Most details grades don’t need an explanation, but altered surfaces encompasses a lot of things. It really wouldn’t be that tough. CAC will...
I’m not a professional coin grader, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Okay, but he hasn’t shared his opinion of the coin in this thread.
It was shown that I was applying the proof standard to business strikes. FWIW, I still don't agree with their practice of awarding the star...
The internet experts did well on this one. FWIW, I was gonna say MS64. The reverse misses PL and the obverse is too baggy for a gem grade.
If your understanding of market grading is typing a definition from a website, then I rest my case.
And everybody who collects rainbow toned coins knows that they often get grade bumps for color and the bid/pay accordingly. The price difference...
First, you are the only one besides PCGS who has seen the coin, so everyone else's opinion of the surfaces don't matter. Second, if you don't...
Have you ever even submitted a coin for grading?
So wait a minute, all of a sudden, the guy who is defending the TPGs in recognition of his own limitations is the one who always has to be right?...

You all need to pipe down, and the idea that "insiders or select dealers" get better grades is just another in the long line of conspiracy...
While I agree with you, all the coins I collect are available in the mint state ranges, and since I don't run into this type of market grading, I...
This coin is not overgraded at MS65. It has MS63 surfaces with MS68 luster & eye appeal from the photos. Like baseball21 said, just because you...
While I hesitate to challenge your expertise on being "blatantly wrong", the TPGs provide professional opinions on the grade, you are some dude on...
Please explain to us how you slam PCGS for straight grading problem coins and then refer to one of those same coins to refute NGC’s net grade,...
I don't have any circulated cams, but how about and uncirculated coin with toning that creates a cameo appearance. I used to own an uber cool...
The quality of the 1957 Jeffs falls off a little but you do have the big star between LIBERTY and the date which is kinda cool. Both my 57's are...
Very cool quarter, here is an autumnal Morgan Dollar for the thread. [IMG]
Surprisingly, I actually kinda like this. The worst part other than the price is the horribly gaudy NGC red insert. Coca Cola stuff is very...
