Clinker, Cool link and thank you for reducing the font size on your posts, it is much easier to read! On another note, is that his real name?...
Mike, I am not sure I would call it ragging but if that is how it is being perceived then I will tone it down a little. IMO, there is nothing...
That is an excellent post and I think you just summarized the entire debate (both sides) in two paragraphs. However, I still think that a...
Which one is it, if I send it back once it will come back MS68, but if I send it back 10,000 times a dozen times it will come back MS70. I...
Doug, The 1886 is slabbed by ANACS. It probably was bagged by NGC before getting sent to ANACS.
You are making a whole bunch of assumptions without facts in order to prove a point that no matter how hard you try can easily be disputed. You...
Are you claiming to have private e-mails from PCGS and NGC graders admitting that they arbitrarily assign 69 and 70 grades. If so, you could...
I am thrilled that your tone has changed from unsubstantiated smack talk to patronizing me. Much better. Thanks!
OK. Let me rephrase. Just because YOU can't see the difference, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The graders at NGC and PCGS can see the...
Lincoln Cents I found this post on "Lincoln Cents" interesting and have nominated it accordingly for "Coin Talk Thread of the Week Nominations Of...
Sorry, I should have mentioned that both of those are on the slab not the coin. The toning has no effect on the grade.
It seems that nobody really has a problem with conditional rarities overall but only with respect to differentiating between a 69 and a 70. Just...
I don't dispute that the coin is overgraded. That was actually the purpose of the OP, but I have a pet peeve about people crying AT without...
Now you would not say that if this was not a modern coin. The fact is that there have been almost 10,000 1977-S Proof Ike's graded by PCGS. Over...
Well that comment sir only serves to prove you don't know the first thing about bag toned Morgans. The toning is original with a stain on the...
On the contrary, this is the first error coin I have ever seen that actually improved the aesthetic appeal of the original design. The SBA is one...
Here is a photo of the "T" designation. [IMG] Here is the ultra cool re-holdered double desingation ("T" & *) pedigreed coin. [IMG] Check out...
Richie, Do you remember the thread a few weeks ago that discussed the "T" designation that NGC used to denote toning. The "W" designation was...
The ANACS slabbed coin is overgraded. The reverse is MS63 or MS64 at best. The obverse should also not be above MS64 due to the major...
The fact that bags existed with mixed mint marks does not mean that every bag contained mixed mint marks and does not make it common unless we...
Separate names with a comma.
