They are announcing this like it is some major upgrade or new feature. How about they acknowledge that this is reversing a wildly unpopular...
I know what you meant, Lehigh. I just had to tease a bit ;)
They're graded the same way everything else is graded: Strike, Luster, Eye Appeal, Contact Marks ;)
They made Matte Proofs in 1909-1916. They made Satin and Brilliant proofs in 1936. They made Brilliant proofs from 1936 - 1942. They started...
I agree, that appears to be post mint damage. Too bad, because the coin looks nice otherwise.
Die cracks definitely do not affect the grade! Also, die cracks don't usually get designated unless it's a very famous or significant die crack...

I have been coordinating with the fantastic folks at Florida United Numismatists. With the blessing of @Peter T Davis , I registered CoinTalk.com...

I wanted to address this comment specifically. I'm generally opposed to this line of thinking - award the coin the grade it deserves, and let the...
With 30 guesses, Cointalk called this a 64.6. Unfortunately, PCGS and CAC called this a 66. This coin is simply stunning, and I'm not sure why...
With 30 guesses, the CoinTalk average was 64.6. This is against a PCGS CAC 64 - so we pretty much nailed it! As many of you mentioned, the...
Time for the reveal! With 33 votes, the CoinTalk guess is.... 63.4. PCGS and CAC gave this a 65, so we were 1.6 points low. I think people...
