And do we always agree now?
While that is true, it would be a separate grade. So there would be the technical one set by computer, and the subjective one, set by human...
Makes me think of those magazine ads from places like the Franklin mint pushing their "collectible" plates or dolls. Just another way to make you...
So here's a question: given that different TPGs apparently have different standards, which TPG standard grading scale is being used in the various...
No, I wasn't blaming grade inflation, although it bears a little of the blame. I was stating a hypothetical to say that I think TPGs stand to...
Say I have a MS64 coin but think it should be higher. I have also heard the TPGs have loosened their standards, plus there's the factor of grade...
And here I thought I was the only one. I go for the obvious. When I got the Morgan red book and learned about the 7/8 tail feathers, I had to...
I used Nic-a-date just to see how it affected the nickel, and of course to see the date. And I decided it was a good experiment, but I stopped...
Got it. Thanks.
Okay, the first thing I thought of was the lines were from an attempt to clean the coin. You know, hairlines all going the same direction. So...

Ok, why are you calling me out? I just wanted an answer to the OPs question as to the difference between circulated and Uncirculated.
So what is a wheat cent?
One thing the OP mentioned was not knowing the difference between circulated and Uncirculated. It's a good question, and something I've wondered...
I was. Given the fuss being made over the Stone Mountain coin, I thought it appropriate. And as part of a vacation in Atlanta, my new wife and I...
A couple of points. First, history is written by both sides. No one group has control over the history of their side, but each side is given a...
The takeaway I got from the quotes I posted was that back in 1941 what they saw then is what we are seeing today. Newbies and those who claim to...
Just got my Red Book covering Mercury dimes, SLQs, and Walking Liberty halves. Came across an interesting quote from the January, 1941 issue of...
Has anyone noticed that everyone except Bmmartin has gotten Likes for their posts? I wonder why.
But what I tend to focus on is the head details. That's the area I am talking about here.
