No doubt that you are not most people, only Doug is as rigid and unyielding as you, slaves to a world of black and white, determined with all your...
You have alluded that the 39-D that you have in a folder is a high grade example, MS66? MS67? When you say folder, I am hoping you mean album,...
Yeah, but I recently referenced this thread in a post in a current thread, which explains its resurrection.
Are you not concerned why you were able to get what you believe is an MS68 for MS66 money at auction?
If it is silly, why do the TPGs and practically everyone else in the numismatic world disagree with you and Doug? Your precious "wear is wear"...
Doug, would you consider the coin a problem coin as is?
To whom? For experienced collectors like yourself, there would be no real upside in dipping the coin since the luster already seems to be...
I don't think that is what he is saying; he is talking about a specific series of coins, Saints, which all suffer some measure of high point rub....
I submit that it already is hard to sell.
I don't understand your example at all. The only time I see lower graded coins selling for more than coins graded higher is when the assigned...
I have seen a handful of Mercury Dimes with this type of toning pattern. While the toning is usually dark, it is not typically black. I assumed...
I'm a little confused. You kept the best one raw and put it in a coin folder and then had the lower quality nickels graded? Can I ask why?
It looks clean enough but very tough to evaluate luster from your photos, coin is definitely not FB. I say MS66.
And that is my point, which are marks and which are planchet roughness? Areas of planchet roughness on Jefferson Nickels are usually confined to...
My opinion mirrors Jason's, I say dip it and hope for the best.
CRH is just not for me.
The TPGs treat roller marks the same way they treat die cracks, and the same way that Jaelus has described in this thread. Personally, I agree...
Based on that photo, I have a problem with the market acceptability of that toning, despite the fact that it resides in NGC plastic. What does...
Roller marks are imparted on the planchet strips during the process of refining the planchet strips to the desired thickness. I think you are...
An interesting discussion with merit on both sides. IMO, Jaelus has presented the more compelling and logical argument. For those who believe...
