Didn't we already grade it ? It looks like an MS-65.
Wonder what GD and Eddie would grade that coin as....does it have any wear on Liberty's face/breast/knee or Eagles wings ? I can't tell.
Totally agree....not sure what PCGS was thinking. That coin eventually went for $2,000 BTW. Glad that counterfeiting of that NGC band appears to...
Agreed....but if there are 2 kinds of wear, only 1 is the dividing line between MS and AU. The TPGs agree with it. Bowers and Akers have signed...
From my just-arrived The Official ANA Standards For Grading Coins 7th Edition: Wear: The abrasion of metal from a coin's surface caused by...
So you admit that 'wear' from mint bags is different than 'wear' from going in and out of our pockets...to a cash register...to a vending...
But is Sperber saying that they are mostly off 1, maybe 2, grades...or is she saying that the coins are being graded incorrectly in the aggregate...
GD, thanks for your responses...I did not know you no longer collect coins, you must have had some collection if you started in 1960. The Good...
I'm not playing games. Would you pay the same price for a Porsche with 3,000 miles of city/highway driving and another Porsche with 3,000 miles...
Nope, and this is why this debate about 'wear' is like those Venn Diagrams we saw as kids. Both have their separate universes and they overlap...
If the TPG's have been 'grading on a curve' all these years -- the market grading -- then stopping and going back in time to a more restrictive...
I disagree. A bunch of gold coins going straight from the press to a bag means you bounce around infrequently against other new coins. The bag...
Based on WHAT ????
GD and Lehigh, I want to THANK YOU BOTH for a fascinating back-and-forth. While my eyes have glazed over at times, I really do appreciate both of...
GD and Eddie: you guys realize if we went by your criteria, that 90-99% of the MS coins might go down to AU ? If I own a classic Porsche with...
I agree that silver has more upside IF we have a precious metals rally/rebound. But that is ALWAYS the case with silver and gold: silver...
There are simply many more of the 1907 HR (but NOT the 1907 UHR) than some of the rare mintages and condition rarities. That's why the price for...
Wow, an MS-67 OGP from the GSA Hoard has crossed $1,600:...
While you have elements of fact here, the point you are trying to make is....how shall I put this kindly....horse poopie. :D If anybody could...
Well, the relief is definitely different from those. The Saints you listed are either very rare or EXTREMELY-rare (i.e., 1927-D). So despite...
