My numismatic white whale is the 1950-D Jefferson Nickel. I am currently on my 7th coin and still not satisfied. I just don't like the luster on...
That is awful! I bet PCGS would love to get that one back.
I don't see counting machine damage on either of those coins. What were you hoping for on the Mercury? MS66 FB?
I remember a dog that resided in an MS69 holder at one point, that steelie blows that faux 69 away. Great coin! Btw, nice choice of music, love...
I think that the mark between the N & T that crosses steps 3-6 is too deep and should preclude the 5FS designation. However, if you look at steps...
One thing to remember is that the full step designation is different for the reverse of 38 and reverse of 40. With the reverse of 40, you look...
Welcome Coindude, Nice to have another NGC forum member over here. I don't post over there much anymore, too many dogs and trolls. Paul
This thread has turned into one of the epic debates between Doug and myself. We hold fundamental differences in our beliefs as they relate to...
I have admitted that I was wrong on several occasions on this forum, this is a first for you, congratulations. I believe I addressed your point...

I used the same numbers you did, I just transposed them into a spreadsheet. It is apparent that you have never heard the expression "dig your...
Ok, I have to walk that last statement back a little bit. I meant they did not change standards with the exception of the time they admitted to...
Anyone else hear that? [MEDIA]
Another dodge, let me ask the question in another way. Which series of coins do NGC & PCGS have the biggest disparity in grading standards?
You might not have to get off the fence regarding the larger subject of whether or not the TPGs loosened their grading standards, but I think you...
You might also consider a short set of Mercury Dimes in MS64-65
Agreed, MS66 Jefferson Nickels and Roosevelt Dimes. And if you are looking for something to set them apart, try to find them with nice original...
Not even a $1 Tom? LOL
I think I wanna lower my guess. I didn't see the reverse when I first responded. For some reason only the obverse photo was showing up on my...
What are you using as a base price? This coin has a plus designation as well as attractive toning. The NGC price guides are: MS64: $290...
