I attribute things like that to fact that people like to gamble on coins. It's kind of like how a raw coin that is a lock for a 64 can often sell...
Could be, but I've seen NGC & PCGS upgrade a lot of coins like that one that were in ICG slabs.
Well, which TPG it is really has no bearing. I've seen NGC and PCGS slab plenty with more wear than that one as MS62 or MS63. And if that coin was...
Lucy it kind of depends on your point of view. And that point of view can vary greatly depending on if you are a loved one of the person, or the...
The way a person "sees" toning is like a person looking at a glass of water that is filled to the half way point. Is it half full, or half empty ?...
Same thing really. A picture can be deemed to be "worse" because it shows the flaws of the coin more readily, or because it does not show the...
Boy ! Went through this whole thread and nobody had any of these ! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I would not put it quite the way you did - only a 60. I would instead ask why they over-graded it. Answer your question ?
Yep, on gold. You're avatar is toned as well. It's quite common to find gold coins that are toned. And yes, ........... nahhhhhhhhh, fought that...
Mine is Netherlands ducats, hard for it be anything else ;)
For whatever it's worth, in the time that has passed since this thread was started I have learned considerably more about Netherlands ducats,...

No idea, I didn't bother trying to look it up. But the 1977 date makes it obvious is a restrike. Many of the European mints issue restrikes all...
That's what it is. The Austrian mint, for one example, turns out restrikes every year and they have been doing so for decades.
I posted this in another thread recently, but it has an impact on your comments so I'm posting it again. 10-12 years ago most of the ASE's graded...
Prime - your sets would lose about half their value if you did that.
Unless they would grade 67 DCAM or 68 DCAM it's not worth it in my opinion. Maybe those 2 Frankies would have a shot, but I think that's about it.
Congrats ! :thumb:
Yeah, but only when the hit on the devices is somewhat hidden because it's on the devices. But when a contact marks are that big, it doesn't much...
The fields hits ? The one in the hair and the one at the bottom of the bust are way worse than those. My personal opinion, it's AU. But I can't...
