I wish I still had my mis graded 1955s wheaty they put 1955s MS-69 on it. I'll see if I can find a picture.

 

I really didn't see the need for them to net grade this coin.

 

Now that needs to be resubmitted

 

That would be nice

 

This ones under a bit

 

PCGS 1942 D/D VF30 Jefferson. Either it's an extremely bad strike, or the grader's light had burned out. The reverse looks like pure mush.

 

I can't see anything that jumps out unless those parallel lines are hairlines from perhaps a wipe? I think i see light lines running 3-4 to 8-7 across the cheek and upper neck... or am i just imagining things?

 

I still haven't figured out why this is graded MS63.

 

@messydesk are those die lines running through L(IB)ERTY? If they aren't scratches maybe? If you paid 63 money for it, who cares tho

 

I don't have the coin in hand, but between IB is probably die polishing lines or coloration. There are a few marks on ERT, but the prime focal areas are clean and the luster is good. As you imply, however, if I paid 63 money for it, being high end or undergraded is a bonus I'll gladly take.

 

It is my understanding that the assigned grade is always the better side. There was a time way back when, when the coin received both side grades. Like MS63/61.

 

Nice to see you in these parts, Messydesk.

 

This one really bugs me

 

How about an MS coin in an AU holder? It didn't bother me too much since AU58 coins are generally in demand. It's just when it comes time to sell, no way I'm giving it up for an AU price.

 

Low balled dang that's at least a 64 64+

 

Murdered???

 

I think it's actually the other way around. In other words, if one side is a 63 and ones a 61, the coin will get a 61. This will happen virtually always if the lower grade is the obverse, since the obverse carries more weight. There are some background factors though like how old the piece is, rarity, etc perhaps.

 

Yeah, they must have taken out a high powered microscope to find any wear on that one

 

I know why, but I don't agree with it.
