Exactly, the coin looks polished to me. Mike
Well, I saw that one coming a mile away, since you always have a "point" to your threads. First off, I am in the camp that grading standards have...
I went with 65. Luster looks great and the hits on the obverse don't seem too bad. Mike
I think PCGS was a bit tough on that coin. I Think that coin grades VG8 all day long any day, and VG 10 on a good day. Mike
Hmm, so this "mistake" runs through your mind every time you think about buying something you know nothing about????? Well, $75 seems like a...
Yeah, I agree, the Worst coin mistake and you still made money. I'm calling shenanigans. I have made a bunch, let's see, buying over graded raw...

It looks like a cud to me, but it is small, so I don't think it would add much value to the nickel. Cool little find though :)
This is not true at all. An MS 70 coin is NOT a perfect coin as so many assume. MS70 is a RANGE just like any other grade. The range starts at...
MS65
I don't think anybody is saying the majority of microbids are used for that purpose, I just gave an explanation for some of them. I don't have any...
Well, I "microbid" on auctions and here it why. I don't have any intention on winning the item at that price, but it is my way of putting it on...
MS 66 All day long.....
