Everyone has their standards and that is perfectly fine by me. With this coin, the raw price was low enough and I liked the look regardless of...
Bumping this thread as there appear to be some suspicious posts again.
And the reveal.... PCGS MS 63 -> CACG MS 61 I'm not sure why someone decided to cross or crack as the coin seemed appropriately graded at the 63...
In some scenarios, you can tell accelerated toning apart from normal but in others cases you cannot.
I could not find a definition of the plus grade but my best guess is that it is like the other grading services where a plus means the top end of...
The sudden jump in melt together with the fact that much of the lower grade (and even higher grade newer silver) is "common" and in high enough...

Nice finds! And quite interesting to see that much variety at a small show!
I bought it on eBay raw in a 2 x 2 holder (not in the proof packaging). I then kept it in a generic slab (lighthouse) before sending to ICG.
By raw, I meant not in a grading company slab. The first picture was taken inside of a generic self-slab where I was storing it before sending to ICG.
I think there are several potential explanations for the toning: 1) The original proof set was stored in a hot/humid environment for several years...
Very nice!
I figured this one could be its own thread. Part of my recent ICG sub had a colorful American Samoa Proof Quarter. ICG gave it a PR 69+ grade (the...
