Granted the photos are a little out of focus, but from what I see you are being to hard on that coin. I grade it MS65 and it would seem that you thought it was a lock at MS65 with a chance at MS66 based on your buy price of $200.

Lehigh96,
I bought it off E-bay about three years ago. That was one of about three things I ever bought on the Bay. I looked up NTC, they didnt seem bad on the face of things. So I bought it expecting to see a MS-67 coin. I got burned. I buy my coins from a wide range of venues and there is always some risk involved bad lighting at a show Etc. I win all the time cherry picking morgans from dealer stock. So its just a mistake I made. Somebody mentioned NTC and I wanted to warn them.

Thanks for posting,

Steve

 

Haha I forgot that one. And good call on that I just won this auction.

You have some extremely sharp details on that coin. Although I'd question it being a MS62, that is one of the hardest series in numismatics grade, PCGS might give that coin a 58 while NGC gives it a 62, along with ICG, and if you send it to ANACS you might get a 63, you could get a 61. With coins like that, all TPG are very inconsistent, and it is pretty rare that if you send a coin to another company in a different slab, the grades will hardly ever be the same.

 

LOL! :mouth:

 

OK I know this is an old thread but it had information I was looking for. I saw a TPG I have never seen before on a site that I was grabbing some Ikes on. So I did a best offer and then counter offered the counter offer. Either way I got this..


Now I bet it is not a MS63 for sure and after this thread, I would guess MS60 max. However maybe I will get lucky. Ask was $20, I got it for $12.50, purely on the 'want to see it' reason.

 

How can you get lucky? $50 silver tomorrow?

 

Hate to be the one to say it, but that was not a good deal. These 64's are so common that they're worth about a buck or two above melt, and that's about what 7 or 8 dollars? Well anyways,

"There's no such thing as a mistake only happy accidents."

 

Oh no guys, do not misunderstand me, it was not a good deal at $12.50, I just wanted it and it was in a TPG I did not have. By lucky, maybe it is a MS63 and not a MS60.

 

You re-opened an eight year old thread? Why? And where the devil is Cloudsweeper. I miss the sod.

I know. Hope all is well with him. I miss his commentary.....

 

It is what came up in a search about the TPG?? Why is there are rule against it if it is pertinent?

 

Just realized this thread is eight years old......

Again with the mentioning of the long gone. It's over.

 

Maybe. Wish they'd return. Knowledgeable and helpful. I've got to stop living in the past.

 

Wouldn't it be easier for all of us if they made a new thread? I get your point, and I know there were a ton of good poster's back in older days of cointalk, but wouldn't most of the information be outdated by now?

 

Ethan,

NTC has been around since early 2001. It was connected with a Florida coin dealership called Rare Island Coins. They are now located in New York. But it did expand into a TPG and not just a basement slabber because they did accept outside submissions. They have had four different generations of slabs. The most recent being introduced May 1, 2013. I think yours is NTC 3. Not being PCGS or NGC they are typically dismissed out of hand.
