So, CAC coins are shown to fetch a premium in a study.... Ruben, true to form, uses this as a validation of his theory they add artificial...
I neither love nor hate them. I'm fairly neutral on them.
Yeah, Marshall, that's what I understand as the process too. What I was referring to is why they don't design a process do it right, particularly...
Second set makes the coin look much better, and I found myself going from negative to positive upon reviewing the second set of photos. Congrats...
If that's less than a 66, I will be surprised. If it grades less than 65, I should probably consider collecting a different series. lol My...
I don't consider myself a "big gun", but I would answer your question with "extremely unlikely". I've never seen that type of toning on a GSA...
It's at times like that when I try to remember we were all ignorant once, and remain ignorant of what we don't know. :) Thanks for the...
Paul, I just kind of laughed at you before. Now I'll ask you directly: Do you really think that you're the only one that understands the...
Foiled by the slightly muted luster....again. lol
There are many instances of "relative grading" when it comes to TPGs.... GSA CC morgans are one. Key dates are another. Hoard coins are a...
Collectors would be wise to question ANY TPG's attribution. For some reason which is beyond me, they are simply not good at it.
Whoever submitted that coin got hosed (and so did I)! :) How's the luster on that coin? Any guess as to why it only got a 66?
Great post, Paul!
I've never seen one of those before!
I find the reverse toning a bit distracting, to be honest. However, you buy coins for you not me, so congrats on your NEWP and I hope you enjoy...
lol
p.s. the first coin in question seems to me to be an example of the CC grade bump -- but remember we're looking at a crappy Heritage photo.
Or, perhaps, you're not as good of a grader as you think you are -- and you're using a photo.
Some die polishing still showing suggests a less than LDS luster, but I think the coin is clean enough to have gotten a 67 grade from NGC. I...
I think you are being too critical. Look at other coins in 65, and I think you will see the marks are completely consistent with others in that...
