I submit that it already is hard to sell.
I don't understand your example at all. The only time I see lower graded coins selling for more than coins graded higher is when the assigned...
I have seen a handful of Mercury Dimes with this type of toning pattern. While the toning is usually dark, it is not typically black. I assumed...
I'm a little confused. You kept the best one raw and put it in a coin folder and then had the lower quality nickels graded? Can I ask why?
It looks clean enough but very tough to evaluate luster from your photos, coin is definitely not FB. I say MS66.
And that is my point, which are marks and which are planchet roughness? Areas of planchet roughness on Jefferson Nickels are usually confined to...
My opinion mirrors Jason's, I say dip it and hope for the best.
CRH is just not for me.
The TPGs treat roller marks the same way they treat die cracks, and the same way that Jaelus has described in this thread. Personally, I agree...
Based on that photo, I have a problem with the market acceptability of that toning, despite the fact that it resides in NGC plastic. What does...
Roller marks are imparted on the planchet strips during the process of refining the planchet strips to the desired thickness. I think you are...
An interesting discussion with merit on both sides. IMO, Jaelus has presented the more compelling and logical argument. For those who believe...
You are comical, I'm not the one hurling personal attacks. You need to look in the mirror!
Oh, whats the matter, truth hurt? You have not made a meaningful post since I joined this forum in 2008. All you do is troll threads, look for...
Why should it matter that your opinion differs from those of the TPGs. All that should matter is the ability to predict how they will grade a...
Rainbow toning drives a premium price on Morgan Dollars and every other type of coin as well. People will always pay for exceptional eye appeal....
Gradeflation increases the value of the coin that is upgraded but decreases the value of the higher graded coins. You can't blame the TPGs for...
This is where it gets convoluted. The exceptions related to market grading are intentional. Allowances for roll friction and eye appeal are...
I don't know what "grade enhancement" stickers are but I do believe that the CAC mitigates gradeflation.
Gradeflation is real, I just don't believe it is related to a deliberate loosing of grading standards. Rather, I believe that it is the natural...
