Ugg....it looks OK, but the ratings are not in 1-grade differences. So you have to guestimate from MS-65 to MS-66 as it's 1/2 way to their...
Understood....it's just that there were a few varieties and they eoncompassed a period of 12+ years. So when I saw "OGH" all the time referencing...
I do, that's great advice, and Thank You !!!:cigar:
They should call it the LOGH -- Light Original Green Holder. :DThose holders (see link above) were so pale green it's tough to tell what color...
Gotcha MD...good points. BTW, came across an interesting factoid while hitting the archives for GDJMSP's post......during The Bubble, a Morgan...
Agreed, GD, I have actual articles saved which talked about Kidder, Peabody putting $50MM - $150 MM into coins. MS-65 Saints went to a 500%...
Agreed...but the consensus is that grading standards have not been like the Speed Of Light -- constant. :D There were periods where things...
Here's something I'd be interested in hearing from some of you: 2 coins...identical or nearly identical....one graded from the early-2000's, the...

I was just checking Ebay and was curious as to what some people were asking for older holders from PCGS/NGC. Specifically, the Old Green Holders...
Damn, I wonder if I should have ordered this one instead of the 7th ANA guide....hope it has pics like this one.:banghead:
Great info, thanks Lehigh !! I am learning alot...though at times it seems like the more I learn, the less I know. My ANA book arrives tomorrow,...
Lehigh......OK, first I made a typo. I wrote: "....if they are both MS-65*, right ? The 2nd one has much darker/noticeable blotches on the face,...
Again...waiting for my ANA Grade Book :D....but since there are more marks the lower you go it's going to be much tougher to determine an MS-63...
Wait....grade DOWN for the more common coin, right ?
Lehigh, they are both MS-65*, right ? The 2nd one has much darker/noticeable blotches on the face, even I can see that. If the 1st one is a 65,...
If anybody wants to show me WHY this isn't an MS-65 -- either by showing me much better MS-65's or showing me an MS-64 (or lower) that is as nice...
Well, I can help you there, Lehigh :D....this thread has pics at the top of my 1898 MS-64 PL:...
It looks SOLID for the grade if you go by comps. If it fails the ANA or PCGS grading standards for an MS-65, let me know why. 1891's:...
