It's pretty simple Dave, sharp edges like that cannot be produced when a coin is struck. They can only be produced by post strike damage.
I was, and that is what proves that they are grading the same classic coins over and over again. Now if ya want more proof all ya have to do is...
You ever seen a cud that looked like that ? Or more specific - seen a cud with sharp edges ? I sure as heck never have.
Well for one thing the metal can't get piled up on top of the I unless it is post strike.
No, that's kind of the point I was trying to make Mike. The resubmissions are included; it is the resubmissions that make today's numbers what...
Uhhh - your point ? Or perhaps I should say, are you listening to me ? I don't know how to make it any clearer guys. I posted pictures of 5...
CBD there are many, many of them out there that are far worse than any of these - and all in straight grade slabs.
Yes, the 4 coins have very similar marks. BUT - those marks are quite different than those on the coin that started this thread. In other words,...
coinnoobz - I don't think you understand at all. This is not true, not at all. As you were told once, neither one of those statements is...
You won't get any argument out of me on that account !
Ya think ? Here's the OP's coin - [IMG] Now here's 4 more of the same variety you listed - B-1/BB-142. Not a one of them looks like the OP's...
Extremely unlikely. As I said, the planchets were inspected and weighed before use, and were placed on the anvil die by hand. So a defective...
In my opinion, absolutely. I see coins that are over-graded that badly, by NGC and PCGS both, by that much and more on a daily basis. As I have...
Contact mark wise - yeah it qualifies as a 64. But none of you guys can see the wear on the hair, the cheek, the bust, the drapery, the ribbon,...
Were in agreement on that ! Both of his recent articles on this subject are nothing but a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
That was the very first thing I thought of when I looked at this coin - how does a coin get struck when both dies are covered with a cloth, or the...
No, it is not uncirculated, it is at best an AU53. But then the slabbed coin you posted a link to is not uncirculated either, I would say it is at...
Sent you a PM explaining how.
Kurt the issue you and I are discussing is quite simple and this is what it is - Do you realize that NGC and PCGS each slab over 100,000 coins a...
What BadThad said !
