I don't understand. Why would you delete?
I've never used them, but it appears to be an Ebay-type affair. As for sellers that don't ship to the US - it might not be something they...
I'm fairly certain that this coin is not a proof. A proof would have a sharp, crisp strike. It should also have square rims. Your coin has...
The more you handle raw coins, the more likely you are to damage them. Any raw coin I have is only raw long enough to rinse in acetone, dry, and...
The TPG is the reference grade. It's the standard, and I'm judging CT's accuracy compared to the TPG. As you know, the TPGs have a wide variance....
I do like the reverse design, especially when it has strong black and white cameo contrast: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I will make sure I adjust polls up and down a bit in future threads. I don't want to include an "other" option, because that is impossible to...

Thanks for including the video so I can see how the luster behaves. I see absolutely nothing on this coin that indicates wear (no discoloration,...
Yes, there is a lot of detail on the portrait, but that seems to be the way a lot of these 1807 dimes wear. I personally like this one better at...
Two new threads are up! https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-official-grading-experiment-phase-2-3.355072/...
At the conclusion of Phase 1 around Christmas, I began to think that the photos I was using (from Heritage) might be biasing the grading guesses....
I showed it to Mark Salzberg at FUN and he agreed that it is clearly strong PL. However, it is currently in PCGS 64 plastic. Mark said he'd call...
I'd definitely go with AU as well. Maybe 55?
I don't see any wear, but there are a lot of marks on there. Too many for a 63. If I'm interpreting the pictures correctly, it does look like...

I am not a member of PCGS, and don't really want to pay the fee to become a member. However, I have a coin currently in a PCGS holder that is...
Separate names with a comma.
