The problem is that you and others are substituting your standards for NGC's standards. I have no problem with your standards and actually find...
Why would I talk about what the TPGs did in the 1980's? Based on the holder, the coin was graded very recently and I was talking about the...
That's not at all what it means. They follow their own grading standards, and their standards set the market. An experienced numismatist strives...
The TPGs determine how grading works, whether you agree with it or not. And they have always graded holistically. If this coin has MS65-66...
I would never bid on this coin without seeing it in hand first. I've already admitted I don't like the + grade and think it is a low end MS67.
While I agree the coin is overgraded, it is not egregiously so. If you think this coin is an MS64, then you don't know much about the Washington...
My point is that the TPG graded the coin MS67+, and then CAC stickered the coin at MS67. How many professional opinions does it take to overcome...
I think it just misses PL, so MS64+
I think the coin is gorgeous and I'm sure the luster is off the charts. That said, there are too many small ticks on the focal areas to warrant...

Jason, I think this is a really bad idea for one reason. What would you do when you encounter a rainbow toned coin that just misses the strike...
They use the star designation for gold coins, I used to own one. [IMG]
Is anyone going to pay that price? Listen, I take a lot of abuse for paying premiums for toning, but at least I can see it.
MS65
Does a barely visible retained cud raise the value of the coin above what you paid for it? If not, how does this purchase qualify as a cherrypick?
Attractive and lustrous, but a little mushy. The 38-D is easily found in premium gem so I think this one just misses. I say MS65.
Another well struck lustrous Morgan with clean surfaces but a disturbed focal area on the obverse. TPG's are tough on the common dates for gem...
Well struck, lustrous, and pretty clean. The problem is that the marks are on the focal area of the obverse which I think takes gem grade off the...
