As 2024 concludes and 2025 approaches, I once more bring back the tradition of showcasing the top 10 additions of the year. As you will see, the...
67 5FS ....luster and minimal marks is enough to get it to 67 (and it's nicer than the last one, which was a 66....of course that does not mean it...
65 5FS ...steps are there; as for the grade, it looks a point weaker than all of the prior ones so that meant 65 to me
Bank wires between people just aren't common and there is usually no recourse if something goes wrong (although the odds of something going wrong...
I think the wire part could be a hard sell. It might be different in Europe, but in the US that tends to raise red flags. The most common payment...
I have seen them before but not often. Cool find!
This one looks nicer than the previous two and the five steps are there, so I went MS 66+ FS ....two things kept me from going MS 67: the scrape...
And just like Ed Wood, I nailed it! :p
I voted before checking the reveal at MS 66 not FS (seems to be the same case as the first one)
I will support @Lehigh96 's honesty as I recall previous threads where his vote was different from the revealed grade (and he is an honest one in...
TLDR version: it's complicated; there are good, bad, and average coins in all slabs; see bottom for some nice coins.....but better yet, read the...
MS 66 not FS....fields are clean; rim worries me a bit (even if it is not damage, I think it detracts from a higher grade)
It does seem to have AU details but that dink could be the reason. And you are wise to not play the regrading game (at least with this coin, as...
Anacs is better in terms of fees, especially if you submit on one of their specials. And they are solid, especially when it comes to Morgans. I...
Nowadays you are correct but in the early days of grading services it was more common. At one point there were only three "common" grades:...
I would say it's a 64 (65 if lucky and 63 if the divot mentioned previously is significant in hand) ....I would likely not send this to grade. As...
I was thinking between XF 45 and AU 50....ended up going with AU 50 (no Ed Wood here :p).
MS 61 ....I could see 60 to 62 and decided to go in the middle....lots of bag marks/chatter; given that it's one of the older ANA slabs, I think...
AU 55 ....obverse looks super strong and I'm guessing the reverse is a weak strike (initially I was thinking it was an XF grade but the obverse...
Finally got around to this... 1,2, & 7 were my "no" votes 3,4,5,6,8,9,10 were my "yes" 5 steps votes 1 and 2 were the ones I was most confident...
Separate names with a comma.
