While bag toning can be replicated, it certainly isn't easy. Personally, I don't depend on the TPG's to set the boundary between AT and NT. If...
Personal Foul: Unnecessary Roughness for inciting others to call Jefferson Nickels ugly. 15 yard penalty and loss of down!:D
On the contrary, you are not alone on the mountain. Almost every advanced collector that I have interacted with demands that their coins be...
I like my 1941-D though. [IMG]
I wish I owned that coin. Superb my friend, superb!
One thing has not changed since the inception of the TPG's. Those with grading skills and numismatic knowledge are still in a much better...

Doug, those are your rules not the rules of the TPG's who set the standard for market grading. Personally, I believe the coin in question has...
I am not a fan of that coin. I don't like the color or the wear.
I wanted to see if anyone could come up with it. Whenever you see a Morgan that is toned on both sides, you need to look for what is called...
But in the market grading system employed by the TPG's, eye appeal is an element of grading. It stands to reason that a coin with superior eye...
+2 I predict he will be NARU very soon.
Yep, must be my inexperience with the series!
