Frankly, I don't have a clue as to why they graded it only MS63. I have examined many MS63's and 64's and like this one better, overall, than just...
There is some debate regarding precisely what conditions are required for a coin to have been struck as a "Proof". A number of opinions go with...
I don't get it either. And apparently the under-bidder in the auction felt the same way, as we bid it up way over typical MS63RB money.:rolling:
A poster on another forum commented that the high points of the obverse appeared to be discolored. And, while I don't think that would/should be a...
Thanks for the comments. The coin is in a PCGS MS63RB holder. It is very close to full red and I think it deserves an MS64, due to its very clean,...

That's usually true. However, we don't know things such as whether price comparisons were made, if the buyer had been considering the purchase for...
The original poster indicated that there was a 30 day return period ("I decided to send them back well within the 30 day limit".) If such is the...
The lack of information about them should be all you need to know - stay away.
I would be very surprised if 1) the coins were at a fair price in the first place (they hardly ever are when offered via TV, magazine, radio,...
I realize that determining the method of manufacture can be difficult from images. I would have guessed business strike in this case, though I...
Well said. And I would add to that - I have rarely seen a good (or even fair) deal via radio ads, TV ads, or magazine/newspaper ads. Ditto for...
The images don't allow for a decent look at the coin. It could be AU and/or cleaned or a decent uncirculated example - there's just no way to tell.
Jack, it was a pleasure to meet and chat with you, GD and JD, and thanks so much for your kind words. Very glad you guys were enjoying yourselves...
You are obviously free to do so. But it means that you grade by an entirely different standard than the major grading companies and most...
Thanks for the thread and the post Mike. Due to the subjective nature of grading and shortcomings of even the best images, I don't believe in...
It was spot-on, in mine.
Whew!:smile
Certainly flaws of various types MIGHT be hidden by the toning and/or otherwise not show up in the images. However, I would think that the...
Based on the images (which is all we have to go on) I see no reason why that coin wouldn't grade MS66, at a minimum. There are very few marks (and...
