You can have an MS-64 that is better than most 64s, and that will get a bean. It is not affected by this proposed system. What we are talking...
I could get on board with this system. Then the Third-Party Graders would become Third-Party Appraisers.
So coins should be worth exactly what the holders say they should be worth? @ddddd I got some bad news for you
It is simple thin film interference physics. You get a nice rainbow in pure white light. Changing the light color (RGB composition) will change...
In the photos in post #61, I can see the reflections on the holder, and I can see the reflections on the coin. It is easy to differentiate the...
That is a result of the different composition of the lights incident on the coin. For example, if you have a blueish light, the the blues will...
The color (unnatural dull blue) and the texture of the surface (glossy) are classic indicators of an old cleaning. The texture never goes away
Not a single person, not even @GDJMSP , has said that coin should be worth AU money, despite whatever the technical grade is. It seems like no one...
But PCGS never uses and/or. I did. PCGS gives clear definitions of MS coins as “no wear” in some places and “never been in circulation” elsewhere,...
MS-64 MS-65
Is it already certified?
Judging from the first pic, it is indeed a CAM [ATTACH]
But PCGS defines coins in the 60-70 range at having never been in circulation and/or having no wear. So yes, it really does matter if we are going...
So there are two standards for MS: 1. No wear and 2. Never been in circulation. The second one is in favor so that coins with wear can be given...
I like how they go from an uncertain descriptor to a certain one. I also like how they grade coins which are known to have been pulled from...
It has the fuzzy look of a Chinese fake. I will say that this coin is fake
If NGC and PCGS come out and publicly make that their official standard, then I would be okay with that. As said previously, standards evolve over...
There are no grading standards whatsoever in ancient coins, and approximate grades are given just for cataloguing purposes. Guess what? Everything...
No, it is wrong to value them the same. Not a single person worth their salt would disagree. However, due to misinformation, we live in a market...
I see several wheat cents. Fun finds for sure!
