I'm pretty sure they (NGC) just run the number against all other numbers currently in the registry and if they find that the coin is already...
That seems unrealistic to me. I think it would be better to instruct people to vote for their grade before reading the comments of the thread to...
This coin has satin luster with what appears to be a milky patina. I agree with others that it is very clean save the significant mark in the...
So you are saying that any photo that doesn’t mesh with the assigned grade may not be accurately depicting the appearance of the coin and should...
It begs the question, is the TPGs “screwing the pooch” 1 out of 25 times a typical grading event? A sample this small is bound to have a higher...

What you have highlighted there are bag marks, which are not considered wear. If you are grading the coin AU, then by definition, you are saying...

Please guess the assigned grade of this PCGS Franklin Half Dollar and vote in the attached poll. Thank you! [img] As always, comments welcome!
We have a winner, I bought the coin from Heritage for $176 and sold it for $250. Actually I find the reverse of this coin to be rather ugly, but...
