and refund him due to the price difference. I could definitely see them doing this to protect their reputation.
