The first of four PCGS-graded packages arrived today. This being my first TPG experience, I fully expected a congratulatory fly-over to...
Given the strike, the obverse chatter (more like prattle) is tragic. MS-61.
I find Fairview's grading infuriating yet humbling. Everytime, at first glance, I think the offered cent is a pristine beauty, he slaps a...
In respect for a dear friend who retrieved several "skinny pennies" (or "cents" for you insufferable numismatic pedants) from the sewers of...
PF-64. Wherever you're geting these Libertys, next time take me along!
I'll waffle. 64+. A stunner of a Liberty!
By way of introduction, I am loath to cleaning coins. Still, there are many beauties in my collection that are simply crud-inflicted. Would...
Really? MS-64 FBL? Really?!! That's one inexplicable grading stumble for NGC; one giant reason for taking my TPG business elsewhere.
MS-65+. I'll easily overlook the minor obverse bag marks for given the luster and obverse and strike detail. A beautiful specimen by any measure...

As expected: See: "Head, Doody." Let's all wait for PCGS's second call. In the meantime, keep chasing that silver...why, it's almost like numismatics.
It's spelled "C-a-m-a-r-o" - the numismatic prosecution rests...

Amen! Where can I get one of those ANA-qualified grading-eye dogs? Well, at least your repartee didn't include the rejoinder "doody head." Let's...
Despite the irrelevant triple RPM/reverse-ding myopic numismatic palaver... should some bleary-eyed, anonymous PCGS grader grant this coin...
MS-67 - a stunner!
Call it what you will but this stuff and similar Botox rejuvenators are pure poison to numismatics. Sadly, some will always pursue shiny objects...
The "oopsie!" reveal notwithstanding: Green CAC on coin - just doesn't deserve it.
(Ex post facto/reveal-o) I confess to being lousy at grading gold - but thankfully I have have lots of company. I gave this an MS-64 w/o apology.
