They don't. And NGC (which would, if they ever saw one) hasn't yet.
The coin actually appears much more attractive in these pics. Very nice!
Haha, well played sir ;)
If you understand what you are looking at, and if you are able to grade, and if you are able to interpret the photos, then using an archive of...
Don't grade based on my reputation. Grade the coin shown in the pictures ;) :P Just giving y'all a hard time.
The easiest way to put pictures is to simply drag them into the reply box, where you type. The software will upload them automatically for you....
I lost interest in the mint's production of quarters after South Carolina.... the first time.
I look at Heritage quite regularly to grade coins. They have a vast archive of graded coins, and I compare the coin in question to this archive. A...
Haha, brilliant.
For a Buffernick? Absolutely not. That is a really common coin, and not worth the time/expense of the trip. You can find a hundred of them online,...

The marks on the eagle's legs are too severe to get 66. 65 is where this coin tops out.
Each subsequent edition of the ANA guide codifies the gradeflation since the previous edition, and sets the new standard. Compare the 7th edition...
I'm going to call that shilling 64 and hope I'm wrong :( I know what you mean, about wanting to have the top pop coins. It is nearly impossible...
I highly encourage everyone to buy, use, and bring their own loupe. Every brand and magnification will have a different look and feel. Once you...
There was a thread about this over on the NGC boards, and the members there were extremely critical. It is an interesting read, for anyone curious.
