I think we are one the same page. I think I was just saying things wrong. I am not a fan of blast white and dark toning - so when looking thru a...
Same as everybody else sell individually. Something like large cents you might want to research a little - some varieties are worth some money.
Really nice coin. My grade would be a 64 - only because I can't get a feel for the over all luster on the coin, especially with that very last...
I have only seen pictures of stuff like this - I don't recall ever seeing one at one of the little local shows or dealers. I probably would have...
Exactly what I was just thinking and what I was coming to post after I went offline. I have actually been thinking about this for a while and I...
I just thought of something else - why did you stop at 64? And maybe call it a 62 because it is fugly. And this is possible a learning...
This is a very good example, because I typically do not look at dark toned coins. I usually flat out skip coins in the local dealer shops with...
That too me is a beautiful original coin. To me it is FR02 coin based off the pictures, but I really like its over all looks.
You can always crack it out and send it in yourself to see what PCGS says the second time. Good test if you don't mind spending the money.
You are definitely correct about using pictures. And it can be tough to tell what turned in a holder after it is looked at. And yes I do think...
I am not arguing what TPG's will do - I agree with you on that. What I am saying, and you answered it above - cac will sticker ugly coins. So...
Where and in what book does it say eye appeal is part of the grading process? And who decides what eye appeal is? Coins can be accurately graded...
Eye appeal has nothing to do with cac sticker. The only two I would have expected to fail is the IHC and the 42 walker - based off the pictures....
I would tend to agree with you. I notice this more with the newer PCGS and NGC holders(actually any TPG) than in the old slabs. Having said that...
Nice batch of coins.
If it was me I would return the coin if possible. I now look specifically for large cents without that kind of dirt or look around the devices....
Depends - ANAC's will label some that NGC and PCGS do not. Not all are the same. I also like the post by Chris. If I was getting something...
Looks like a button to me. My grandma used to talk about how hard it was to get some of them. She used to have a big old case with older fancy...
It can be fun submitting coins - sometimes even those not worth it. I understand the excitement. Nice batch of coins.
