Okay, stop trying to be right and read what I wrote again. First, I agree with you that they are not a bottom feeder. But with a edited website...
When ANACS changed their holder, the original slab insert was blue. A few years later, they changed to the mustard label.
Ruben, I am not sure what you are trying to show but those two coins are not comparable. The 1942 is circulated, but nothing about the 1945-S...
I was going to make the same offer.
While I agree with you that SEGS is not a bottom feeder, I feel that most of these companies do little to help themselves in terms of their...
My original impression was MS65 FB. I have seen nothing in the new photos that would make me change my mind. However, your photos are not great...
It doesn't matter if the numbers conform to your engineering definition of comparable. What matters is public perception, and normal people (not...
Uh oh! You fell for the trap.
There is a reason my ox is not getting gored, because I would not purchase ANACS graded coins in that value range. IMO, E-Bay's decision is...
Hard to say, both of my ANACS coins are MS65 common date Morgan Dollars with nice toning. One in a small white old holder that I bought in...
Full Steps are nice but I personally don't go crazy over a Jefferson just because it has full steps or condemn the coin because it doesn't. I...
Compared to the 1,800 PCGS/NGC listings, I consider that a drop in the bucket and not worth crying over.
Redwin117?
How did E-Bay's decision devalue most coins trading in the marketplace when most of the $2,500+ coins already reside in PCGS or NGC plastic? I...
Pre 1970 PR70's do exist but are rare. I don't recall any Franklin Halves graded PF70 though. [img][img] There are some Rosies as well.
I think it would make MS65 FB but I would like to see a photo of the entire coin both obverse & reverse to judge rather than sections of the coin.
@Mike, Which coin? This thread is 15 months old. @Owle, regarding the half dime, the price and the holder bother me more than the toning.
Choosing between an AT or dipped Bust/Seated coin is not a choice I would make.
I just came up with a great idea. A sample slab low ball registry set. @gabemann3000, got any photos? I wanna see how bad the coin really is....
IMO, that is a pretty common toning pattern for a toned IHC's. The coin in the link is another story. Everyone knows that the correct toning...
