Again, these are guarantees for the grade. The designation is not the grade. There is no policy for recovery of losses for a designation change is...
Nope. You always get stuck on this same thing. The point of the grading scale is not to identify the amount of wear. The point of the grading...
Market grading is an attempt to correct the obvious flaws in the Sheldon scale. I have a problem with calling an MS65 an MS67 (gradeflation), but...
Something being missed here is that they didn't regrade the coin, they did a designation review for the PL designation. The grade (MS64) stayed...
62. Muted luster with some market acceptable breaks for MS.
For Morgans it has to do with the date. If it's a date that has a lot of prooflike, the bar is raised for what gets the designation, especially...
I always pay way too much there as well, but the quality is always worth it.
Yeah, a lot of competition there. You try Macho?

Yeah I see. You can't dip this then. Best you could do is a soak in acetone and then an MS70 spot treatment for the obverse. My gut tells me you'd...
Yeah. Really, MS70 works miracles on hazy proofs. For other coins your mileage may vary. The safe bet here is that you'd need to dip it, and the...
If it's a fingerprint then it's not haze. If it were raw, you could try the MS70 as a spot treatment (because it likely would disturb that...
Here are some new pickups of mine: 1687 Coronation of Joseph I as King of Hungary Gilded Bronze Medal 30mm [ATTACH] A lovely coronation type...
Yes, exactly this. Everything you said is correct for this coin.
The obverse is a market acceptable unc. That's all that matters anymore.
Split grade, but I'm going with 63.
New. Good.
I'm at AU55 on this.
I think their grading is less consistent than NGC and PCGS and their slabs are ugly as sin. They are, however, really good at including a high...
Saflips are what you want. You can find them everywhere.
