No. Very much, definitively, absolutely... no.
I used to be very, very active on the NGC boards. NGC was always "Sleepy Hollow" compared to PCGS, but the boards were fairly active and lively...
For educational reasons, could you explain why?
You have hit the nail squarely on the head. This is why, when I explain my grades on GTG's like this, I attempt to use my SLEC method - Strike,...
Everyone needs to vote in the poll! If you don't vote in the poll, your grades won't count - currently, nobody has selected 65!
How good is CoinTalk compared to the TPGs? Let's find out! Over the next several months, I'll be posting a continuous stream of Guess the Grade...
Yeah, I can do that. I think people are getting messed up because the images are too large, so they are focusing on every single little mark.
Fun fact, CAC does not consider the + when stickering. So, a coin that is a strong 64 may earn CAC with or without the +.
Could you make that available to us? Or, convert it into a thread and post it here? I'd be very interested in reading it.
Alright guys, here's the result. PCGS MS-64 CAC. We had 59 participants in the poll, but unfortunately your concensus grade was a full 1.9...
Ha, that's hilarious. Do we have any musician types that can record that for us so we can hear it?
I used to own this one. Pretty sure it was AT. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Very cool, thanks for the info. Obviously, Japanese coins aren't my specialty.... ;)
That's one that might fool a beginner, but shouldn't fool most of us.
messydesk said the exact same thing I was going to say (but he explained it better). You have a really good first start, so keep trying!
Your link doesn't work - you are linking us to a file on your computer. You have to upload it here for it to work. As for the RPM - congrats on...
This is tricky. I know Old ANACS was a bit lax with the PL, so I think it probably got PL (although it might not get it if resubmitted today). I...
Isn't a yen already a very low value coin? What could you buy with 1/1000th of a yen? Or was the yen a more valuable coin back then? Either way,...
Yes, Umayyad was my first thought as well. I collect Moroccan coinage, and the Umayyads ruled African Mediterranean for a period between 610 - 750...
I enjoy your enthusiasm. And FE cents are cool!
