That is part of the problem - they are grading accurately, BUT to their standards and not something like the ANA standards. And actually - not...
I was netting it at XF for the color and hits - should have made that clearer. I was thinking the color is hiding potential rubs on the high spot...
Yep - looks like one of those "cabinet friction" graded coins. Looks like a touch of rub on some of the high points. This is one I would ooh over...
Do you get to see it in hand? From the pictures it looks flat and lifeless like it has been re-colored. With the hits I see on it I would put it...
So you think tpgs are always right on the first go around? If this is what you think this is dishonesty you should never buy a graded coin. You...

I agree a nice original bust half. Second - from what I can tell on yours versus the one posted is your coin has slightly more details on the...
Well said - I don't collect moderns anymore, but I did at one point. Sold it all when gold and platinum was way up. Did nicely on those coins....
And that is when you call your insurance agent first. When this happened to me(hit by drunk driver and a police officer saw it happen) - the...
Hope it works out that way. Glad to see you got it worked out with PCGS.
I doubt it. :) Easy - just search for SGS. :) An you might just as well expect a like when you are "pushing up daisies". Which we all (well...
