So you have the ability to discern the difference between MS63 & MS64 but not MS67 & MS68. That does not preclude others from having that ability...
I can't do it with every series and I don't know how accurate I would be with Mercury Dimes since I have not collected them since the late 90's....
To ignore conditional rarities entirely is a reaction based on emotion. Here are the facts as they relate to your example. The 1944-D Mercury...
The newer slabs are much less succeptible to sticker damage. The TPG's are aware and have addressed the problem but there are a boatload of old...
Doug, That statement is very misleading IMO. The majority of toned coins come in physical contact with a toning source that contains sulfur....
It has no effect on the coin at all. This is very common and every collector has run into this situation. Many are annoyed by it, but you are...

Rich, Even though your photos are blurry and a little over exposed, that is a very nice Jefferson. I see a couple of very minor ticks on the...
Can you describe the color a little? I like the strike but can't tell from the scans if it has a shot at full steps. Unfortunately, the marks on...
I have no idea what that is supposed to mean I take from this that you think their modern graded coins are worthless but no more so than those...
As always, I have to re-read your bolded posts that never have paragraphs and always have improper spacing and grammatical errors to understand...
1) Do you actively collect coins and/or currency? Yes 2) What is your favorite coin design and why? Jefferson Nickel. Thomas Jefferson...
I don't know how we are expected to give and accurate grade bases on photos at an extreme angle. Having said that, I concur with the AU crowd....
Mark down the date, Doug and I agree on a grade.
Mike, It's not even close to the same MO. BNB was arrogant and bragged about being big money. This guy does neither. He does not deserve to...
I guess that means I am not getting an answer
The fine line that has been walked in this thread has finally been crossed.
Jim, It is really hard to tell about the steps from those scans. My guess on grade would be MS66 for PCGS and MS67 for NGC. Since NGC MS67s...
Separate names with a comma.
