No way it's MS66

something is fishy

Nothing fishy here, it really is funny, especially when you slapped it on the viper logo.

 

I see a coin and a PCGS label, but not a coin in a slab. I wouldn't give that morgan over 63.

 

It looks like a FISH! There is something fishy. Should we stick with Google jokes? I need help here...

Ruben,

DON'T PANIC

HHGTTG

 

ROFL , That moving CAC sticker looks like a moving target at a carnival .
rzage:whistle:

 

The power of the gimp. I wanted to do it as a PNG though and it wouldn't go even though it has layers...

Ruben

still looking for the darn mouse...

 

One thing to think about too is some of those marks might be on the slab. Based on the label, that looks like a pretty old slab...I'm sure all of us have seen slabs that are pretty marked up over the years. Look at the mark over Liberty's chin...it appears to run through the field and the chin as if there is no difference. I'll bet that is a scuff on the slab and not the coin. If this coin is scanned (as I suspect), that bright light could highlight the marks on the slab. Now, I certainly wouldn't buy this coin without seeing it in hand...but remember, it is a 1881-S. With that date, the TPGs are super tough with their grading because it is renowned for having excellent strikes and they made a bunch of them.

 

like a fish in a bucket...

 

It's PCGS. Professional Coin Grading Service. I haven't seen you post the initials right one time. If you're looking for credibility, you might at least want to spell their name right.

BTW, 11 of 25 threads at the top right now were started by you. Is there really that many interesting things you have to talk about? Oh yeah.....that's just on this forum.

 

I'm way past credibility. I'm at that point on the creditibility worrying stuff that I don't worry about it anymore. They should have less initials.

In any event...thanks for the polite tip..

It is in Alphabetical order, but I did it backwards..

not

PSGC but PCGS

But frankly, if they graded that as a 66 then its not I who has to worry about credibility.

They can use a validation process.

Have you verified that it's even authentic? Look at the L's in dollar. Are they always like that? Is one 8 always bigger than the other 8? Does the 'S' mint mark look right? Look at the top of the second "U" in Pluribus. Both side of it look screwed up.
If it is real, is it possible somebody cracked the old one out and replaced it with another one that is not MS-66? Who's selling it? Have we verified the serial number? Is the slab genuine? These are questions that come up in modern day collecting.

Maybe it's that bad for a reason? Or, we can play the "blame PCGS game" without knowing the answers to why this looks like this.

What's wrong with the "I" in Liberty on the head band? Look at it. I don't think this is even genuine.

 

I can't even see that I. Are you speaking of their coin or mine, because mine is very real...

Ruben

 

Look how short and fat the T is in United, compared to the next coin you posted. Or even the other T's on the reverse for that matter.

I really question the authenticity of it now. Maybe somebody will look at this and can explain how I'm wrong.

 

I'm looking at the coin in post #2.

 

Yeah that is his. I can see anything really in the crown to make any judgments.

Ruben

 

I don't know. It kind of looks better in his pics than the one's you blew up in post #2. The I looks right. The U doesn't look as bad. Chances are it's real, but who knows? The other possibilities aren't out of the question. He could have obtained it from somebody else and doesn't know the difference.

Or, maybe it is just better in hand. From the pics, it looks like a rough MS-66 but that is grading at a level that we most likely can't appropriately grade, using pics on a computer monitor.
