The price of the coin has very little to do with the grade, and everything to do with the eye appeal based on the toning. Acting like what you...
You all need to pipe down, and the idea that "insiders or select dealers" get better grades is just another in the long line of conspiracy...
While I agree with you, all the coins I collect are available in the mint state ranges, and since I don't run into this type of market grading, I...
This coin is not overgraded at MS65. It has MS63 surfaces with MS68 luster & eye appeal from the photos. Like baseball21 said, just because you...
While I hesitate to challenge your expertise on being "blatantly wrong", the TPGs provide professional opinions on the grade, you are some dude on...
Please explain to us how you slam PCGS for straight grading problem coins and then refer to one of those same coins to refute NGC’s net grade,...
I don't have any circulated cams, but how about and uncirculated coin with toning that creates a cameo appearance. I used to own an uber cool...
The quality of the 1957 Jeffs falls off a little but you do have the big star between LIBERTY and the date which is kinda cool. Both my 57's are...
Very cool quarter, here is an autumnal Morgan Dollar for the thread. [IMG]
Surprisingly, I actually kinda like this. The worst part other than the price is the horribly gaudy NGC red insert. Coca Cola stuff is very...
It shouldn't take anyone who knows what they are doing more than 1 minute to accurately grade a coin. If anything, it is the authentication part...
Well, that is where we diverge. Toning can change the eye appeal of a coin just as dramatically as luster, and when a coin has both dramatic...
I think you are reading too much into this. The 39-D had a pretty high mintage near 25 million and Denver dimes were being hoarded in the 30's so...
Agreed, impaired proof!
I really don't think that could be the reason for a several point drop. If the luster isn't affected at all by the dipping, then you might want...
While I agree that you shouldn't blindly trust TPG grades and you should always ensure that the coin meets your own personal standards for the...
The undisputed king of my Jefferson Nickel collection: [img]
Actually, baseball21 has a point here. If the original photo was the PCGS Truview as opposed to the GC photo, I would bet you that the guesses...
I can't speak for baseball21, but I think typecoin is an excellent grader. That doesn't change the fact that he is relentless in his criticism of...
And if the coin was actually an MS62 or MS63, it probably would have a consistent grade, but I think that everyone here, including yourself,...
