Nice! I once thought about putting together a subset of classic commemoratives with ships, but didn't complete it. The Hudson was one that eluded me.
@Paddy54 you're up... Points table: ddddd - 39.26 Points Beefer518 - 31.26 Points baseball21 - 26.61 Points heavycam.monstervam - 23.51 Points...
@philjam and there is your answer on how this particular coin was sold.
I believe he said the 64 pl looked worse than the coin he had (the 64 that became a 66 pl). I’m guessing the coin had a combo of luster breaks...
Here were the threads...I guesses 65 PL on it originally https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gtg-80-s-1.331750/...
Well you started by saying there is no proof. So we have found some proof. I agree it’s more prominent on rainbow toned coins, but it happens on...
I’ll see if I can dig some up; I’ve certainly heard of it happening and @CircCam just posted one of those that I recall. As for me, I’ve not...
That's hardly proof as it's not even it's own thread and at best a few people are looking into it (and even less are sharing their results)....
@cladking is the person you are seeking. And I don't think he'll love you calling them "crap coins" :p Also, some of these dates are very...
eBay, various auction houses (like Great Collections/Heritage/Stacks/Legend/etc),the forum for sale section, coin shows....it all depends on what...
Yep...I believe you were closest to 64 at 63+ and the rest of us all said 63. I’ll update the standings later on.
My stance is that there shouldn’t be positive or negative influences (just stars and pluses...and maybe minuses). However, if we decide that...
Even if it is just for toned coins, it’s still an issue when a coin goes up 3 grades and still earns the same green sticker. Also, there is no...
The holders without a grade (like this one) are usually bulk gradings done by dealers. They can request a minimum grade and anything under that...
@Lehigh96 here is another fun example Green CAC at 65 PL and green CAC at 68:...
It’s the one I had handy. The 1938-S Dime that sold for over $300k stickered as both a 67+ and 68+. Then we had a Peace Dollar that was QC (and...
It’s likely the 65+ we keep going back to. Yes I recall that you considered it undergraded, but CAC only gave it a green sticker at 65+. At 67+...
You can see the result on page 3 (MS 66).
What’s interesting with those is that CAC found two of them to be solid for the grade (A or B). They for some reason do reward “originality” even...
The grade appears fair and it’s a nice coin. I realized one of the marks was on the slab but was almost certain the other was on the coin, which...
