Oh, something simple Paul, it's called logic. Every single business strike coin released by the mint for use in circulation has been put into...
Ahhh, forgive me, I worded the quote incorrectly, though what I said does convey the same meaning. As I said in post #147 what it should be is -
Then please read the forum rules regarding how you are permitted to do that - and NOT do that.
Until 2001 NGC would not slab any coin that was minted after 1964.
The thing that is an absolutely absurd example is PCGS saying "technically not in circulation".
Paul, tell me if you can see high point wear on this coin ? [IMG] [IMG]
Take a look at the coin in the post directly after yours that Paul posted in the 58 slab, then tell me it doesn't meet that definition you...
Uhhhhh yeah, and what is the title of this thread again ?
Best bang for the buck ? Guess that depends on how you define that. Common date Saints graded as high as 63 and sometimes even 64s now, can be...
So now you know what my point is, even after I have defined it, better than I do ? :rolleyes: Gimme a break Paul, I never in any way claimed any...
Yes it could. And almost all MS coins do have marks, blemishes, bag marks etc. And a great many of them receive those marks, blemishes, etc etc...
You're right, that is exactly the problem. All those people you're talking about, they don't want their coins graded AU, they want MS. So that is...
Not at all. As I said - So what would you grade that coin ? And if gold is "so soft" then why did it take 7 years, 7 days a week, of continuous...
How does PCGS define circulation Paul ? They define it as a coin being used in commerce. That coin was never used in commerce. And I did say...
Nope, all I'm suggesting is that people use their heads and think. And maybe, check out a little bit of history. Paper coin rolls are one...
The thing about theories is, some of them are true. Yes, you can go to a grocery store and get a coin out of the cash drawer, send that coin into...
They are not on the same page at all, not even close. If you read the ANA grading book, and read the PCGS grading book - they are entirely and...
Correct.
Let me ask you a question Paul, how many Saints were ever even in a paper roll ? And just because they said it, that does not make it true.
Based on the pictures, no. An in hand exam might change my mind. I was merely expressing my opinion based on the info available - what I can see...
