That coin is an enigma and isn’t representative of TPG grading or CACs consistency. People need to chill out.
Wait, wait, wait... Are you talking about rainbow toned coins? Or are saying there are untoned coins with CAC greens that are getting 1.5 point...
For Example: [img] or [img] or [img] And all of these examples are from the first page of Heritage's 1880-S MS67 archive. None of these...
You also said that coins with excellent strike, Luster, and surface preservation will naturally have good eye appeal. The Barber Quarters I...
Holy necro thread!
Classic commems don’t usually have many marks and the grades are very luster dependent. I guessed MS66 because of the eye appeal but the assigned...
Number 4 is like the Energizer Bunny, still going!
I’m not sure that was intentional, but even if it was accidental from improper storage, the coin is still a problem coin in my view and is not...
Which two? The ones with CAC stickers? No doubt that ugly coins sell for less and pretty coins sell for more. The question is should eye...
Its a little softly struck but I still think it has enough for a gem grade. MS65
Can you at least post a link to what you are talking about? Is this the Mercury Dime?
Completely unnecessary comment, I sell good quality coins and don't misrepresent them. Furthermore, I wasn't the one who graded the "ugly...
The 68 is an MS66/67 without the toning, whoever graded that coin MS65 was drunk. Say what you want, those coins are tremendous and don’t look...
What I’m saying is they don’t look out of place in their new holders. If they were untoned, would they be 2 grades lower? I don’t think so.
I’m never gonna defend that coin, and I said so in the thread. Heck, the toning isn’t even that great.
Some of those coins in that thread looked to be undergraded based on their start grade. I feel like if you posted gtg for most of those coins,...
Can you show me an example of where a coin has been graded on eye appeal alone? You are claiming that the TPGs are bumping the grades 2-3 points...
There are plenty of lustrous, well struck coins with clean surfaces and butt ugly toning. The fact that the example shown above has terminal...
The ear on the obverse and the flatness on the eagle and arrows on the reverse look like incomplete strike. I don't see any friction in the...
I’m not criticizing, but am purposefully stating that my grade would be MS64+.
