Oh, c'mon, that might be the most entertaining and educational thread I've seen on this forum in over a year.
My grade assessment on these two coin is very similar to Jason's. 1909 VDB Lincoln Cent: The stain on the obverse is very distracting and I...
I'm also torn between MS63 & MS64 so I will say MS63+.
I have wanted the TPGs to give their grade with respect to each element of grading for years. They could easy provide the total grade on the...
While I agree with you that the coin is undergraded, I don't agree with your individual assessments of each element of grade. The 1938-D Buffalo...
That is one example, and one not one that you own, but one that was brought up specifically in a thread about undergraded coins. How many tens of...
That is absolutely ridiculous, all of the TPGs have established standards for every series in every grade. And while this thread might be about...
A solid MS65, beautiful coin.
Hey, leave Doug out of this! ;)
I'm not calling you an idiot, just saying your decision was based on pragmatism, not rebellion.

How do you know that the graders at PCGS at the time didn't think this coin was a just miss MS66FB? In my eyes, this coin is not a poster child...
If you really thought that coin was an MS67FB, I think the addition to your bankroll would make you forget about feeding PCGS.
If you resubmit and get MS66FB, you basically break even, but if it comes back MS67FB, that's a nice score. Sure you don't wanna gamble? You are...
I already admitted very early on that the coin was overgraded and deserved no higher than low end MS67 money which would be $250-$300
That's true, but don't expect people to pay you MS67 money until you resubmit it and find out.
Funny, you were all by yourself in that thread, but you still think I'm the one out on an island.
