The displayed images are too small to look at the coin as a whole with grading in mind - aside the "automatic" mag increase inside moving the red...

So they weren't capable of reading the order form you filled out properly while you were standing in front of them, nor realizing you were paying...
Images aren't all shot on the same camera, under the same conditions? That would be a....distraction. The premise of the site completely agrees...
Yeah, they beat you pretty badly about the head on that one, then. Says a lot about them, if they can't keep QC straight at a show.
It's not possible to see the slab at their Cert Verification site - did they offer a Sheldon number at all? I may have misread your post....
PCGS isn't wrong; they didn't offer a Sheldon variety for your coin at all. It's the single leaf reverse of 1795, all right. Did you pay for...
There's a lot of solid logic in that; we really don't know what exactly causes them. I'm honestly astonished that nobody's done any destructive...
Some folks have no working forward gears in their brain transmissions.
Milk spots are a non-natural alteration to the surface of a coin - completely unrelated to the natural process called either toning or tarnishing...
Part of good coin design is understanding the interplay between obverse and reverse designs, and how metal moves & fills features during the...
It was just too tough to strike well, too much eagle detail directly opposite features on the reverse which also needed deep strike there. That's...
I have no problem with this; I just don't think decimal places are necessary. How do I teach someone how many marks - and where - equal MS63 when...
Hmmm. They're a $2.25 bus ride from me.
I've always liked the separated designations for surface quality and color. DLRC does that, and I like it. It infuriates me when a coin with MS63...
That's actually doable for me, even though I ceased driving 25 years ago. I think you can plan on meeting me sometime soon.
I can't say I'm completely against finer granularity in grading practice, especially when it disconnects eye appeal from technical grade.
Quite the contrary in my experience; the Army had so much trouble filling allocations in the aftermath of Viet Nam that it was barely an "Army" in...
If my snapshot of Baltimore was any indication, they had to go somewhere. :) How many tables do you average?
....who are the least appropriate candidates to just jump into a type set/keys. It would be irrelevant if you could trust the slab's label 100% of...
