The problem with your analysis is the assumption that this coin was ever a $90 coin. That $90 price guide coin is usually your garden variety...
Someone decided to cross this from the NGC old fatty and it ended up in a 1943-S Jefferson Nickel PCGS MS67+ This reinforces the trend that PCGS...
Ok, this was a tricky guess the grade. Nobody really figured out what I was looking for, the coin was crossed from NGC to PCGS (not by me, I sold...
Okay guys here is a fun guess the grade thread. Instead of telling you which company graded the coin, I want you to guess both the grading...
I'm not sure how I feel about that coin.
When I bought it I was like yesssssssss!!!!!! [IMG] When I received it I cried NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! [IMG] The whole sorted story is here:...
The 1939 reverses are not considered varieties per se, as they are design changes so I don't think you will find them in a reference for...
The reverse could go as high as MS65 with very nice surfaces, luster, and eye appeal, but the obverse is going to hold the grade of this coin...
I think the SLEC method falls apart in the circulated grades. For XF and below, luster is taken completely out of the equation. In the lower...
The TPG's job is to create a stable market for coins based on consumer confidence in their ability to correctly grade coins, not dumb things down...

Why not? I think it would provide a window into why the TPGs grade the way that they do. And we aren't asking them to provide the analysis that...
I didn't post a top pop modern so why would you be referring to them? And there isn't a PR63 on the planet that even approaches that coin. At...
I don't collect circulated coins of any type. But classifying my proof IHC as "silly" & "only worth something because of the plastic" solely...

Dude, don't take this the wrong way, but you are 20 years old. You weren't submitting coins when you were 10.
If you are claiming that the obverse looks better in hand, then I'm going MS66. My first impression was a high end 65 with muted luster.
I find it hilarious that a guy who self admittedly hasn't collected coins for over a decade presumes to know more about TPG grading practices than...
Nobody said your writing was good.
Wow, I didn't know you were a fiction novelist.
