Interesting. Any idea when that coin was slabbed ?
Truly an impressive coin :thumb:
A strange coin and one that has me puzzled, at least the pics do. The obv almost looks like it has been scuffed for lack of another word. Got...
The mint only sells them in the annual Proof sets. But some dealers will sometimes put together rolls of culls from the Proof sets and sell them....
Correct. And my grade would now drop to 64. Paul - as for why : I played around with the pictures a bit and that allowed me to see some things...
Glad you brought that thread up Paul - regarding the coins that started that conversation, you never did tell us what the coins were graded.
Then read a book and you will find that it is. You will also find out that errors are not graded on the same basis.
It's had a harsh cleaning in the past and since re-toned. As for grade I'd say VF details and F net.
No it is universal. The same principle applies to grading world coinage too. Maybe not ancients, but then I know nothing about ancients. But it...
Then post pics of the 66 as well as the 65's so I can try and explain the difference between them. Been answered already, but yes,...
What's wrong with is this - you have to judge each date/mint on its own merits because of different minting techniques used by the different mints...
Well, over the years the order of importance for each criteria has changed. But for the past several years luster has been of primary importance....
Here's the thing with the date. Sometimes the numerals were punched in one at a time, and sometimes they were punched in with a block punch. This...
It sounds like what you are misunderstanding is that there is more to grading a coin than contact marks. When trying to grade higher grade (65...
Dropped mine to 65, it has more marks than I thought based on the other pics. I think the coin has more luster than the pics are showing. Reckon...
There's a large scratch across the shoulder if that's what you're talking about. The glitter like effect is usually called the orange peel effect...
Resubmissions to NGC and PCGS often result in down-grades too; or they remain the same; or they upgrade. All three things are also true about...
Well, not when you consider that I was specializing in Low Countries gold, particularly ducats.
Kinda, I believe the correct way to put it would be say it is the definitive book on the gold coinage of the Low Countries from the time of...
Well I asked the question largely because of your previous comment - You said flat out that you would buy the PF 66 coin if it were in an NGC...
Separate names with a comma.
