Wait, wait, wait, I didn't post my 54s yet. 1954-P: My newest addition from last month. [IMG] 1954-D: [IMG] 1954-S: This coin is one of...
That 54-S is super clean and very well struck. I am out of town and will post my 1954 coins tomorrow night when I return. You are gonna love my...
Did that come from an old PCI holder?

For 99% of the collectors, blind trust of the TPGs is good advice. For the 1% who actually know how to grade, heeding the TPG grade instead of...
For series like Morgans, they are comparable, but for many series they are much more selective at the premium gem level. They require a much...
Oh no, I fell behind. I'm gonna post my 53's now and post my 54's on Sunday. 1953-P [IMG] 1953-D [IMG] 1953-S [IMG] Nothing really...

When I ask him to prove that PCGS straight grades cleaned coins more often than ANACS, saying that ALL TPGS do it doesn't not end the debate....
The coins you collect primarily reside in PCGS plastic, so yes, of course you are going to see more cleaned coins graded by PCGS. That doesn't...
That must be the TPG strategy to drive resubmissions. Give a ridiculously low grade the first time, incentivizing the customer to resubmit....
Prove it!
So much for the TPGs lowering their grading standards! The consensus on this coin was 1-2 grades higher than the assigned grade. Ask Doug to...
