The word "gimmick" is usually used in a negative connotation to mean a trick, con, grift, ruse etc. There is no doubt that the coin registry idea...
Then the registry coin in the PCGS slab would have driven you nuts, one of the reasons I crossed it. [IMG]
I was in the threes at first glance, but considering the date, I am adding a full point. 4.5
Are there any grading companies that don't sell their services to the general public? You know perfectly well what I meant, and I don't see the...
Sometimes, when you post, I think we are the same person. It is scary how much we think alike. For the record, I bought this coin in a PCGS MS65...
When did I ever say that NGC & PCGS were too big to fail? If weathering the ups & downs and adapting to changing conditions is what determines...
Reveal: Coin #1: Well struck Toner--NGC MS65 $10 [IMG] Coin #2: Rainbow Toner--PCGS MS66 $40 [IMG] Coin #3: Blast White--NGC MS67 W $125...
I do think they are full. I don’t demand perfection with steps and can over look some weakness in spots or even shallow marks as seen here, I...

I think you read my mind! My first impression was 64, but that spotting knocked me down to 63, along with the fact that I have been one grade...
Reveal will be at halftime of the Ravens vs Steelers game guys!
Both TPGs graded the coin full steps, I bought it in PCGS plastic and crossed it to NGC plastic trying to get an upgrade and a star.
Here is the registry coin, anyone wanna take a crack at the grade before I reveal all four? [IMG] [IMG]
Don't worry, by the time they get to your coins, it will probably be after Christmas, and they will all be fat, drunk, and happy! My coins have...
They were harsh on this one. Based on those photos, it is really hard to understand why this coin only graded MS65.
Your evaluation of this coin is spot on, and it is higher graded than my registry coin but my registry coin has two things this coin doesn't have,...
The coin looks pretty clean but the luster looks completely muted. I can't see this going above MS66 RB for this common date. PCGS usually...
My first impression was MS64 RB, but since I was high one grade on both of your recent GTGs, I am guessing that the high quality photos are...
Wait till you see #4: The Registry Coin
It is pretty close, without the bridge of the 4th & 5th steps under the 2nd pillar, I think it would get it.
