That is very disappointing news, but not entirely unheard of. If you believe it the coin, consider resubmitting it, or try NGC, who tends to be...
TPG grade 65
VF details with some surface issues netted down to F.
Detecto, I think you're confusing light strike for wear. IMO: TPG grade AU 58 or 55. EAC grade XF 45, net 40.
Very nice collection & thanks for sharing it!
64 or 65
Thanks Paul. James is a great guy, and I've bought many of my best Ikes from him over the years. What I think is most impressive about James'...
Thanks Lee.
FWIW, here's a photo of my 65: [img] To the point made above to Ruben.... You should immediately note the coin has LESS planchet chatter than...
We can all be wrong, no worries. Thank you for admitting the possibility. :) In point of fact, this very issue (the "rough" nature of Ikes)...
Because there are hundreds if not thousands of GSA toned Morgans that look just like it, with no question as to their provenance. However, what...
Two points. First, that's not a bag-toned Morgan. Second, I'll wager the "damage" was a fresh, bright scratch -- quite different in both...
Ruben, If you think the coin posted by the OP is a "slider" (as in AU/MS slider), I would suggest you've not looked at enough NGC/PCGS graded...
A slider? AU? Damaged? The coin was cut from mint packaging. The TPGs will call that coin uncirculated. The ticks and taps you see are mostly...
Ruben, I use tuppeware containers. Slabs and desiccants go inside. Not 100% airtite, but airtite enough.
Nice coin. I like it. I'd TPG grade it about 30. EAC a few notches lower, 20ish.
The type of toning (no-brainer bag toning) over the hits virtually guarantee the hits occurred while in the mint bag. PCGS, in virtually all...
Yes, of course, and I have for many years. Why wouldn't you be able to?
In my opinion, there is no book or online resource that will teach you how to grade like the TPGs do. The only way to get that skill is to look...
I like the coin posted by the OP, and the price wasn't half bad either.
