That one certainly deserves a trip to CAC.

 

What was pcgs smoking! And thats a modern slab... Let's flip this, that's a hell of a cherrypick but imagine the guy who submitted it when he opened the blue box to find that piece of garbage label

 

Yep,pretty sure it's a fresh submission. It was one of my semi-local dealers, not only have I figured out what the codes mean on the stickers (which BTW tells me what the guy paid) but I can also tell what grade the guy was shooting for when he submitted. Which gives me an advantage in negotiations AND when I'm looking at common date Morgan's, Peace, Franklin's, Walkers, & Worshingtons. Needs to be a 65 to even be worth submitting, so if I see a nice looking 64, in a new holder..... Well, u know the rest.....

 

Sometimes it seems that PCGS is attempting to make up for the volume of previous overgrades at like a 40:1 ratio.

 

gotta go with rzage... 64 PL

 

I was solidly in the 64 pl category a good candidate for a crack out and resubmit in my opinion

 

I got this '81O ms63 about a month ago,and I was pretty excited to get it. NOW, looking at both coins side by side it's just sort of meh, not even in the same stratosphere as the new 63PL

 

I think that one's a little on the unfairly-graded side as well.

 

I think she's a beauty and would welcome her in my collection anyday .

 

Dave , is it just me, or is PCGS & NGC going more conservative with certain series since these new holder came out? I swear, every other coin I've looked at lately in the new format holders has been harshly graded

 

I see much the same, although between us we're just anecdotal evidence and the plural of anecdote is not "data."

On the other hand, there are coins like the "Bustie smoking a corncob pipe" in the other thread.....what's lacking is consistency. Egregious errors are appearing in their slabs. I fear both major TPG's are going down the "labor is the #1 controllable expense" path and cheapening/pushing/dumbing down their grader ranks.
