I went big and whiffed by two grades....I can see a 66 but 65 and no steps seems like NGC was off.
TPG breakdown: 6-PCGS 2-NGC 1-Anacs 1-raw
Very nice! As someone who still has not dabbled in ancients (some day!), I can appreciate a slab but also understand those that see no use for them.
Some stats on where the coins came from: 6-Great Collections auctions 2-coin shows (Central States and ANA) 1-eBay 1-direct from a seller in...
As 2024 concludes and 2025 approaches, I once more bring back the tradition of showcasing the top 10 additions of the year. As you will see, the...
67 5FS ....luster and minimal marks is enough to get it to 67 (and it's nicer than the last one, which was a 66....of course that does not mean it...
65 5FS ...steps are there; as for the grade, it looks a point weaker than all of the prior ones so that meant 65 to me
Bank wires between people just aren't common and there is usually no recourse if something goes wrong (although the odds of something going wrong...
I think the wire part could be a hard sell. It might be different in Europe, but in the US that tends to raise red flags. The most common payment...
I have seen them before but not often. Cool find!
This one looks nicer than the previous two and the five steps are there, so I went MS 66+ FS ....two things kept me from going MS 67: the scrape...
And just like Ed Wood, I nailed it! :p
I voted before checking the reveal at MS 66 not FS (seems to be the same case as the first one)
I will support @Lehigh96 's honesty as I recall previous threads where his vote was different from the revealed grade (and he is an honest one in...
TLDR version: it's complicated; there are good, bad, and average coins in all slabs; see bottom for some nice coins.....but better yet, read the...
MS 66 not FS....fields are clean; rim worries me a bit (even if it is not damage, I think it detracts from a higher grade)
It does seem to have AU details but that dink could be the reason. And you are wise to not play the regrading game (at least with this coin, as...
Anacs is better in terms of fees, especially if you submit on one of their specials. And they are solid, especially when it comes to Morgans. I...
Nowadays you are correct but in the early days of grading services it was more common. At one point there were only three "common" grades:...
I would say it's a 64 (65 if lucky and 63 if the divot mentioned previously is significant in hand) ....I would likely not send this to grade. As...
