That is why when I do GTG threads, I usually ask "Guess the assigned grade." It helps cut down on the confusion.
I actually think that the "+" designation is an effective tool to stop/slow gradeflation. Prior to that, the TPGs needed to make a tough decision...
I am hesitant to enter this topic of discussion as I have engaged in heated debates about this subject many times in the past on this forum. I...
The new photos lose some sharpness but definitely show the color better. [IMG]
Yup, the Jefferson Nickel series is very diverse. It can be very affordable, even in the uncirculated grades, or it can be very expensive if...
Now that is freaking awesome, I'm so jealous! A hybrid of an album and a capital plastics holder, GENIUS! If you are planning to start an album...
That is crazy! So that coin resides in an MS65 5FS holder? What a pity.
The problem here is not the coin, it is my photography. The color on this coin simply hides from my normal setup. But as I recently discovered,...

Just picked this up off E-Bay, do you think it will get a star designation from NGC? [IMG] For some reason the color is tough to capture on this...
Do they give star designations for the AU58 grade?
My initial reaction was MS64, but both services love these coins with deep toning, MS65 wouldn't surprise me.
I think the toning is natural and I agree that I think you should have it graded by NGC. It probably isn't going to get a premium gem grade, but...
What I remember is that the debates on the TCCS forum were epic!
You can't type "funny story" and then proceed to post a rant in order to call it humorous or comical. That seller ticked you off, you ranted to...
Lol, yeah, I was trying to hide in plain sight.
My initial reaction to the photos was MS64, but I really like the color and associated eye appeal so I bumped it to MS65.
As far as I know, the seller doesn't get to choose the reason for blocking a potential E-Bay bidder/buyer. The seller simply adds the name to the...
