They would have labeled it MS Details, but the coin is not eligible for Mint State because it is a Proof.
I don't think it's been due to "sketchy" grade decisions, but rather the market has determined that their level of expertise is not equivalent of...
I see it as a credibility issue.
ronnie, have you ever wondered why a coin in a PCGS slab or an NGC slab sells for more than the same coin in a ANACS or ICG slab? The same...
if it is a normal strike, I suspect that someone placed it in a proof box and capsule after having removed the proof coin.
good point, TC. You're exactly right. I sit corrected. I still think that a picture is the best way to solve the problem
you're ignoring an important issue. when the coin is slabbed the surfaces are protected from contact by varying factors. Once the sufaces are...

The coin that you have sounds like a burnished uncirculated version. It comes directly from the Mint in a box and capsule, but resembles the...
The coin is normal, but has been damaged. Worth 25¢
@baseball21 is absolutely right. There is added value when a coin is entombed in a slab. That value ceases to be when the coins are broken out...
from these pictures, I'd say AU 55

The grading service said that is IS a MPL. That is not in question.
Proof details. This is another assumption, and both of which I have made are dangerous, it's like MS details, but it's not MS, it's Proof.
Proof details would, IMHO, mean that the coin is indeed a proof and has a details grade.
Welcome to CT Matt! There’s not a person here who hasn’t made a mistake. We help because we care, we tease because it’s fun. :)
Never mind cracking them out. Have you ever tried to sell one as it is in the IGS slab?
I agree. My comment was offered a bit tongue in cheek. That said, the transparency that separates us from the rest of the world often puts us in...
