1973-S Proof Cent

It’s a 70 because it’s a proof I guess.

Who is IGS? I'm not big on TPGs but it's not one I've heard of. They don't seem to be that great with the grading IMO. All those blotches and stuff.

 

I don't collect slabbed coins and know very little about grading, but I would expect a proof to have better centering. Or is the centering an illusion?

 

It's the KMart of grading companies.

They are a basement grader. Terrible grades on not so nice coins.

 

Holy crap! What a list.

 

I'd give someone a buck for it.

 

Wonder if they ever graded 5,192,622 coins or started at the 5 million mark.

 

I think it's an optical delusion. The holder is hiding the rim.

My guess is that the spots came years after being slabbed. I wonder how it appeared back in the day.

 

As presented one of the ugliest coins I have seen.

 

LOL

 

I don't think it would rank that high.

 

I saw a 1922 Buffalo nickel graded MS70 by them.

Just kidding, but I wouldn't buy any thing slabbed by them for their grade. "Buy the coin, not the slab."
