It shouldn't take anyone who knows what they are doing more than 1 minute to accurately grade a coin. If anything, it is the authentication part...
Well, that is where we diverge. Toning can change the eye appeal of a coin just as dramatically as luster, and when a coin has both dramatic...
I think you are reading too much into this. The 39-D had a pretty high mintage near 25 million and Denver dimes were being hoarded in the 30's so...
Agreed, impaired proof!
I really don't think that could be the reason for a several point drop. If the luster isn't affected at all by the dipping, then you might want...
While I agree that you shouldn't blindly trust TPG grades and you should always ensure that the coin meets your own personal standards for the...

Actually, baseball21 has a point here. If the original photo was the PCGS Truview as opposed to the GC photo, I would bet you that the guesses...

I gotta tell ya, I am really surprised that PCGS didn't give this coin FS. They usually allow one little disturbance like that and they don't...
While you have a point about his past complaints about TPG over grading, you can't possibly think this coin is an MS62. Personally, from the...
Wait, what? People are seriously calling luster grazes wear? That ain't right, I will check out the thread you are talking about.
Wow, that coin redefines LDS.
PCGS does not use the 6FS designation, they only use FS which equates to 5 Full steps.

I agree that it would get market graded but I'm only willing to give it one point bump. I'm at MS63.
1939 Jefferson Nickel Reverse of 38 GEM BU: $8.10 [IMG]
