Doug, I'm not going to lie. I've disagreed with you many, many times. Your posts in this thread, however, are absolutely the most ridiculous thing...
I appreciate what you're trying to argue - but the Bashlow restrikes are private issues minted a hundred years after the original. It's a terrible...
Yes to the bean on the Oregon Trail. Absolutely fantastic coin, and solid for a 66. I don't think it got the gold, but it absolutely deserves a...
By your argument, then, any RPM or DDO must also have a reduced grade. Are they not flaws in a die? How about an E/A Bust Half? Or a repunched...
Alright, time for the reveal. CAC gave this a bean - but I absolutely disagree. In terms of wear alone, the coin is a superb AU-50, probably more...
PCGS called this a 66. I agree with some posters who've said that this should be a +, or maybe even higher. With 25 guesses, CT called this a 65.5.
This one was tough! PCGS called this MS-62. With 38 guesses, the CT average was 60.0. This coin might be easier to grade in hand than from a...
Alright. PCGS called this a 64. With 37 guesses, CT guessed 63.48. The average was really brought down by all of the AU guesses. However, 57%...
In my opinion, this is a high end 45, but 45 is the right grade. Not enough wear and too much luster for a 40. I wouldn't be surprised to see this...
Counterpoint: die polish is a genuine artifact of the minting process, created by mint workers while making the coin. It has absolutely no impact...
PCGS AU-50. CAC or no CAC? Reveal Tuesday morning! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
A pretty tight spread on guesses, with one outlier. Doug? Keep the guesses coming! I'll post results Monday evening.
Guesses seem split amongst two camps. Which side do you fall in? Keep the guesses coming. I'll post results Monday evening!
Grade guesses from 55 to 66..... Wasn't expecting such a spread. Keep 'em coming. I'll post results Monday evening.
Gotta admit, there's a bit more spread here than I was expecting. Got guesses from 40-55. Keep 'em coming, I'll post results Monday evening.
I've been watching that one for weeks. It's just a bit high price for me, but I'd buy it in an instant if the price were lower. Definitely...
Could you explain this in a little more detail?
Guess the grade! Guess the Overton! (really scuffy slab, some people just don't treat them well!) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'm convinced I could take an MS-70 directly from the coining chamber, and someone would still guess AU-58. I just don't get it.
Haha, @green18 , it's all good. I'm curious to hear what people's opinion is on the 1921 DD posted!
