Here's the last of my NEWPs. Please guess the grade that PCGS assigned to the following coin: [img] [img] Have fun....Mike
Here are two more NEWPs. Please guess the grade of the first coin (PCGS graded it), and predict what PCGS will grade the second coin (it is raw):...
Attached below are two of my NEWPs. Please guess the grade of the two large cents below. Both are graded by PCGS: [img] [img] [img] [img] The...
That sounds like you got it right to me. Well done. :) Perhaps you missed your calling. ;)
I've got a few more on the way in an hour or three. Freshly photographed. I think you'll like them.....Mike

Sorry, I mistyped my response. Please take another look at the edited version. Also take a look at the photos and tell me if you still think the...
Here is a second photo of the coin that shows this wear (and I suspect you all would have graded the coin quite differently from these photos)....
Lol, either you guys are terrible graders, the pics confused you, or PCGS is WAY off... They graded the coin MS 63, I suspect for some slight...
Ms 64
