coinnoobz - I don't think you understand at all. This is not true, not at all. As you were told once, neither one of those statements is...
You won't get any argument out of me on that account !
Ya think ? Here's the OP's coin - [IMG] Now here's 4 more of the same variety you listed - B-1/BB-142. Not a one of them looks like the OP's...
Extremely unlikely. As I said, the planchets were inspected and weighed before use, and were placed on the anvil die by hand. So a defective...
In my opinion, absolutely. I see coins that are over-graded that badly, by NGC and PCGS both, by that much and more on a daily basis. As I have...
Contact mark wise - yeah it qualifies as a 64. But none of you guys can see the wear on the hair, the cheek, the bust, the drapery, the ribbon,...
Were in agreement on that ! Both of his recent articles on this subject are nothing but a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
That was the very first thing I thought of when I looked at this coin - how does a coin get struck when both dies are covered with a cloth, or the...
No, it is not uncirculated, it is at best an AU53. But then the slabbed coin you posted a link to is not uncirculated either, I would say it is at...
Sent you a PM explaining how.
Kurt the issue you and I are discussing is quite simple and this is what it is - Do you realize that NGC and PCGS each slab over 100,000 coins a...
What BadThad said !
My opinion, there's not much you can do to help that coin. But if I was going to do something, I'd use Verdi-Care and let it go at that.
I'm not saying that Kurt, not in any way. Are there still raw classic coins out there ? Of course there are, but they simply don't exist in large...
But what I said isn't "cherrypicked". The explosion of the grade populations applies to all coins across the board, not just 1 or 2 examples....
Well John it sounds like for your purposes the catalog type would serve your needs. But I think you would be best served by the Standard Catalog...
I've been writing about and preaching about a universal set of grading standards being adopted and strictly adhered to for almost 17 years now....
I would first ask you the question - what do you want the books for ? I mean, what's your reason, what do you hope to have the books do for you ?...
LOL ! No Kurt, but that's certainly a good way of putting it. Merely that somewhere down the road we'll all know how they decided to handle it.
Ehhh - you can get any "pedigree" you want listed on the slab, assuming you are willing to pay for it. It appears that's what was done here.
