It's an impaired proof. You can see the mirroring in the fields right around Monticello in the first image as well as the very sharp and distinct...
It looks like an impaired proof.
I agree. They must be down a lot of graders. I think they have done some new hires and they are just out of training and seem to be grading very...

Can you imagine the turnaround times if PCGS did a submission special like that? It would probably be around 12 months or so to get your coins...
Gold is tougher for me to grade, because it's softer and they allow more hits because of that. But I'm at MS-63 on this as well.
I like those Type B Washington Quarters. I was bidding on Heritage on an unattributed 1960 in PCGS MS-66 but someone else spotted it as well. It...
You nailed the grade right on the head. I'm curious as to how you came up with MS-67+? I'm honestly interested.
Here are my latest. I just picked them up from my favorite B&M. 1923 Peace Dollar VAM-1V it looks like it might grade at MS-60 or 61. It's had...
Next time offer him $40.00 to unburden him with all of his "Tarnished and Stained" silver. Tell him normally you wouldn't do better than $35.00...

This is why I love frequenting the local bullion shops. Sweet score!!!
Here is the coin. It is currently for sale, so I won't link to the actual site that it is listed on. But this is a perfect example of "Who"...
Whoa is right!! So far there is only one correct guess as to what the coin is actually graded. Most of you are closer to what it should actually be.
Well, I'm late to the game. I didn't see this one. I'm not an early copper guy, but I'd would have guessed EF-40 on the Half Cent and MS-63 on...
I just about fell out of my chair when I saw this coin, and not for good reasons. Let's see if you all agree with me. What would you grade this...
This is one of the longest GTG's I've seen in a long while.
Is it a "Small Motto" I can't quite tell from the photo's. The photo in the OP looks like the center riser in the W of WE could have a serif. If...
I'd crack it open with no hesitation.
Waiting to see how this one turns out. :)
