Not surprised at all. PCGS is known to be much harder on these. For example, @BigTee44 's coin would definitely not have slabbed at PCGS.
Well, my position is no secret, haha. I think you need to add another choice "No, and I never will."
I always think its cool to see artifacts along with coins, especially in a museum type display. It adds a lot more context to the coins. I don't...
I think the results of that recent mega-thread was that telling the other side they couldn't post wasn't allowed. Once this finally gets settled...
Course I didn't forget that one ;) I just didn't want to overwhelm the thread with all of my rare PL/DPL coins. But since you asked for it! NGC...
The advantage of a 150-180 over a 90-100 (which is what I have) is that the farther away you pull the lens, the higher the angle you can...
Your pictures are improving slightly. So, I guess there's benefit in that. However, taking more pictures of the same coin won't turn it into a DDR.
Hard to tell, but it may be? Here are the ones listed by CONECA:...
No. Still looks like an attractive 63 to me. The new pictures are better, and show the luster more - but they just solidify my 63 opinion.
Yes, I've definitely seen doubling that was only visible on the date. However, there are no DDOs listed for 1958D. I don't see the doubling in...
There are 16 82D Washingtons in the census (1 - 64, 5 - 66, 7 - 67, 3 - 68). I had seen the 64 listed on Ebay years ago, but I had never seen any...
The RedBook has the listing.
Only several thousand? I think you need a few more.
Hairlines are one of the biggest grade drivers on proof coins. If it has a decent amount of hairlines, the grade will be limited to around 65. At...
A member here has a Gobrecht dollar (which was issued as proof only) that grades AG or G.
No idea what the slab is going to say, but those pictures say EF details, cleaned and scratched.
Those PCGS slabs are both fake. I would thus assume the coins in them are also fake. I would thus assume the things being sold with them are also...
They are trolling for a sucker. You get a lot of "bidiots" on ebay that see something, don't really research it, pay way too much for it, and...
You guys are right on the money - NGC 64 PL. Good job. And yeah, these are definitely die polish lines. Compare that 2 reales with the 1 reale...
Hey, I have one of these! I only have a half dozen ancients, but I picked this up last year. I really like how well centered the reverse is on...
