@fred13, I know that you have been a member of this forum since 2009, but as others have pointed out, your post count indicates that you have not...
Doug has not graded more coins than the TPGs, that is ridiculous and the TPGs don't change their standards to satisfy high volume submitters. In...
You better hold onto that coin. If PCGS ever does add that variety to their registry, your coin will suddenly become very valuable. And it is...
I agree with Frank, this is probably an example of the spur die break which has a different angle than the variety. I have never seen an example...
I'm pretty sure that Ruben thought CAC was a scam/fraud. My argument with him about it in 2008 on this forum led to a very nice forum friendship....
Looks like they gave that coin a 2 point bump for the toning. I wonder what the sale price would have been if the coin were only graded MS64*,...

I didn't say he was challenging the individual graders, I meant the grading practices employed by the TPGs as companies. Say what you want, IMO,...

Morgandude's impression of Doug is based on many threads of the course of years, not what was written in this specific thread, it is based on the...
PCGS did not change their standards, not in 2004, and not last year.
How about an Appalachian Jefferson, that should satisfy the toning appetite! [IMG]
Doug uses an entirely different system of grading than the TPGs. And while you might not like his system of grading, he is remarkably consistent...
I am not in the habit of defending Doug. He certainly doesn't need me to do it and we disagree almost all of the time, but when Doug states that...
I have you ever considered that some collectors agree more with the TPG grading standards than they do the ANA grading standards? As far as I'm...
lol
The toning on this coin is simply not attractive. Toning enthusiasts use the term "wholly original" to describe toned coins of this nature. It...
I agree, this looks to be a coin that PCGS blew the grade.
