For a common coin, it would need to be two points to be worth cracking in most cases. When I see something like $45/$80/$150/$300 (64/65/65+/66)...
I don't have direct access to CAC either and if I had the coin, I still would not crack it. Jefferson Nickels are also different from Peace...
It looks like the area in red was more grade limiting than I thought. If this coin had strong toning, it would have been market graded to a 66 or...
Common dated coins without color usually won't get the benefit of doubt. So the downside risk is not $0. Even though we all think it is higher,...
Best of luck on it! This one deserves the gold. As far as cracking and resubmitting, there are times that it makes sense. I would just argue that...
Relying on a plus grade is almost like relying on a star at NGC. They just don't seem to give them out often on standard submissions. Plus I'm...
It's a nice looking coin but I'm not seeing the costs being worth it. A generic 64 is a $40-$50 coin. This one would go for a premium over that. A...
My suggestion was to include it in a PCGS order with some other coins. I'm almost certain NGC would call it AT.
If it did straight grade, I would guess that it would sell for more than if it was blast white. Even raw, you might get $10-$20 for it....
:banghead:
I would say that 1.5 points is already a big spread when the scale is only 1.0-6.9. In my view, a small spread is when everyone is within 1 point....
I have a positive bias towards these proof Jefferson toners and I like this one. I'm going with 4.7
I see both sides of this argument. In my commentary, I did say "it doesn't immediately jump out at me" and thus I see the point being made by...
And it's MS 62 ...the grading on these is sometimes hard to nail down. I think 62 is a bit harsh and would agree with the 63 crowd. [ATTACH]
MS 66
A great looking Buffalo in a cool holder! :)
Reveal coming soon....
That is the most common date for it but the variety exists on plenty of other Franklins. http://www.franklinlover.yolasite.com/bugs-bunny.php
65 ...luster looks to be booming and the fields are super clean...Peace Dollars seems to take a bit more to get up to a 66 though (vs Morgans), so...
My guess/vote is MS 66 as it looks fairly clean and mark-free (but I could see a 65 if an older holder). Based on what I'm seeing the last few...
