Indeed. Here are two more coins. Both PCGS VF 25. First, one that CAC liked: [img] [img] Second, one that they didn't, but I still do: [img]...
Mystery solve! Well done guys. As an aside, I believe David Hall (DH) reviewed all your coins, and those comments are his own, as my...
To help get this thread back on track, here's another CAC coin: [img] [img] And a coin that did not get CAC approval, but I still think is a...
reverse scratch is on the slab, I'll wager.
NGC 66/67 is a thin line to begin with. Add pictures as our only data point and it makes it guesswork, IMO. Missing by one grade is nothing to...
I understood what you were saying the first time, but thanks for the explanation. As an aside, the investment in TPG grading and CAC is but a...
I never said they were. I included TPGs in my response because Medoraman alluded to them when he said: "CAC is only part of the group that has...
Medoraman, I resent the implication that I am somehow "brainwashed" because I support the CAC and/or TPGs. Furthermore, my rationale for...
Thanks for your response, Jblade. I would call PCGS customer service. It appears to me that you did order the service that should have cracked...
In hand, most of us should be able to tell a 67 from a 69/70. Looking forward to the pics....
Interesting. Thanks for your response. Now I'm a bit confused... Did you call PCGS customer service to ask about the apparent discrepancy? I'd...
Coin #2 is likely not quite so vibrant in person.
Expose for the frosted areas, and be sure the reflection off the shiny areas is black. You will likely need to introduce indirect lighting to the...
That is what it appears to my eye (machine/strike doubling).
They are both nice, but I prefer the more consistent color of coin #2. It also (at least from the photos) appears more lustrous.
I like photo #1 and 2 (I chose 1 for it's better contrast), but I think that you should try and get the mirrors to come out black as to best show...
A Ruben-free thread.... :) I have lots, but here's one I haven't posted in a while: [img] [img]
Ruben is, how shall I say it, an inventive pot stirrer. Even if I don't agree with practically anything he posts, I still like him. :)
An interesting and rather silly idea, IMO. No thanks. :)
I undergraded the last one. This one looks 66 to me and that's what I guessed. Certainly clean enough for a 66, but how's the luster. Toning...
