Sure thing, I'm gonna contact the guy I sold it to 5 years ago and ask him if I can have it back so you can see better photos. It isn't my...
Yeah, they both give me that feeling, so wouldn't it be prudent to stick with the coin that everyone is likes? I think it is universal that Coin...
This is from that group, are you suggesting that I send this to PCGS "as is"?
I think if you photographed it, you would change your mind. The coin has fantastic target toning on the obverse with bright yellow at the...
This coin is tough to grade. The surfaces look very clean and are definitely premium gem, and I would say MS67 level. The problem is that PCGS...
The problem is that they both have a quality that bothers me. Coin #1 is overgraded, even though I understand why it is graded the way that it...
A few very minor ticks in the obverse focal area but otherwise very clean. Weak strike typical of 50’s S mint coins. I don’t see any prongs so...

I only provide 500px x 500px for my gtg threads and these guys still kill some of my coins with punishing grades.

My thoughts are that the coin looks much better in hand than in my photos which don't at all do justice to the luster. The fingerprint is large...
The obverse is 66, but I think the hit on the eagle's breast keeps it at MS65.
That coin is tremendous and it is fantastic to have a gtg thread with photos of this quality, though I think the large size is going to magnify...
The way this thread went, I feel like dropping the reveal is akin to cropdusting a group of people with an sbd. [IMG]
It figures, the first time I try my new system, I run into a Rattler!
Excellent analysis!
Everytime I gtg of a PL coin, I’m under by one grade. As a consequence, I am now adding 1 grade to my initial impression. My first instinct was...
