Scuffs dont shimmer where new metal has been exposed deeply enough to have a gash of this nature. It is most certainly a crossed set of scratches...
I won't throw that around. I just wish there was more thorough info on the slabs. Seriously. Use the whole backside, forget the hologram and...
I'm going to keep it. The coin is nice and I understand things happen. This surely isn't the coins fault. I also want to hold on to it as it...
Not real comforting when hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars separate one numerical grade from the next, or possibly even two grades....
I mean I don't pay experts to miss things. Especially when their job is to look for issues EXACTLY like this. I mean their job is to literally...
These are the sellers photos. I'm still working on getting my photography setup finished. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I can handle the light...
It's deep enough to shine and draw your eye to it without any magnification. And yes, I don't think it was intentional necessarily, but more...
I was discussing why I don't particularly care for the TPGs and I was giving this coin as an example. It is an 1891 (fairly common) Seated...
It's not any better. It's like someone coming in for dental work from you and telling you exactly how to do the procedure, even though they have...
If he was TRULY reputable, he would have mentioned it. I say this all the time. I am in the food service industry, but this applies to any...
You are right, in fact we are right. My point is that the TPG, with all the trust they have from the collectors should be setting the example....
I will give you a very good example of what I am talking about. I just purchased an 1891 quarter in AU-58 as graded by PCGS, in their new...
I'm just wondering in say 50 years when all of these 'market acceptable' coins are possibly rejected by a slew of savvy collectors and the hatred...
I'm still perplexed at why we as collectors are letting the TPGs get away with what they are doing. They are harming the hobby as much as...
I agree with the second part entirely. The first half sounds like you are just making excuses for LD. Plain and simple. I got no gripe with him or...
Which just gives me an even bigger reason not to entirely trust their opinion. I rely on my own eyeballs at this point. Sure I'm still learning,...
Come on Doc, let's use our brains here for a minute. Gold doesn't tone that wildly to cover marks when it was noted on one holder, which protected...
You know I'm gonna have a little something more to say CBD, especially with how I feel about the TPGs. The only thing I seen wrong with your...
Oh I understand HOW it happens. Still doesn't make it right. Obviously the first graders decided they seen something to warrant the details. That...
Ironic isn't it? Especially when then very people blasting you don't even trust ICG themselves for the most part.
