I have tried to do better, but this is what I have for Cromwell pieces. A 1652 Commonwealth Shilling [ATTACH] [ATTACH] And a 1658 Cromwell...
Because when I looked at the close-up photo of the 1885-S, I did not care for that coin as an MS-65, 66 or 67. Why are you so angry at that? Is it...
It's like you don't even read what I wrote. You just spew venom and deal in personal attacks. Okay, I’m done with you. I just put you on...
I have purchased coins in the newer slabs that are perfectly okay. Just like it's always been, you have to pick out the better material. Here are...
It's interesting that you single me out when there are many other posts here that have graded the coin MS-63 or lower. What is your problem with...
Sadly, I'm only reporting what I have seen. Two of my most valuable coins are in NGC holders. I have a vested interest in seeing the company...
I have similar concerns. I don't like the shape of the dentiles in the 4 k area on the reverse. Regardless, the surfaces been rubbed or cleaned...
My grade would be an MS-63+. I see a light scrape, from the reeding of another dollar, running down Ms. Liberty's cheek. PCGS probably called it...
These Buffalo Nickels are a clear example of how a coin can be preserved, virtually as it left the dies, and still only grade MS-63. Some coins...
All of us, who have some expertise in grading, can see that the TPGs are engaged in grade-flatiron. My goal has been to at least try to slow it...
In the U.S. series, the fact that a counterfeit is a copy of a common date in circulated condition makes no difference. The Chinese have hundreds...

There is an MS-63 coin under all that color, but i’m sure if graded higher.
Good luck and have fun! I finished the NGC type set a few years ago.
These days it’s coming down to the PCGS-CAC combination or nothing for a lot of collectors who spend big money. The NGC-CAC combination doesn’t...
I am not a "toner guy." I will not pay stupid money for toning. I will pay premiums for attractive orginal surfaces. As for those two dollars, I...
If it does not bring MS-66* in the market, it's really an MS-66*. Overgraded material in holders sells at discounts between dealers all the time....
You need to show both sides, but from what I can see, I think that it is real.
In my experience, both PCGS and NGC started out grading very conservatively. This is why you see people going ga-ga over coins over “rattle...
