I don't know. :p I can be a tricky fellow when it comes to Guess the Grade threads. :D
Part 2 has been posted here: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/pcgs-sub-has-arrived-guess-the-grade-part-2-of-5.385010/
I agree. Of the five coins I sent in, this was the one I was most confident in! So much for that confidence. :eek::p
We continue along in my PCGS sub. This is part 2 of 5. Please guess the original grade and the new grade (originally NGC and now PCGS). Are they...
This one graded the same both times: MS 64. Below is an image of the original holder (don't have a picture in the new holder yet). I was a bit...
This is pretty much how I feel too. As a buyer you have multiple levels of protection (eBay, PayPal, your credit card) so even iffy items aren't...
Reveal later tonight and then part 2 of 5 will follow.
That would be one of the factors I would suggest as well. Another might be to look at historical premiums and see if any of the current options is...
That's always possible and you won't know for sure unless you go. I think it's usually worth going at least once for the experience.
That's a great haul! Nice variety of type coins!
One could read it that way, but there were plenty of positives. Spending a day around coins is fun on its own. Then you have the thrill of the...
Both times PCGS (unless you were predicting the NGC grade and I misunderstood :wacky:).
@spirityoda those are some nice Polish coins! My preferred grade range is between 58-64. There is one on eBay but it's from overseas and is pricey...
From my experiences, prices in general are going up (and have been since Spring 2020). Coin show dealers have adjusted to the market and increased...
Cleaned is a bit trickier because luster plays a big part in the gem grades. If the luster is subdued, it is much harder to call a coin a 66. I...
I agree with you to a certain point. I think some scratches aren't as bad as others and should be treated similar to bag marks or other hits....
My NGC sub is all moderns (and I'm still waiting for it in the mail) so there isn't much worthwhile grade guessing. The PCGS sub on the other hand...
Here are the two coins I bought and the free sample: [IMG] [IMG]
This was my first show since 2019 and it was good to be back! I prefer going on a weekday but other plans prevented that this year, so Saturday...
If it's a big/obvious scratch, then it should be a details coin. Like @Morgandude11 mentioned, it could be BU Details - scratched ....it could be...
