$2160 for a 1903-P $10 in MS63.
Sorry, but there is no way to provide meaningful advice based on those images. The coin could be AU or unc. and/or cleaned or not.
ANACS gets less "respect" because overall, there is less demand, less liquidity and lower prices for their coins. And many of the better, rarer...
I don't detect any animosity at all. If you can take advantage of such arbitrage, great. But it is far easier said than done, as many of the coins...
The reverse marks, by themselves, wouldn't automatically disqualify the Alabama from a 66. But those images don't allow for a good look at the...
Because if, for example, it grades less than MS62, you have paid too much, and will be compounding that by spending grading and postage fees. And...
We're in basic agreement, then. Part of my point was that if, for example, the coin might deserve a 64 instead of a 65, it would probably be...
As I posted to another thread very recently, the largest problem, by far with a grading guarantee, is that the company which graded the coin gets...
It looks uncirculated, but there is no way to tell for sure from that image. And it might have problems that can't be seen in the photo. You...
Thanks for the clarification.

I don't see how which company is stricter has much of anything to do with the quality of their grading guarantees. And the fact that PCGS...
The biggest problem, by far, with a grading guarantee, is that no matter how good it might sound, the grading company itself, gets to be the...
I suspected you were speaking of mirror-like areas (which are much more prevalent on Mercury Dimes). Anyway, they are almost certainly as made.
Your above statement is another good example of the ambiguity involved in these modifiers - "superb" often signifies MS67, but there is nothing...
I disagree. "Gem" can also mean better than MS65 and I have seen coins graded higher than MS65 referred to as such. Also, "choice" is often used...
Are you sure that the shiny patches aren't the result of mint-made die polishing?
Descriptions such as "gem", "choice" , etc. are ambiguous at best, and often misused and abused. Buying an uncertified coin can be more...
The seller probably strongly suspects that the coins wont grade the same (and maybe not even close) at a major grading company. If you want your...
It doesn't look PQ, based on the images, and at that price, you shouldn't even be thinking about the coin.
Separate names with a comma.
